AkiMi – ChiLL Tempo <3

Posted on April 28, 2015 | Comments Off on AkiMi – ChiLL Tempo <3

This new mix from Vancouver’s own AkiMi takes you through the Silk Road of deep space, layering Eastern instrumentals with seductive vocals in an astral evocation of vibrating sound.

Richelle Akimi Yoshida is the quintessential dreamer, the gypsy spin weaver. This elegant purveyor of the ethereal mix fuses a deep bass fixation with contemplative & elevating sensibilities. Richelle’s initial roots are in the Kootenays, where she pulled her original influences from Shambhala’s early years, spurred on by sets from female artists like Lion-S & Ana Sia. Her intrinsic love of underground dance music has driven her to procure her own set of turntables, setting out to deliver a unique dose of bass therapy in both club & festival environments.

Catch her Thursday set at this year’s Shambhala Music Festival at the Living Room stage, and don’t forget to pick up your free downloads on her Soundcloud.

Bass Coast 2015

Bass Coast 2015 – click to enlarge

Have you guys seen Bass Coast’s bangin’ line-up for this year? It is the gathering of BC’s local electro talent. For anyone who didn’t get a chance to attend last year’s annual celebration of art & music in beautiful Merritt, BC, you can get a sense of the vibe in my recap here. Since doing my BC festival circuit in the summer of 2014 I’ve had a few people ask me what festivals I consider essential… Bass Coast tops the list every time. Capping its attendance at 3000 people, Bass Coast offers a mature and intimate atmosphere, with world-class audio/visuals and smooth logistics to boot. Camp by your car and cool down in the trickling river that runs through the venue, a sunny oasis just 2 1/2 hours out of Vancity. Join forces with any of the open & expressive attendees. Soak in the sun with a cold-pressed juice or laze about in a hammock among the trees… the choice is yours. See you there!

The Librarian – Zeal

Posted on April 13, 2015 | Comments Off on The Librarian – Zeal

Float through deep space among melodious vocals and stumbling synths in the interplanetary stroll that is the Librarian’s most recent release. Andrea Graham is local to Squamish BC, and might be best known as the co-founder of Bass Coast Music Festival, which will be taking place in Merritt for the third year this July. Bass Coast showcases both local and international talent in an “an eclectic offering of emerging electronic music, art, ideas, and technology”. Not interested in waiting until July to hear the Librarian live? You can find her every Tuesday at Maxx Fish in Whistler, along with fellow Squamish-native Mat the Alien.
