Bassnectar Announces Basscenter 2016 Info

After all the speculation and hints Bassnectar has finally revealed his Summer Basscenter plans for Colorado. In lieu of returning to Red Rocks, Bassnectar will curate a very special event at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, which is located just outside of Denver in Commerce City. The major league soccer venue is a unique spot for a concert in Denver as it has on-site camping available on the adjacent practice fields. The 26,000 person capacity venue has proven to be a popular spot for fans of Phish, who have held multi-night runs for the past five years. Basscenter will be held on July 29th & 30th. Each night will feature a host of superb openers along with an extended set from Bassnectar. Friday will feature sets from Flux Pavilion, Flying Lotus, Lupe Fiasco, Minnesota, and Dabin.

[LINEUP] Summer Camp Music Festival Announces Initial 2016 Lineup

Summer Camp Music Festival announced their initial 2016 lineup this week just in time for the holidays. Moe. & Umphrey’s McGee return again as the festival’s main headliners and each will perform a multitude of sets across three days. STS9 makes a return to the festival after crushing last year with two sets including a particularly memorable late-night Red Barn set. Rounding out the headliners is Thievery Corporation who will return to Chillicothe for their second ever appearance at the festival.

The next two tiers of artists includes Summer Camp veterans and newcomers alike. Festival favorites such as Dopapod, EOTO, Greensky Bluegrass, Keller Williams, Lettuce, Manic Focus, SunSquabi, TAUK, Turbo Suit, Twiddle, The Werks, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Zoogma will all make an appearance, as will Scamp newcomers Emancipator, NGHTMRE & Shiba San. Other highlights include the UK funk, soul, & jazz group The New Mastersounds and the Russ Liquid Test (live band) which I can attest will be a set not to miss after seeing their debut performance earlier this Fall in Denver.

The 16th annual Summer Camp will once again take place next year over Memorial Day Weekend at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois. This year looks like it could be a bit more jam heavy than the past few years which could be attributed to next year’s hiatus of other jam-heavy festivals such as Wakarusa and Gathering of the Vibes. However, as this is just the initial lineup expect many more awesome bands and electronic artists to be added in the future. Early bird tickets for the festival are available now!

Wakarusa Announces Cancellation of 2016 Festival

In unfortunate news, Wakarusa has announced that they will not hold the annual music and camping festival in 2016. The festival had been held annually since 2004 and was held at Mulberry Mountain since 2009. A statement posted on Wakarusa’s social media pages discussed the reasons for the cancellation of next year’s festival, read the full statement below.

“It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that Wakarusa will take 2016 off.

Wakarusa has been a labor of love for all of us these last twelve years. We have been defiantly independent and unique since our inception. Together we created a magical 5 day event that stood out from the rest. We’ve taken great pride in what we’ve created with you and for you over the last decade plus. The Waka community (friends, family, fans, musicians, artists, performers, volunteers, staff) has really been the heart and soul of what Wakarusa IS. This community shares a natural passion for what is truly genuine. Wakarusa is wonderfully original – it is organic, mystical and always marvelously weird, and like Wakarusa, you too are decidedly different and perfectly magnificent.

As such, you deserve to know the principal reason behind our hiatus:

Wakarusa was significantly damaged by partners claiming to share our vision. Sadly, they lied. They are being dealt with appropriately through the legal system. Further, we have found that the universe is often much more effective in dealing with these perpetrators than the legal system. Regardless, it is our sincere hope and anticipation that what we have built together – we will once again enjoy on our beloved and magical mountain.

For now, we shall dust ourselves off. We must take time to recharge our faith and our energy. Passionate people do not throw in the towel because of a bump in the road. We look brightly toward the future. We will bring more music and more art and many more wickedly unrivaled memories. We know the world is a better place when there is more music and more love.

Our scrape with the unsavory has lead us to realize what is most important to us, which is all of YOU (you and you…and you too). So in our brief absence, please stay in touch and look out for each other. Take special care to really nurture what is most important in each of your lives. There is simply too much to be down or discouraged about in this world. Be the beacon of joy and hope – we need more of that in this world. So now we do ask that you share your positive energy with us. We’ll use it as our strength and inspiration to create an even better WAKA experience that is ever more magical. With your help, we will bring Wakarusa back to Mulberry Mountain.

Until then, be safe, spread your positivity and your light and remember to always remain marvelously weird!”

[TOUR DATES] Beak Nasty Announces 2016 Tour

Over the past 6 months, Positive Vibe Tribe has been getting settled down in our glorious new home of Denver, Colorado. We have been busy discovering the expansive music scene in this great state. For our first post we would like to showcase one of the many artists we have discovered since moving.

Beak Nasty, familiarize yourself with this name now as I feel this young producer is poised to make a great impact in the coming year. Beak Nasty, aka Ryland Sabien, is a 21 year old producer out of Wisconsin currently residing in Boulder, Colorado. The talented young artist released The World Is Real EP earlier this Fall. The album is great showcase of Beak Nasty’s style which can be compared to other producers such as GRiZ & Manic Focus. The EP features elements of hip-hop and funk combined with deep bass lines. Sabien’s multi-instrumental talents allows the album a depth not found on all-digital recordings.

Starting in January, Beak Nasty will embark on a massive headlining tour across the country. The World Is Real Tour will start in Colorado with an appearance in support of the legendary Blackalicious. Then the tour will work its way through Montana and North Dakota before heading to the Midwest for dates in Wisconsin, Chicago, and more. The tour will have additional dates added in the future. Check out the list of dates below!
