My first trip to Texas for this world renowned festival was better than I could have ever imagined. Where to begin? The barbeque? The surprises? The free alcohol? Well first off, it’s not a “music festival” in the same way most of us are familiar with the term. No big fields. No main stage. No ticket necessary. Just so long as you’re ready for an adventure; ready to walk around to the hundreds of restaurants, venues, and bars of downtown Austin, Texas, you are in for a treat. Check after the jump for everything you’d want to know about SXSW and the highlights of 2013.

What started out as an unexpected trip, turned out to be one of the best adventures of my life. For those who are new, I kind of like Breakbot. A lot. He’s not only a big inspiration, but one of the most well respected DJs and revered producers in the world. The initial plan was to catch him at the first of his SoCal tour dates in Hollywood on Friday. One sold out show, rushed group of friends, empty stomach, and bottle service later; I’m leaving the show early. Long story short, of course. I’ll spare you. Shout out to Bondax, though! I do remember them. Anyway, I woke up devastated. Depite having a busy Saturday in LA, I rendezvoused south bound with some of the crew. Arriving at the hidden venue moments before Breakbot’s midnight settime gave me a sense of accomplishment. Little did I know that after walking through those doors, I was about to get much more than I missed. Check after the jump for more on the night and music!

AMTRAC | Bit Funk
After our first night in the heart of Hollywood last week, it seems all is well on the horizon. We were just anxious to finally get started! With each passing week, we strive to tighten all the loose bolts; creating the perfect night. It’s all about the experience with the Polaroid Thursdays. Well our quest to perfection wouldn’t be complete without quality talent. That’s why for our second show we’ve got debatably our best lineup: Amtrac & Bit Funk. I had the pleasure of finally catching Amtrac throw down a high energy set at SXSW. Meeting him shortly thereafter in the pit for Disclosure only heightened my respect for this Florida native. Bit Funk will set the tone early with his grooving basslines and dream like records.
Check after the jump for more music and your chance to win one of five tickets
to our followup event of the series! Stream and download Amtrac’s EP for FREE here.

Breakbot | Bondax | Private Label
Our whole crew has been waiting for this since we first caught wind of Breakbot heading stateside. I’d be lying if I said we were waiting patiently…If the sole fact that Breakbot playing wasn’t enough to coax you to buy a ticket early, surely Bondax and Irfane did it, right? No, you say? What were you thinking! You weren’t, were you? We want to help. Private Label Fridays ends their second season with its best night yet! Bondax is one of the world’s most sought after underground duos, and Irfane is that soulful voice you hear on many of Breakbot’s biggest tracks. This is going to be a hell of an occasion.
Check after the jump to see how you and a friend could find your way in on Friday. Otherwise there will be a VERY limited amount of tickets at the door, so get there early.

It’s been awhile since we’ve done an interview, because we only do it with artists we truly believe in. Artists that step off the beaten path and create something universal. A sound that anyone with an open mind can appreciate. As you can imagine these artists are few and far between. Harley Streten (AKA Flume) took a minute to catch up with us while in the midst of a tour ping-ponging across the U.S. Check after the jump about his new life as a Platinum selling recording artist.
See everyone at Flume’s SOLD OUT show by IHEARTCOMIX in Los Angeles! WOO!
