I’ve read time and time again that art is a reflection of humanity and our time. After 30 years on this planet I’ve realized that protests are truly one the greatest masterpieces of human creation. Protest reflects humanity: our rage, our hunger, and our inspiration for change. There are many different ways to protest, but […]

I’m a recent Colorado transplant, like most of us that now call this place home. Austin’s close-knit music community wasn’t easy to leave, and I have been craving a recreation of that kind of connection since I got here. Therefore, I was really excited to discover that ARISE Festival is taking place in just a […]

Rising Appalachia, comprised of sisters Leah and Chloe, do more than make incredibly beautiful world-folk soul music; the duo also utilizes their platform to create social awareness. Their latest release “Medicine” is a call-to-action to support the voices and work of healers, herbalists and teachers who use plant-based medicine as a tool for enlightenment and […]

[Coverage by: Tai C and Jacki Moon] We experienced the magic of infinite realms through the Unified Field Theory in full fruition at Sonic Bloom last weekend, and were left exponentially inspired. For those unfamiliar, Sonic Bloom is created in the likeness of the Unified Field Theory; this theory’s principles enacted upon is what makes it Colorado’s premier boutique festival. […]

Festival season can result in a sore back due to spending countless hours on the road, dancing until the sun comes up, and only finding time to sleep in cramped cars, airplanes and tents. Downward Facing Dog (Sanskrit: Adho Mukha Svanasana) is an active pose that can greatly decrease such back pain by strengthening the entire back and […]

I have read time and time again that humans store emotional tension in their hips, which is probably why Pigeon is one of my favorite yoga poses. As a highly emotional creature, I find a serene freedom within the deep hip-opener known as Pigeon Pose. I’ve recently been experiencing some emotional intensity with the onset […]

The talented trio combined their superpowers to craft a distinctively addicting track entitled “Lost & Found”, which was the first released track of anticipated full CD Pushing Through the Pavement.

If you’re anything like me, life seems like one big balancing act. Between overnight road-trips to festivals, dancing to my favorite producers until early morning hours, and writing about all the antics in between, sufficient time to practice yoga can seem a little unrealistic. Truth be told, most of us don’t have several hours a […]

Resonant Frequency is the combined kinetic energy of four electro-soul producers: Diamond Cuts (Vincent Seidl), Lando (Landone Reichle), Local Color (Ben Slade) and Focal Point (Preston Flynn). The future-funk quartet decided to combine their livetronica music production talent last November when they played the same house party. “At first we planned on touring together as […]

Benji Vaughan, a legend of Shpongle’s label Twisted Records, is one of those kinetic producers with the ability to do it all. The London-based producer has crafted music on many ends of the electronic spectrum under different alter egos: Younger Brother (often with Simon Posford), Prometheus, and The Zap. Benji’s latest masterpiece Even Tundra was […]
