~ Paul Bassis, Producer of ARISE ~

full_60434

A new festival has emerged onto the Colorado scene this summer. Backdropped by the serene beauty of the Rocky Mountains, Arise Festival has set its sights on being the very essence of a festival –  co-creation, music, art, yoga, and community. Sunrise Ranch, an hour north of Denver, will provide the magical space for festival goers to explore and re-connect with nature and one another. The atmosphere is looking to come together seamlessly, complete with Hemp Village, Kids Village, Organic Food and Beverage Village, and hey, my fellow beer lovers, a Craft Beer and Wine Village!

The festival will also feature a selection of independent films including – Bidder 70, Chasing Water, Arise, and The Bloom. If that doesn’t expand your mind enough – check out the healing space, Temple of the Heart, on site. It will encompass activities like yoga, kirtan, meditation, and a healers tent to completely rejuvinate you- mind, body, and soul.

THE BASICS

WHAT TO BRING: face paint, headlamp, re-fillable water bottle, warm clothes for the CO nights

The Nature Stage –

See above photo

A mystery set in the woods at nature stage, by Ekim. With the backdrop of an incredible Oregonian rainforest scene (see above Picture).  Ekim could throw it down to amuse and confuse the crowd simultaneously.  Ekim also knew how to change it up, and he would do so at will, not according to the set list but by what people were getting down to.  With heavy wobbles and Super-Sound speakers taller than the average taller person.  The variety of sound was great and the noise selection was very thought-out and carefully placed in space.

His style was new to me but I almost instantly became a fan and had to dance.   Please contact us on facebook or twitter or e-mail us if you can help us find Ekim’s Music, e-mail, or profile Anywhere, can someone help us!?  Ekim from Human Nature, hello? Where are you on the internet, come find us!

Manolis Moumouzias: from Greece


This artist takes the one man band approach, creating layers and harmonies with himself in his home studio.
His talent is clear though collaboration often elvates a sound where one man falls short.  That said, this music by Manolis Moumouzias is impressive and has the potential to captivate an audience.  With dedication to the creative process, Manolis creates his unique interpretation of sound with the motto “just because  a part was recorded, doesn’t mean it needs to be in the mix”.. His cover, Stuck like glue, is his most popular video on youtube.

Mellow Mood Monday… With some spacy, reverse to close the desert of silence.

Resolution- Jan 28th, 2012

Resolution Portland, Oregon, USA

Upon reflection, this show has been a highlight of 2012 thus far.  With much more to come, who can sit still? Here is some of the music that has permitted the West Coast vibrations and will continue for yeas to come!

Phuture Primitive!

Horizon Events threw a massave rager in a warehouse in Portland.  Actually let me rephrase that.  A collective effort was put forth to create a ridiculous event with a killer light show.  A spectacular display of lights, lasers, and video to the eyes with lighting by Dreamer, visuals by Light Trope, and space shaping by Renaissnce Raven, the ave was scheduled from 9:00PM to 6:00AM.  9 hours of head pounding, sternum wrenching bassy electronic music coupled with incredible visuals, i think all were sweaty and satisfied as the sun was rising.

“RESOLUTION! The show was sold out!!!!!!! 500+ heads in the building make for a special night! Big ups to RE SOUND for the KV2 sweetness, all the vendors, the AMAZING DJ TALENT, THE AMAZING SECURITY TEAM, MICHEAL BOWLES and his crew for the dopest stage setup I have ever seen, JOSH FITZ for equally impressive video design, DREAMER with the DOPEST LASER SHOW IN THE NW” -Zilch

A special thanks to Tribal Spectrum, Michael Bowls (Renaissance Raven), Stapelton, Alden Rodgers and Horizon Events!

Hamilton Beach – Ear's Reach

By Leave a Comment

“I started making music a few years back, using Ableton Live and Logic. (I use mainly Ableton nowadays.) Ma shit is mainly Electro-jammy-dubby-hip-hop(esque), with maybe a little glitch thrown in for good measure…i draw from a lot of different influences, as you will hear. I have a bachelor’s degree in music from Denison University, and am currently getting my masters degree at the University of Oregon in Intermedia Music Technology. I am based out of Eugene, OR.” – Nate Asman

Ahoy by Hamilton Beach

With continual development Hamilton Beach crashes upon the shores of ones ears. Pleasant enough for early morning melodies.  Hamilton Beach clearly focuses on the synths as they all continually pulse, shrink, and morph.  The clever titles of the compositions, such as “I’ll think of something”, seem to get a little less attention.  After all there are no lyrics in the songs, why should one need to place a word on an instrumental?

I’ll Think of Something by Hamilton Beach

Concert Report from Spain

By 1 Comment

            -October 11th 2011-

Photos courtesy of Resistance

A warm brisk night in Seville, Spain, leads to the makings to a wonderful night of music. The music-goers start to trickle in the street surrounding the venue around midnight. Nightlife in Europe begins much later than Americans are accustomed to.  As cars pull up, trunks are popped, music played, drinks are passed, and the dancing begins. Inside Cosmos, a large dance-floor is surrounded by stacks of speakers in all four corners packing plenty of bass with amazing quality.  The lights covered the ceiling, with more strobes behind the performers. A full-service bar with beautiful bartenders, a premium sitting area with a good view of the stage, allowed everyone to find a comfortable place to enjoy the music. Top of the bill were Drum-N-Bass heavyweights Counterstrike from South Africa, with local favorites Dub Elements, Venganza, and Qkhack leading us into the night. Qkhack began the festivities with a wonderful set, a bit lighter than what was to come. Dub Elements was amazing, with a wide variety of drops, bass, and build-ups. The much-anticipated Counterstrike, was worth the wait, and brought some of the most serious bass, heavy hitting hard Drum-N-Bass. The dance-floor literally erupted and didn’t stop moving until the end of their set.

Qkhack – Broke (Unsigned) by Qkhack

Overall, it was much different from anything else I have ever experienced, a wonderful loving crowd, accepting of my lack of Spanish speaking skills, and amazing music. If you ever find yourself in Seville, Spain check out the Resistance facebook page, they have events sporadically, but would definitely be worth checking out.

Technical Housing =Proper= by Amine Allali

Amine Allali is a rising DJ from Australia.  Originally from Casablanca, Morocco, Allali is only 16 years old and already has a good ear for blending tracks.  The next step is to create some original compositions and release them in high-quality format for others to remix.  Amine classifies his music as: Electro / House / Trance.   His description of his music is accurate, and his ear for rhythm is strong to say the least.  Listen to this percussion here in (starting 30 seconds into) the intro~ (c

Bhel Bhel (Original Mix) by Amine Allali

Allali’s style displays a breadth of house music knowledge.

 In his own words he “Loves Fresh House Music”.
His attention to dynamics and high-pass drops followed by heavy bass on the downbeat are noticeable. Allali’s tracks have gradual, continuos and creative developments throughout the duration of the song.  With nice repetitive drum and bass loops, this DJ knows the niche! Did we mention Amine Allali is only 16 years old! He started his musical carrer on the guitar at age 8.

“I love some good sounding beats around 128 bpm, with some quality classical instruments such as piano with some electronic sounds coming here and there, topped off with the combination of a large trashy electro baseline on the drop with a slight moderate amount of some clean vocals, male or female – no auto tune ;)” – Amine Allali

Here is a link to another track that was released 3 Days ago!
