One act to look out for is Dirty Bird’s Kill Frenzy. The German tech-house (err booty-house?) producer promises to have a good showing. Kill Frenzy is definitely a stand-out act to see and should be performing early so do not miss it.

Last week, RL Grime‘s post-apocalyptic trap show, Void Tour, rolled through town, and although I wasn’t sitting on pins and needles initially, as soon as I got to the venue for the night, I could tell I was in for a treat. After the slow release of RL Grime’s highly-anticipated rookie full-length album, I knew I had to see what all the hype was about. And as much as I enjoyed the record, I enjoyed RL’s live show tenfold. Lesser known as Henry Steinway, the scene’s top trap-purveyor had me captivated the entire time with his dark, gritty brand of hard-knocking trap and his finessed hip-hop fusion, working in not only everything I wanted to hear that night, but everything I didn’t know I wanted to hear too. The LA-based producer’s seemingly minimal, yet intricately complex stage design accentuated the music perfectly, and allowed the quintessential RL Grime sound to fill the room and take everyone in attendance to the world of Void. As soon as his pyramid light structure sliced through the dark room and the strobes began to blast the packed crowd, my jaw hit the floor–where it remained until the house lights came on two hours later.

Clockwork’s trap-tyrant alter ego took to the stage after Djemba Djemba warmed the crowd with his brain-rattling brand of experimentally fearless bass music, and after a set packed with waves of rolling bass, I moved from my balcony perch down onto the venue’s main floor for what was surely about to be a rowdy affair. With my elbows up, I was ready for RL to take the stage, but I definitely wasn’t ready for what he was about to deliver.

Crusing between everything from Kanye West to Jack Ü, the Beastie Boys to Lil Wayne, Baauer, DJ Snake, and everything in between, RL Grime’s set was loaded with hell-raisers that kept the entire crowd moving all night long. The set was tied together with a collection of Grime’s best, sprinkling in “Mercy,” “Core,” and “Tell Me,” and “Trap on Acid.” Each time he dropped one of his biggest hits, the venue shook like a riot was about to ensue. About five minutes into the set, the album’s overarching concept fully hit me; this set could very well be the commencement of the apocalypse. I was prepared. I hunkered down and put my best trap-face on and kept dancing.

RL’s stage presence was also a noteworthy element to the show. He was having just as much fun as the crowd was and the energy in the room was palpable. He humbly accepted his role as “Life of the Party” from his dark pulpit before the packed crowd, and he delivered exactly what everyone in attendance wanted. To anyone who thinks trap music’s time in the sun is over, go see the Void Tour if you can. You’ll be eating your words. And for anyone who thinks that trap music is a cheaply produced, maligned sub-genre of hip-hop, listen to RL Grime’s latest record. It’ll change the standard of trap music for you.

Admittedly, I was one of these people just a short time ago. I thought I grew out of trap music after I grew out of sophomoric, sticky, vodka-soaked college pregames. I thought the trap music palette was unsophisticated and generally not too creative. Void flipped those misconceptions upside down and delivered the one-two punch I needed to realize that I still love trap music with all my heart. Ultimately it showed me that when done to the meticulous degree of detail that RL Grime spent on his record and live show, trap music can still captivate crowds and tear the house down.

Phoenix, Arizona could be the next place to establish the newest up-and-coming festival destination in the country. With Las Vegas hosting EDC‘s largest U.S. installment and southern California being the home of both Coachella and HARD Summer, it seems as only a matter of time before Phoenix taps into the festival market. The Valley of the Sun is preparing to host the first annual Phoenix Lights Festival on March 22nd, rounding off their headliner announcement with a star-studded cast of performers. The event’s inaugural bill will be lead by Hardwell, Robin Schulz, Route 94, Lane 8, and most recently confirmed, Canadian bass gods Zeds Dead.

Although the full roster of acts has yet to be announced, Phoenix Lights is already promising a colorful variety of performances from some of dance music’s most sought-after performers. The newly announced event is promising to bring leading-edge designs, interactive art, and vibrant lighting displays to the mix. Lead by a very impressive list of headliners, Phoenix Lights is gearing up to deliver what could grow into the next big west coast event.

McDowell Mountain Music Festival has released their 2015 lineup with a decidedly  more diverse array acts to perform in Phoenix March 27-29. The four headliners who top the bill could not be more disparate.

We’ve got Wide Spread Panic’s brand country classic rock, Passion Pit’s bubbly electropop, Thievery Corporation’s jazzy trip-hop, and Phantogram’s droning electronica filling out the top billings this year. MMMF has been known for it’s eclectic lineups in the past but this year it appears festival organizers to have embraced it’s reputation as a smorgasbord  of different tastes. To keep things straight for our readers I have broken down the lineup into genres. There may be some overlap in these groups so please don’t crucify me in the comment section (I get it; Portugal, the Man released an electronic album in 2007)

“Rock”

Widespread Panic

Portugal. the Man

Trampled by Turtles

The Hourglass Cats

Black Bottom Lighters

Tommy Ash Band

“Dance”

Passion Pit

STRFKR

Trombone Shorty & New Orleans Avenue

Thievery Corporation

Phantogram

Karl Denson

“EDM”

Break Science

Beats Antique

Sunsquabi

So there you have it! A festival that appeals to near any group of friends, unless of course you only listen to hip hop as there is none to be found this year! 3-Day Passes are on sale now for $135 with single day passes for $50 + fees.

After DAKTYL, Mr. Kodak To Graph came on and was the whole reason I was at Crescent Ballroom in the first place. With a more personal setting I knew Kodak would deliver a more intimate performance.
His whole set had me in a trance. Not as much dancing as much as good vibes, but his music makes you feel. Dig a little bit deeper in your soul, release your fears and open you heart.
Kodak did his thing but the energy was building for Slow Magic and what would be my first live viewing. All the masks and face-paint in the crowd was a beautiful sight but it wasn’t until Slow Magic came out wearing this humongous lit up mask that I understood why. His mask is three to five times as big as your average mask and it changes colors and rhythms depending on the song.
Slow Magic knows how to control the room as he uses his epic wailing bass so the room never goes quiet. After overcoming a little technical difficulty Slow Magic took over and the crowd was lit up.

He started slow and vibey, but once he dropped ‘Girls’ his backdrop lit up as bright as could be and you could see everyone in the crowd literally put there hands up and shaking their hips. Inhibitions gone, it became one big dance party filled with smiles and happiness.

‘On Yr Side’ best encapsulated Slow Magic’s drum precision as he wailed away to the eerie banger. Setting the mood with his beats, his drumming is like a caveman banging away to the night sky.
Not only did Slow Magic put on a performance but he put on a show for the crowd. DAKTYL and Kodak To Graph were nice starters but Slow Magic is a must see if you haven’t had the pleasure of a live viewing. Between his original sound, the drums and the mask your getting the full one of a kind experience.

As if Brillz wasn’t already having one of the biggest years of his life, he and recent OWSLA addition Snails are gearing up for one hell of a tour. The Twonkoholics Tour 2014 has over 20 stops across the country hitting cities like Seattle, New York and even Atlanta for a special performance at TomorrowWorld.

This tour is huge for multiple reasons, the first being that this is Brillz’ second headlining tour in the past year and a half. Another is that the Snails is quickly becoming one of the biggest artists on the scene right now.
