One of your most promising options for New Year’s this year: the Snowglobe Music Festival in Lake Tahoe, December 29-31. The line-up guarantees three days of the nastiest dubstep, glitch-hop, hip-hop, and house. French YouTube mash-up star Madeon will be making one of his debut performances in the United States. Dillon Francis and Figure will be bringing in the exclusive new moombahton bangers in complement to their electro/fidget and dubstep roots (and a lot of drumstep in the case of Figure). Big Gigantic will represent the ever so common saxophone-with-live-EDM format. Underground glitch genius Dave Tipper will most likely be the favorite of anybody who’s had the pleasure of hearing him before. Porter Robinson, the 19- or 20- year-old electro house front-runner who’s been touring with Tiesto, will bring his sound to the Lake. “Community” TV star Donald Glover will be there as his rap alter ego, Childish Gambino. Also on the bill is Datsik, who was recently able to collab with the person who got him into bass music in the first place: Bassnectar. Bassnectar will be headlining the show alongside Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, and The Glitch Mob.
Check out the rest of the line-up here because the few artists I’ve mentioned hardly covers it.
This is for the weekend warriors, the nightlife ninjas, and the curbside crawlers; we are with you all the way. We at CYV encourage herbal remedies, Bloody Marys, and of course a daily dose of slaps to aide all the aches, bumps, and bruises you collected over the weekend.
It’s simple: Save Sunday is five songs, one mixtape, easy to play, easy to repeat, and of course download links provided for mobile enjoyment. All sounds get love so expect to find everything from booms to bangs.
Sundays never looked so good.
“This week we kindly welcome homeskillet Danny Weird to get a little strange for us. Tune in to vibe out to the glitch hop goodness that has become a staple of his Bay Area appearances.” -joseph
22tape is producer Jared Dunne who hails from the lovely state of Colorado (or is it Chicago? His soundcloud leaves me guessing..). He just released his Mosaic Change Tone EP, and as far as the genre goes, I’d say it’s best to quote him on this one: “downbeat vinylicious hip hop with a smidge of glitch.” My favorite track from the EP, by far, is Saloon Shagger. Littered with smooth sexy saxaphones, delicious organic sounds, and a glitchy break beat, this track glides you through a boddy-poppin’ journey into absolute bliss!
This release enters the ring with knockout big-names like Flying Lotus and Krush — and boy is this kid a contender. It took me awhile to get around to posting this, and I apologize for sleeping on it so hard. Glad to let this EP see some CYV™ love because I’m sure there is greatness in store for young Dunne. Fantastic experimental stuff here folks, so do yourself a favor, and pick up this whole EP…for free!
