LUST featuring Wolfgang Gartner @ In The Venue 02.15 with...
The entire room sang along when Gartner dropped a remix of “Where’s Your Head At?” by Basement Jaxx. Personally, I was surprised Gartner didn’t play the entirety of his Weekend In America album (2011), but he put on a great show nonetheless. In the crowd, people went wild as foam LED glow sticks were tossed back and forth in the air in such masses it looked as if every concertgoer had at least two in hand. … read more

SXSW Film Festival: Leave The World Behind

Ellie Goulding @ BUKU Music & Art Project 03.21
Ellie’s stage presence was wild and almost theatrical as she bounced in between belting out high notes to the few thousand people on the ground and pounding on the drums with equal passion. Whether you’re listening to Ellie from a pair of headphones trying to get lost in a beautiful place or in a live setting, you’ll have the same feeling of isolated bliss. … read more
SLUG Mag Gets Too BUKU
There’s just something about New Orleans. I think it might be the Cajun spice in the Gumbo, but the city just exuberates this attitude that I can’t explain. In a conversation with a local cab driver on my way to the BUKU Music & Arts Project, I mentioned that the city almost feels like a separate country. … read more

“Female DJs” Shouldn’t be a Weird Term: an Interview with...

We talked with her about everything from her recent EP release to how she feels about being a working woman in the electronic world.

The Glitch Mob at The Complex 04.28 with Penthouse Penthouse,...
For what it’s worth, I’ve never been disappointed by their shows, whether it be in front of a few thousand in the Sahara Tent at Coachella or in front of fifteen people at a secluded Burning Man sound camp. The group always impresses and takes an electronic show to the next level by actually performing rather than simply DJ’ing to a room full of people. … read more
2014 Utah Arts Festival: Sunday 06.29 with Zodiac Empire, Watches,...
This year’s Utah Arts Festival was rad!!! No, it really was. After skipping out on the last few years to do absolutely nothing I finally decided to check it out again when the opportunity came up for this assignment. What was really impressive was the amount of entertainment available that didn’t require me to spend a small fortune buying pretty things for my apartment. Aside from music, the 6+ stages offered everything from local comedy shows to beatboxing to children’s theatre. … read more
