The energy from the crowd was so intense I don’t remember anyone standing still during their performance!   If they were it was to share a picture or video of the group. The production set up and graphics were off the chain!   MSTRKRFT even dropped a few DUB Step tracks which sent the crowd in to a frenzy when that bass line dropped!   The sound was epic.   The bass felt like it was lifting me off of my feet!   When the bass hit for lack of a better term,  it was melting faces!!
Insomniac along with Program Council, were right on the money with this event. Can’t wait to see what they are doing next!!

Here is a Video from Altitude, Ft. Vinnie Maniscalcos’ joint Criminal Frequencies (Gangster bass).

Thanks to our sponsors Euphonic Conceptions, Pretty Lights Music, Grassroots, the Untz, Got Bass Music, the Rooster, the Onion, Souls in Action, MarchOne Music, ThisSongIsSick.com, and the Colorado Nightlife Network !!

This epic lineup is ready to give Boulder a much-needed shake-up before finals hit !!

Ranging from hip-hop to funk, glitch and more, you’ll see common themes: over-the-top lighting and visuals, rumbling BASS and the biggest dance party to hit BOULDER in years !

MSTRKRFT is the project of Toronto musician Jesse F. Keeler and studio partner Al-P, two guys that’ll mix dance music with any other genre out there with precision and finesse. Their style could be described in a word: danceable. Sputnik Music writes, “Enter MSTRKRFT, a shit-hot addition to the global community of sonic warriors currently smashing down boundaries of house, hip-hop, grime, electro and all kinds of electronic experimentation.”

Pretty Lights Music family member and inspiration to Derek Vincent Smith, Slovenian producer Gramatik found a long time ago that blending hip-hop beats and vocals with live instrumentation was way more interesting to the eardrums than just computerized beats. His first album, Beatz & Pieces, Vol. 1, was released last July and he’s been nominated for “Best Chill Out Artist” and “Best Chill Out Track” at the 2010 Beatport Music Awards.

Detroit’s own GRiZ is a producer who takes the top in hip hop and rock to make his own remixes that fall into an uncategorized clash of genres, from funk to glitch. Ethan Baer from SubSynthesis.com has said, “A tremendously passionate and soulful producer, GriZ has a peerless knack for creating profoundly engaging melodies to offset the presence of his phenomenally designed bass.”

Zion I are well-known for their collaborations with Living Legends, The Grouch, Eligh, Blackalicious, and more. The hip hop duo consists of exploding producer DJ Amp Live and MC Zumbi, and their usage of live instrumentation and samples stretches all the way back to the late 90s. With fluid raps and a unique style of mixing, Zion I has been known to “get it hotter than a dance horchata,” making them a favorite among hip hop enthusiasts.

Robotic Pirate Monkey is a three-piece home-grown favorite that has splashed onto some of the larger stages in the area and are blowing up amongst not only the Boulder crowd but nationwide! CU students may remember the trio from their opening spot for Big Gigantic on Farrand Field for the annual New Student Welcome Festival.

Last weekend Vinnie and I had the opportunity to go to the 2012 Snowball music festival. It was the coolest and most unique music festival that i’ve ever been able to go to. It was a great mix of music and people brought together to party and listen to live music in the snow capped Vail mountains.
The Festival is held in Avon, Colorado. This is only the second year of having the festival and it has already grown to massive proportions. The artists on the lineup ranged anywhere from jam bands to indie rock bands to electro-house to dubstep and everything in-between. I would highly suggest attending this festival if you never have, its for sure a one of a kind festival experience.

Since there were so many awesome artists that played, im not going to go in detail on everyone’s sets. Instead well include some of the best free downloads from our favorite artists from the festival. Hope you all enjoy, Cheers !

Last week (4/20/11) I released my third free album to the public. “Collective Human Consciousness” is the piece of art that i have been working on for the past 6 months. The music from this album will take you on a psychedelic journey through your deepest human thoughts and emotions through creative expression. These tracks may not be your typical “Brostep” bangers, but it will certainly satisfy those with a hunger for bass heavy melodic music.
Thanks for everyones support thus far, i couldn’t have done any of this without the love and support from the family and friends of Got Bass Music (yes, that means ALL of you :])

You can download the full album here or download the tracks individually on my Soundcloud

Expect to see tons of new material coming from me in the coming months!
Much love,

If you know anything about Colorado you know that we take our “medication” very seriously. Every year thousands of people meet up at the Capitol in Denver and the Norlin Quad in Boulder to blaze up promptly at 4:20pm. Seriously, if you are even 15 minutes late you probably missed the fiasco. Here’s some tunes to get you in the mood.

Fresh out of Boulder, CO, these two badmen have been taking Colorado to the next level with their exclusive song selection including originals and remixes of their own.

His eclectic style incorporates everything, from house music to glitch hop, and is guaranteed to cause a raging dance party.

Also playing is Balthazar Ely, who was mentioned in an earlier post about his “Nerd Skank” EP which you can download for free. His unique sound draws from a variety of different influences of dubstep and bass music, and is often characterized by his melodic soundscapes intertwining with massive basslines.

The lineup of music will keep things interesting the whole night since everybody has something different to offer. Expect to hear lots of new songs that have been in the works from these artists. With Got Bass sponsoring the event, this party will most deffinitly be a raging!

After months of hard work, im pleased to present to you my brand new free LP, Triangles. Triangles is definitely a genre bending collection of music. Since my last LP (The Space Man) i’ve been completely infatuated with a sound i’ve been creating, Space-Hop. Space-Hop is a blend of lots of styles including Hip-Hop, Funk, IDM, Glitch, Dubstep, and many more.
“Triangles” is all about the many patterns and in our world, the meanings behind them, and the connection that has to Us. It was created to give the listener a unique experience that will take your mind on a journey through the deepest parts of space & time.
Please feel free to share this on your blog, facebook, website, or any other means of sharing. Support the free music movement and download this Album!

thanks : )

On Friday, November 19th, the party people of Boulder turned out in numbers to rock out to the auto-tune tinged raps of Boston-based Sam Adams, who has skyrocketed into popularity with his energetic live performance and his lyrics that have co-eds screaming “Sammy!!!” until the end of the night. The Fox was packed to capacity in anticipation of the crazy night that would follow.

Before the show turned to Sam Adams, the crowd was greeted by the thissongissick.com DJ group, Sorry For Partying, and even early on in the night, the dance floor of the Fox was hopping to remixes of their favorite electro bangers, bass heavy dubstep drops with rap lyrics mixed in over it. This was the first time that I had caught a Sorry For Partying show and it certainly won’t be the last. The DJ group got the crowd jumpin at the bit for Sam to finally come on stage.

When Sam Adams first spoke into the microphone on stage, the whole crowd went nuts as the first beat hit the speakers. He was accompanied not only by his DJ, but by a live drummer and a live keyboardist, which gave the show even more energy than the standard rap performance that I am used to seeing. Sam’s set was very diverse and the people of Boulder found themselves unable to sit still. Two of the highlights for me was his live rendition of his hit Boston Boy of his album of the same name, as well as a freestyle over Rusko’s “Woo Boost” which had the crowd going bonkers. Overall, Sam Adam’s electrifying performance was one for the Fox record books.
