[Festival Review] Outside Lands IX : Revisiting the Most Memorable Acts of the Weekend

OSL7In continuing to build on the foundation laid nine years ago, Another Planet Entertainment has once again outdone themselves; the final product being yet another successfully executed Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival. The 2016 version – keen on replicating the successes of previous iterations – was calculated in its approach, careful not to break the trends and quirks that have made it such a mainstay to the community.

Instead, APE kept what has worked and improved upon it; meaning deeper lineups, aesthetically more impressive sound and lighting productions, finally allowing payment via RFID-enabled festival wristbands, and a fair amount of side stages to keep all wandering pseudo-bohemians well occupied. Unfortunately, along with the quality improvements also came a pretty substantial price adjustment – putting on a nationally recognized festival is big business, after all.

Those willing to stomach the uptick were treated to an especially diverse lineup ranging from saxophone playing acts like Kamasi Washington and GRiZ, nostalgia-inducing pop rock outfit Third Eye Blind, platinum (and featureless) hip hop artist J.Cole, EDM prodigy Zedd, the Jack-of-all-trades Garratt, and rags to riches rapper Anderson .Paak.

[Future] Låpsley – Falling Short (DiamondCvtter Remix)

DiamondCvtter
Låpsley-Falling Short(DiamondCvtter Remix)

These two veterans of the Team Supreme beat cypher scene decided to switch up their approach recently, and take on a few edits and remixes. Låpsley‘s Falling Short has been a popular subject of remixing recently, and DiamondCvtter are the newest to throw their hat into the ring. With a mesh of dubstep, trap, and futuristic elements, this duo has birthed a game changer. This is the type of tune that works out your speakers and never sits stagnant for a single second, hopping amongst new crazy elements in an unpredictable but intriguing fashion throughout. When you say something is “future,” you can run into some flack for that phrase as of late, but DiamondCvtter is doing the “future” state of mind a service with remixes like these.

Sunday Night Soul [Vol. 13]

Valentine’s Day is this Friday, and depending on your situation, that last statement probably elicited some very different reactions. For most of you out there (we hope), you’ve had this date circled on your calendars for weeks now, and have already got the perfect day planned right down to the last detail, while others undoubtably are panicking at the prospect of  having only five days to throw something together.
