Symbiosis Gathering | Lineup | Tickets

Having missed his LIB 2014 appearance for Beats Antique, we’re wont to see Max Cooper this year at Symbiosis. Human was one of our favourite experimental albums of 2014; Cooper’s pioneering of 4D Sound and his striking Emergence live shows further attract us to the wondrous crossroads of music, art, and technology. While we’re unsure whether any of his large installations will make it to Oakdale, we’re certain he’ll play us off into quite the trip.

Aptly named London duo TENDER incite bedroom ardor simply and smoothly. A little dash of dysphoria via lyricism and drawn out synths and the deed is done.

TENDER – Armour

TENDER – Legion

Together, Steve Nalepa, Adam Freeland, and RY X are The Acid. They produce ambient and sulky electronica with wistful vocalizations. The result is music that gets deep into the brain in the best way possible. As a four-piece live experience, their sounds fly between soft and wispy to loud and gritty; like a cross between a dim warehouse rave and a moody indie show.

The Acid – Basic Instinct

The Acid – Tumbling Lights

The Acid – Ra

One Tribe | Tickets

Advertised as a celebration of differences, One Tribe festival boasts quite the techno and house heavy lineup. The locale of Lake Perris, CA just adds to the allure. With yoga and water activities such as swimming, peddle boats, and paddle boarding soundtracked by some of the finest underground music of the past decade, we can only believe that One Tribe will step the bar up for weekender festivals of similar style. The event planners even decided to share a bundle of free music to help get listeners in the mood. The bundle features sounds from legends and fest-acts such as Gui Boratto, Jamie Jones, Tycho, Carl Craig, Doc Martin, and Damian Lazarus.

The 5-stage party is hosted by B3 and ID&T both of whom are involved in some of the largest events the world over (think: “How Sweet It Is” and “Amsterdam Music Festival”). Both companies were game changers when they stepped onto the scene and here’s to hoping they change it up again with One Tribe.

Leading into the weekend will be The Friday Night Experience hosted by the Desert Hearts crew. The fest runs through Saturday and closes early Sunday. Come prepared with comfortable clothing, water gear, and a good attitude because One Tribe is closing out Summer in style.

Gui Boratto – Boiler Room Sao Paolo

• Tickets • Event Info •

The Moony Habits crew has been slowly, but surely, making headway in the LA underground. With 3 shows already logged, Moony Habits is making quite the name for itself. This Thursday, they’re shaking it up again with Rhythm and Bass style that’s rather different from LA’s typical hip-hop and beats scene. Sans one DJ set, every act will be performing LIVE.

Soulection’s Chris McClenney with bring his whole band as he tickles the ivories; StarRo will have vocal support from Gavin Turek, Jarell Perry, Iman Europe, Lindsay Olsen as well as special guest drummer, David Myers Jr.; Moony Habits veteran Mike Gao will be performing his all new Polyplayground set; and A Sol Mechanic will perform live alongside a special secret guest. Astronautica will also be present to DJ the way she does (very well on the beats). Kuro will be playing the changeovers. Come prepared with your night-souls because things are going to get romantic.

HOW TO ENTER

Standard procedure. The contest ends at 12PM Thursday, August 6th!

Northern Nights

Nestled in NorCal’s Redwood expanse sits the boutique music festival that is Northern Nights. Part campers’ picturesque escape, part music aficionados’ river-dance party, and part earth-conscious permie gathering, this festival stands out in its efforts to impact positive change. With non-profits involved in almost all the inner workings of NNMF, it’s clear to see a greater purpose at play. That energy permeates as attendees can be seen picking up random trash and having meaningful conversations. While the fest-MC’s rather disingenuous comment of “at the end of the day, it’s just music” did little to share the message in a well-deserved light, the five-thousand present made it pretty clear that leaving the world a better place is the onus probandi.
