"In a week filled with surprise guests, the unannounced lineup at Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound showcase Friday night at Club De Ville was arguably just as exciting as its confirmed acts. Rapper Wiz Khalifa and dance-funk singer Penguin Prison joined a roster that already included dance acts like RAC and Starslinger as well as hip-hoppers Mac Miller and Three Six Mafia's Juicy J.

Khalifa was on hand to perform with Juicy J, who recently signed with Khalifa's Taylor Gang imprint on Atlantic Records, as well as to support fellow Pittsburgh native Mac Miller. Fellow Taylor Gang rappers Chevy Woods and Lola Monroe also took stage during the surprise set." [Billboard]

Straight.com adds:

"Chicago's DJ duo Flosstradamus opened up the party with a huge club music set going back and forth from hood-based rap anthems to hard-style rave anthems and selections from their upcoming Mad Decent EP and their massive new remix of the Major Lazer single "Original Don"

RAC DJs followed with a perfect indie disco DJ and p.a. set with a selection of their remixes they have done for the likes of Foster the People, Two Door Cinema Club, and Empire of the Sun."

Here are some pictures from that Friday night SXSW show (sent to us by the showcase presenters - no BV photogs were on hand). More of them below...
