SLEEPYCATT’s Minecraft Birthday Party is the Music Festival 2018 Deserved

Soundcloud twitter is a universe crowded with memes and quotable tweets. Cartoonish personalities and characters that govern a community that feels cooler than the audio distribution platform itself. If you heard this past week that there was a “Minecraft Party” where Charli XCX showed up, you were correctly informed. For one night, Minecraft was the festival ground for a 13+ artist lineup that included Soundcloud favorites Y2K, Valentine, umru, William Crooks, Cavan Brady, Sadkey, Yitaku, Ramen Boy, and Gupi to celebrate SLEEPYCATT’s 21st Birthday.

Under The Midwest Sky 515 Alive Music Festival Crushes Again!

515 Alive

This past weekend we headed to 515 Alive Music Festival to cover one of the best festivals in the Midwest. Last year they hosted the event in downtown Des Moines at Gateway Park.

This year’s 10th anniversary of Hard Summer was no different and in my opinion was one of if not the best Hard event I have experienced since Hard Haunted Mansion 2009 (it was lit, trust me). This year I was lucky enough to be invited to check more »

Latest Album From Camo & Krooked Inspires Innovation In Drum & Bass

As an avid fan of drum & bass and a personal fan of Camo & Krooked since 2012, it has been quite interesting to see the evolution of their sound since then. In full honesty (no pun towards said single intended), my appreciation for them had always been based upon melodic liquid bangers like ‘Watch It Burn’ and ‘Nothing Is Older Than Yesterday.’ However, Zeitgeist first hinted at a changing direction in the duo’s style, and Mosaik marks the complete advancement to something fresh in the realm of drum & bass. The biggest change in Camo & Krooked’s progression has been more »

He will have you feeling things deep within your soul, and give you a sense of freedom, tranquility and the happiest of emotions all in one.
