ARISE FESTIVAL 2013

“The music is like the fire …. and we all gather around it to warm our souls”

~ 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

Two Fresh Tracks from Surfing SoundWaves

Scott Brown, AKA Surfing SoundWaves, returns to FreioMusic. The 22 year old Denver native illuminates your mind with his smooth and tasty style of music. The bass hits heavy and the leads ride smooth like Orangatang wheels. Here are two tracks from Surfing SoundWave’s upcoming EP “Guerilla Warfare” (due to drop late this fall) for free download! Each jam has it’s own distinct journey and feel. The Cozza Frenzy Remix bangs hard, making use of heavy leads and phat sub-bass. “Guerilla Warfare” (the title track) is a deep, ominous ride through the unknown. This young producer really shows promise as he continues to improve and explore his sound. The big stages are calling for Surfing SoundWaves!

Night Wave

Freio brings you some deep-south dub! Coming at you from Ft. Worth, Texas, here is Night Wave. In the hard-hitting world that is dubstep, Eric Sauber is a heavy weight favorite. As the production mastermind behind Night Wave, Eric Sauber is one of the heaviest, filthiest, dub-face-makin’ music producers to reach my ears. The haunting combination of incredibly crisp, samples into deep, dark lows is simply one of a kind. Take some time, let the beat soak into your skin. This is some dubstep that you simlpy cannot afford to miss. For booking or any other inquiries, hit Eric up at ericjsauber@gmail.com, and of course, become a fan by visiting the links at the bottom. Big ups to Night Wave, mad respect for the work you put into your music. Onward!

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.

the Beat Molecular

What is the Beat Molecular? The Beat Molecular is an Electronic Music Label from Pakisan!

Well to start off, what is your name?  “My name is Saquib Malik (pronounced Saakib) and my main partner is Abeer Sheikh. Our two other partners are Talal and Zoi. We are all pretty much best friends and grew up together in Lahore, Pakistan, and all started playing music together…. we grew up in Lahore in Pakistan, but today we are all over the world. Our name as a record label is THE BEAT MOLECULAR- and we each spin and produce under our real names, no DJ-sassyrazmatazz bullshit, no offense… we just think our names are unique enough. But again, our label is the beat molecular and it is from Pakistan.”

What is your vision for the Beat Molecular? “We are Pakistan’s first electronic music label. We want to take the best Pakistani artists, collect them, put them out into the world of electronic music and eventually have them break out onto the scenes and circuits where they belong- not just house parties and basements… Instead to spread them and book them all over the world… Pakistan is full of the most insane, mad, amazing, genius raw talent we have seen and we have seen many scenes! We started an underground house/tech house/minimal/techno/deep house scene in Pakistan which is thriving even though some of us are abroad… after Pakistan, where else could we expand, right?
We are each artists who have accomplished/proven ourselves to be of some worth…. Talal and Zoi are on so many labels we lost count, from Rawthentic (Carlo Lio’s label) to Dirtybird (Claude Von Stroke’s) to Airbus to Dantze (Phillip Bader’s label) to Bosphorous Underground (Ahmet Sendil’s label) and so many more… they have several beatport chartings and just are making noise everywhere! The same goes for Abeer Sheikh who on Dantze Records produced I wanna be like you that hit the beatport top 10 the third day it came out, for our boy Hassan Malik (Vivid) whose on Sorobu records, Deso records, and the massive SETA! and the only person in Pakistan who is any good at producing and spinning deep house! to Saquib who used to run a huge death/black metal label and toured the whole US/Canada and all the way to Imaad Manzar, a man who has owned/bumped/thumped/destroyed dancefloors all over Pakistan and is a well known name in the local Lahore scene. Each artist brings his own cult, and well our vision is to expand that cult to the tiniest corners of the world!”

What instruments do you play, and what style would you call your music?  “We are all multi-instrumental… We all literally play every instrument from guitar, bass, drums, keys, vocals, and Sitar! Squib tall and imaad all used to play in metal bands (death metal) and we each played different forms of music before getting into electronic music.”

Sketch, from Pakistan!

The Beat Molecular, the first electronic music label in Pakistan, is certainly growing fast and headed in a positive direction with well educated, and cultured individuals leading the way.  One duo to come out of the Beat Molecular is Sketch.  Sketch is composed of Abeer Sheik and Saquib Malik.   Abeer is back in Lahore, Pakistan in law school, while Saquib is in Grenada (a small island near South-America) in medical school.  An interesting combination of cultures styles, degrees, and influences.  Check them out:

Florida 4ESH

By 2 Comments

4ESH from Miami, FL

Javier Lopez & Alejandro Diaz are the talented DJ Duo that make up”4ESH!” from Miami, FL.  I asked the duo, what their vison for 4ESH is?  They replied “to create electronic music in any genre that is big or has been big at some point. We are a lot like MSTRKRFT meaning we adapt our sound with changing times while always working together. Hopefully we can go on tour with a big record label one day and play our music to big crowds all across the world.”

I asked the duo how they created their sound.  The responded “we basically produce all of our music on Ableton Live and we have a wide range of instruments/ synthesizers that we use and would be too many to list.” What style of music do you produce? “Our music can be categorized anywhere between electro/ electro house/ dubstep/ moombahton/ trance/ house/ deutch house since we like to take our talents to all genres that are being played.”

These 4ESH boys have a sense of humor when it comes to song artwork (See Right).  Wether or not you enjoy this music is probably dependent on wether or not the genres electronic, trance and dub interests you.  If it does, Listen UP!

This track is a whomping 62 Minutes of mind-numbing trance, house, and electro that should be heard around the globe!  Recommended for late night dance party or for a revitalizing rejuvenating turn into trance any time of day.  With surprising turns, twists, low/highpass swells, and drops till tomorrow, this song will keep you entertained all 62 minutes.
