Snowglobe Music Festival 2011 Official Recap (Video) : Incredible Must See Video Edit

So you guys probably remember either going or seeing us talk about Snow Globe Music Festival, the very cool new festival that we sponsored that took part in Lake Tahoe, CA on New Year’s weekend. The festival featured a huge stack of artists from Pretty Lights and Bassnectar to Childish Gambino and Theolphilus London. It was from the same people who brought you the other winter festival Snow Ball in Vail, and they know how to create a really great party. With the rise in popularity of electronic music, you see a lot more DJ’s and electronic acts filling up festivals, which is great, but it’s also very needed to keep a good balance of other music like hip hop, jam, or indie to create a more balanced time… The video really shows the balance of the festival which took in over 30,000 people, as well as the highs and lows of the festivals, from the care free mornings to the raging bass filled nights.

This video was done by Cinesthetics, the crew that’s done our Wolfgang Gartner in Boulder, 2 Night Zeds Dead Run, and Avicii at Red Rocks videos, just to name a few. We love his work so were stoked to see what he came up with for this festival. This end result is possibly one of the best concert / festival recaps I’ve ever seen. It feel like watching a movie, as it shifts from timelapses of the scenery and setup of the stage, to the journey to and from the festival grounds, and everywhere in between. It let’s those who couldn’t make it live a piece of it. Turn on HD, let it load, full screen, enjoy! Also I was lucky enough to throw down a set at this year’s festival, (see my cameo complete with TSIS sticker at 1:32)

Dirt Nasty – 1980 : Must Hear Outrageous Hip Hop Song + Music Video + Remix [EXPLICIT] : Also Details on Malibu Event “Dirty Shwasted Love”

Alright a ton of you already have know about this guy for years, but for those unaware, I’d like to introduce you to Dirt Nasty, an outrageous rapper from the Bay Area in California. The only way to explain his style of rapping, is that it’s almost got a little Dave Chappelle influence, and I say that in the best way possible. He’s a sick rapper, with a comical swag unlike any I’ve ever heard. This track and music video “1980″ is hilarious, and so catchy, by the end of it you’ll be dancing and singing along, no matter if your appalled or not. It doesn’t sound like anything I’ve ever heard, it’s hilariously awesome. Enjoy!

Tarik – Know Her Name (Music Video) : Chill Hip Hop Song + Video

Today I’ve got a new music video for a chilled out track from Tarik, the Brooklyn based rapper. It’s off his T.R.I.G.S. Mixtape, which featured one of my favorite tracks of his  ‘Weatherman’. He’s a newcomer who’s got a mellow style the combines some singing and rapping, for a great blend. This track has a great mixture of his singing and rapping. It’s got chill chorus that works well with a acoustic guitar powered beat that has  summer vibe. The video is great done by Jon Kilmer. Check it out, chill, enjoy!

Pretty Lights – We Must Go On : Must Hear New Electronic / Hip Hop Single + Video

It still blows my mind how big Pretty Lights has gotten in the few years, and for all the right reasons. You’ve heard his amazing albums, all given away for free, and some of his epic remixes. His last single that he put out ‘I Know the Truth’ sent his listeners thinking he was going in a more bass fueled heavier direction, well today we hear that he’s still maintaining his downtempo side. This track ‘We Must Go On’ reminds me of his earlier stuff with the sample based vibe. Now I know Derek has been working with a ton of musicians throughout the country, so the samples used in the track are most likely recorded instead of taken from old vinyl. I love the PL vibe that shines through every track, it’s almost electronic music with a hip hop vibe. This track comes complete with a new video as well filmed and edited by Derek and girlfriend Krystle. Check it out, chill, enjoy!

Logic – Young Sinatra III (Music Video) : Must Hear New Hip Hop Song + Video [TSIS PREMIERE]

Today I’ve got the latest brand new single from Logic, the amazingly talented newcomer who dropped my favorite mixtape from last year, Young Sinatra. I couldn’t wait to hear some new Logic, and this new track Young Sinatra III is defintely worth that wait. Following up Young Sinatra II (also posted below) this track has got a great beat, and some insane lyricism from Logic like always. I love how he talks about real shit that makes you wanna keep listening, rather then most mindless lyrics in most rap songs. Logic said once the video gets a certain amount of downloads he’ll send us the mp3 to throw out. This post got updated with the mp3, download and listen everywhere. Enjoy!

Rockie Fresh – How We Do Ft. King Louie (Music Video) : Chill Hip Hop Song With Sick Music Video

Today I’ve got another laid back track from Rockie Fresh. It’s off his upcoming Driving 88 mixtape that we’re sponsoring that’s coming out January 23rd This track continues to show Rockie’s chilled out flow. Can’t stop thinking about the A$AP Rocky comparison. This song comes with a video with some great editing, and then showing Rockie running from a guy in mask then encountering a DeLorean. It’s pretty epic DeLorean scene. Check it out, chill, enjoy!

Rusko – Somebody To Love (Music Video) : New Must Hear Dubstep Track + Video

I was stoked to see a new Rusko track complete with video, but didn’t know what to expect. Some of his more recent tracks like Everyday had a far more melodic trance feel to them, so wasn’t sure if he was gonna go heavy ver melodic. Well this track shows that you can do both, it’s got his new mature melodic almost trance sound, mixed with his signature Rusko bass crunch. The video follows an elderly couple as they find true love at a Rusko show, complete with light shows, ‘Wake the Fuck Up’ shirts, and all. Enjoy the comical video and epic new track. It comes out Jan 24th. Enjoy!

Azad Right – Spiderwebs (Music Video) + Better Days: Chill Hip Hop Songs with Video

Today I’ve got two sick chilled out hip hop tracks from LA based Azad Right. He’s got a very unique sounding mellow flow. It’s not the stoned Wiz Khalifa kind of chill, but his own clever style. The music video above is for his song Spiderwebs, which has a very catchy female vocal sample and piano line. It’s got a eerie tone, then Azad comes in with his flow setting the song off. I don’t typically like songs talking about love, but this one works surprisingly well. Then the second Better Days is a newer single that’s got another sick beat, with a very cool sample. Check em both out, chill, Enjoy!

Sol – 2020 (Music Video) : Must Hear Chill Refreshing Hip Hop

Today I’ve got another refreshing glass of North Western hip hop from the artist Sol. We just featured his Stage Dive track and it was one of the coolest, chillest sounding hip hop tracks I had heard in awhile, and this follows the same pattern that fellow seatlle based Macklemore and Ryan Lewis do so well. It’s got  a great live instrument hip hop beat, then Sol spitting some real words, with some real meaning. He’s one of the few rappers out there actually speaking on some stuff that makes you think a little. Check it out, stay tuned for the album getting released January 20th. Enjoy!
