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

He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister

 

Freio Music Presents He's My Brother She's My Sister
(LEFT TO RIGHT) AARON ROBINSON, ROBERT KOLAR, LAUREN BROWN, RACHEL
KOLAR AND OLIVER NEWELL. *PHOTO COURTESY OF COURTNEY ELLIS.

 

A rocking band traveling the West-coast & Mid-west USA.

He’s my Brother She’s my Sister, aka HMBSMS, is a band with flare, touch, tap, and style. A unique approach to music and crowd participation. In fact they invited some of the wildest and bravest crowd members to sing with them on stage. HMBSMS has a very heavy tour schedule, and is constantly on the move. After seeing He is my brother she is my sister in Eugene, Oregon, I had to talk with them. The band members were kind enough to agree to a phone interview (click here). The night was clear, the flow of beer, and the music was here at Sam Bond’s Garage.  The sibling vocal harmonies were noticeable in the incredibly cohesive sound despite the Rob having the flue, and sweating profusely during the entire show.  The percussionist Lauren, standing on a kick drum tap-dancing, danced with enthusiasm and a purpose.  Rachel’s beautiful vocals and occasional tambourine shakes kept the flare alive.   With walking bass lines and sliding lap-steal guitar, the sound was keyed in.  HMBSMS opened up the microphone up to other members of the audience, who gratefully grabbed the mic to scat and howl the night away.  With a taste of Eugene, this band wanted a little more, entertaining an encore to the fans delight.  To read more about the show & hear from three members of the band in an interview found only hear on FreioMusic

With an extremely heavy tour schedule, the band will likely be within a couple hours away (if you are in the USA) from your home town.  Check out their tour schedule here:

Mr. RaW

By Leave a Comment

This artist we’re about to profile is a motivated individual, who’s making the necessary moves to prosper in the world of Hip-Hop. A few years ago he packed up shop and moved to LA, where he could further his ambitions as a lyricist and get noticed. Let’s get to know this guy.

Stage Name: Mr.RaW

Birth Name: Taylor Batts

Age: 21

Hometown: Park Hill, Colorado

First instrument: Piano at age 8

Current instrument: Vocals

Genre/style: Hip-Hop

What artists have influenced your sound?

“Artists like 2pac, Rakim, Eminem, Nas, NWA, and Kanye had an impact on me. I don’t really sound like any of these artist but they motivate me to create an original sound just like they did.”

If you could describe your musical style in 3 words, what would you say?

“I wouldn’t need three words, just three letters R a W, it’s all in the name. My goal as an artist is to get better every single day, I’m privileged enough to breath. So I continue to push myself harder and harder to reach my full potential of becoming the RaWest to ever do it. To some it may seem like I am pretty far off, but if they can see where I started and where I am now they would know that goal isn’t to far fetched. My project Rebuild and Recover should help people get more familiar with my passion for music. I do what I do for my city, and I live by the motto that “Rest Is For Billionaires” (Rif.B).”

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!

Chris Ilett form Leicester, United Kingdom

Chris started playing music at the age of 12 and his thirst for music still isn’t quenched. Chris Illet’s tallent spans multiple instruments including guitar, vocals, bass, and a laptop.  His style: Rock.  His signiture: Vocals, which are comparable to the lead singer of Bush, Gavin Rossdale and Bob Dylan.  Bush is from London, coincidence?  I think Not.  Chris’s voice has a raspy weathered timbre. His distorted guitar solos tear through the backing instruments with clarity.  He discribes his sound as “Troubled, intense, [and] raw.” Sound appealing? Hear for yourself!

4ESH!  USA- Miami, Florida
Gucci Gucci (4ESH!’s Dubstep FreioRemix)

Names: Alejandro Diaz, Javier Lopez

Style and Influences: 

“4ESH! started when myself (Alejandro Diaz “DT0X”) and my long time high school friend (Javier Lopez “Avilo”) decided to collab and create music. I started when I was 17 and now we are 23 and 25. We love creating all genres of electronic music but prefer electro house. We have too many influences both in our genre and outside said genre to name. We have a nice following here in Miami but want to expand our horizon.”

Young Hamm:  USA- Denver, Colorado
Gucci Gucci ft Yung Hamm-Mr RaW-Still RaW

Name: Kenneth Henderson

Collaboration with:  Mr.RaW

Style and Influences: 

“I started writing music at the age of 13 and recorded my first song on my 14th birthday. I remember that day like it was just yesterday, I rapped over Nas, Lil Wayne, and Cassidy instrumentals. Since a young age i had always loved music and had that feeling that not only could i create music, but i could be good if not great at it. If i had to make a Top 5 MC list it would be 2pac,Nas,Andre 3000,Lauryn Hill and Common, No specific order. These are the MC’s who inspired me the most, but i studied so many more if not everyone before me. I love what the young/new up and coming artist are doing for the game (J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, K.R.I.T.,Curren$y, Wale) and i think that its up to US to bring it back to what people grew to love. With my music i try to be unique and not just chase after the next hit song. I push hard to make music that I want to make first, then make sure it is something real and easy to relate to. I love to make people think and broaden their imagination while listening to my music, rather it be just a lyric that might go over your head or a whole song concept that makes you want to dig deeper. My main goals with my music are just to be heard and make a person feel emotions while listening,even angry. If i know i can make a person upset and piss them off with my music, then i know its possible to make them smile, then laugh, cry then ultimately go out and search for their biological parents or something. The last but first thing that i do it for is my city, DENVER. There is so much unheard talent out here it kills me to listen to ‘local’ artist. I have always said i dont care if im the first through the door, the last, or the most famous. I will be satisfied knowing that i played a role in opening the door for this ‘Denver Renaissance Movement’. I know everyone cant be the star, If im not a Martin Luther King, what’s wrong with being W.E.B. DuBois?

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.
