Battle 15 - The Championship: Redhanded vs. Ultimate Band

Here it is, folks! It all comes down to this final battle between Redhanded and Ultimate Band. This time, we pulled out all the stops. There are practically no rules or restrictions on this battle. The only thing we asked of the producers was that they don't use any samples that we wouldn't be able to clear for a vinyl release. So, now it's your turn to listen to the tracks and vote on your favorite. Remember, the the winner of the public poll receives 2 votes, where each of the judges can only cast one vote.

Sonic Bloom 2013 Preview

 

 Sonic Bloom 2013 is just around the corner and year 8 is slated to blow Georgetown, CO right off Clear Creek. The boutique festival hosts popular heavy hitters as well as lesser-known rising stars including plenty of local Colorado talent.

 After glancing at the line-up, you might think patrons will experience strictly electronic DJ’s, but look a little closer and you’ll notice groups like The Werks, Tatanka, SunSquabi, and Ableminds will be bringing analog instruments to the stage to change the flavor.

 Sonic Bloom recently released the full 4-day schedule just a week and a half out from blast off, keeping everyone on the edge of their seat in anticipation. Thursday jumps off with Phuturprimative and Minnesota handling the main stage and the folks from Silent Frisco taking it home on the late night with the well know “silent disco” theme. Friday graces attendees with a full day of music including SCI’s Michael Travis performing his first live DJ set. Wick-It The Instigator will crush fans with his supreme mash-up style and Opiuo brings funky styling to close out the main stage. Saturday is jam packed with exciting artists. The main stage will definitely be smoking all day long with highlight artists such as Bluetech, hometown heroes Zilla, and the Polish Ambassador. Other notables on Saturday include Orchard Lounge, Random Rab, and newcomers Intergalactic Fantasy Safari. Closing out the main stage on Sunday, fans will enjoy seeing the Sonic Bloom Orchestra featuring members of some of their favorite acts from the weekend, making it essential to stay through the end.

 Go ahead and request off work for the following Monday, because we all know you’re going to need some decompression after this rager. Go big or go home Colorado!

Help G.E.D. Soul Records Kickstart 3 New Albums

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gedsoulrecords/ged-soul-records-3-new-albums-from-3-soul-artists

Our homies at G.E.D Soul Records have just launched their epic Kickstarter project to fund 3 new records. These albums from the Coolin' System, DeRobert and the Half-Truths, and A.J. and the Jiggawatts are already finished and just waiting to be released. We are very excited to share this project with you as we are big fans of what these folks in middle Tennessee are doing. We used many of their vinyls to create samples for our currently on-going Battle of the Beats competition. It's also fair to say that their activities were a big inspiration for starting our own vinyl focused record label, Nematode Records.

We have until Monday, June 24th to help them raise $15,000. Let's do this Winslows!
