North Coast Music Festival is Coming

It has been a blast watching North Coast Music Festival aka "Summer's Last Stand" grow Organically through the past few years. The concept of this Festival was started by few promoters who wanted to dive in more towards the Urban taste-maker side of things musically from "Classic" to "Current" and focused on the local and International/ upcoming artists which most Festivals seem to glance by too often these days. Establishing a great reputation since 2010, North Coast  Music Festival only becomes more thoughtful year by year which makes the 3 day event that goes from  September 4th - September 6th  come and go oh too quickly.

Sweetlife Music & Food Festival with HeadaboveHeart

Our good friend Kevin Hulse over at HeadaboveHeart recently went on an adventure to Sweetlife Music & Food festival and snapped some pics for us. Big shout out to Kevin and Joy Asico for the shots and thanks to Veronica Rodriguez for the write up on the fest below. Periodic downpours didn’t detour mud soaked hipsters from basking in the sounds at this year’s Sweetlife Festival. The diverse music line-up was a perfect blend for any music lover’s taste buds.

Sweetlife was anything but a gentle footprint in the DMV area. The stellar line-up included Solage, Gary Clark Jr., Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kendrick Lamar and Passion Pit. Phoenix poured down old familiars like Lisztomania and mixed in some new material, they brought it and made us crave for a mid-night treat.

The amazing thing about this festival is that it’s not contrived. The whole experience is organic. If downward dog isn’t your thing, grab a beer. Not a beer drinker, there’s healthy food options. If you’re not a foodie, then make your way to the stage for amazing music. If you don't like amazing music, you may have a problem. The fact is the Sweetlife experience is partying with 20,000 friends rather than cattle shuffling through the motions of a good time.

And then there's the food... Typical venue fair is expected, but rows of appetizing gourmet food trucks? Yes please. You know things are right when you see DC’s own Spike Mendelsohn getting his grub on.

Next year will mark the 5 year anniversary for this music/food fest; if you want a taste of the good life then make it to Sweetlife.

EVENT | AC Slater at Insert Coins (Las Vegas)

AC Slater at Insert Coins, Las Vegas Sunday, Dec. 9 at 10 pm, sponsored by Heineken Light. Featuring world-renowned DJs AC Slater, Flinch and Harvard Bass, the Night Owls Tour brings its bass-pumping DJ sets to the bustling neon lights of Downtown Las Vegas, as their only Vegas stop on the tour.

AC Slater has quickly become one of the most sought after remixers and producers. Raised on Hip-Hop and nourished by old school rave, AC has cultivated these influences to give birth to his own style of music production. One of the top blogged dance artists in the world, AC’s track can be frequently heard on radio stations worldwide and he’s constantly touring globally.

Flinch, aka Adam Glassco, is a veteran producer who has progressed effortlessly from his beginnings in drum and bass and then electro to current endeavors into jump-up and deeper, more melodic synth-based dubstep. The succession of sounds Flich adheres to reflects a new breed of artists distinguished most by his ability to marry careful grit and distortion with catchy songwriting. A true tastemaker, Flinch consistently delivers a wide selection of cuts riding between UK funky, club, techno, garage and dubstep genre lines.

With the creation of Bump City Records, Harvard Bass is extending his brand to other talented producers and ensuring the scene stays fresh with creative ideas. Constant praise pouring in from respected DJs such as Tiga, Richie Hawtin, Boys Noize and Dubfire salutes the burgeoning musical niche that is taking form, with Harvard at the forefront. Armed with the talent and tenacity to succeed, Harvard Bass has been cemented as a force to be reckoned with in House, Techno music and beyond.

The Night Owl Tour at Insert Coin(s) will take place on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 10 pm and give showgoers an up-close-and-personal dance experience with these world-class DJs. Advance tickets are on sale to the public now at a cost of $10 each and can be purchased here: http://www.wantickets.com/Events/116903/NIGHT-OWLS-TOUR/

A limited supply of tickets will also be available at the door. Must be 21 years of age or older to attend.
