    WE’RE FESTIVAL VETERANS Getting value for money from your festival branding activity requires research, planning, creativity, and an appreciation that you’re venturing into an environment where brands can be welcomed, tolerated, ignored or vilified. We have a long history of helping clients win cut through at festivals around the world, these include: R ECOVE FESTIVALS NOT RIGHT FOR YOU? THINK AGAIN With younger festival goers increasingly priced out of the game, today’s festival audience largely comprises Millenials, people in their thirties. This also explains the increasing number of festivals catering for families, cultural, literary and culinary enthusiasts. It also means an opening of the way for brands that previously might have never thought about investing in a festival. And a growing number are realising this is an environment that can yield results; there’s a lot more to festivals than mud, booze, rock and roll.

  • Sound for Humanity April 28–29, 2021
    Blacktronika: Sound for Humanity April 28–29, 2021 ARTIST STATEMENTS Lisa Vazquez Artist Statement Sound and music is a way to connect to those from any background and convey emotion. When curating a song or a set such as this, I think about conveying pure emotion. That’s how I chose my samples or create my melodic layers and vocals...I want to feel something and hopefully make the audience feel something too. Biography Lisa Vazquez is an Argentine-bred, Oregon-born Wonder Woman of her craft. Self proclaimed lab rat, beat nerd and analog enthusiast. A Hip Hip / Soul Producer, Vocalist and Multi - Instrumentalist that is always pushing the boundaries within the music. Think RJD2 meets RZA meets Lauryn Hill. Before the world shut down Lisa was continuing booking festivals, shows and workshops around the globe. Drawing from Jazz and various world musical influences, she creates textured rhythms with her MPC and layers sultry vocals layers with a looper before she sings or raps over the final creation. Truly a unique live performance. Currently she is working on a full length album and will go back to international touring once travel allows. In the meantime you can find her on IG or FB @lisavazquemusic or YouTube with her Beatmaking Series Flip it Friday. Teaching music production has also become her passion beyond performance and sound design. King Britt x kalechi agwuncha Artist Statement King Britt’s performance is a sonic response to many events that have effected him over the past year. A bit dark but finding light within it, each sound adds to the healing process.

  • Hypeade Lizzo Släpper Debutalbum – ”Cuz I Love You” Ute Nu!
    Lizzo - Cuz I Love You 2019-04-23 16:43 CEST Hypeade Lizzo släpper debutalbum – ”Cuz I Love You” ute nu! Den 19 april släppte den redan hyllade amerikanska artisten och flöjtspelande Lizzo sitt debutalbum ”Cuz I Love You”, på albumet finns även de tidigare släppta låtarna ”Juice”, ”Cuz I Love You” och ”Tempo (feat. Missy Elliot)”. I början av 2019 släppte 30-åriga Lizzo från Minneapolis den funkdoftande singeln ”Juice” som var hennes poppigaste låt hittills. Med rötter i hiphopen har Lizzo utvecklat ett eget retroinspirerat sound som andas soul, funk och pop. Hennes låttexter handlar om att må bra bra i och älska sig själv, och hitlåten "Juice" är bara ett av flera exempel på detta. “Four days into the new year, Lizzo released the first great song of 2019. The Minneapolis singer-rapper-flautist specializes in propulsive self-empowerment anthems — feel-good songs about feeling good about yourself — and ‘Juice’ may be her finest yet, a near-perfect retro-funk nugget that would have felt just right on a mirror-balled dance floor in 1982… If life were fair, (‘Juice’) would be as big as ‘Uptown Funk.’” – Rolling Stone “We’re just four days into January and we’ve got the best song of the year, and it just won’t get topped.” – British GQ Den 22 april började Lizzo sin första del av ”Cuz I Love You Too” turnén där samtliga spelningar redan är utsålda. Den 18 juli påbörjar Lizzo sin andra del av turnén ”Cuz I Love You Too” i Nordamerika och fram till dess kommer Lizzo att uppträda på musikfestivaler runt om i USA och Europa, nyligen uppträdde hon på Coachella i Kalifornien.
