The Glitch Mob at The Complex 04.28 with Penthouse Penthouse,...
For what it’s worth, I’ve never been disappointed by their shows, whether it be in front of a few thousand in the Sahara Tent at Coachella or in front of fifteen people at a secluded Burning Man sound camp. The group always impresses and takes an electronic show to the next level by actually performing rather than simply DJ’ing to a room full of people. … read more
2014 Utah Arts Festival: Sunday 06.29 with Zodiac Empire, Watches,...
This year’s Utah Arts Festival was rad!!! No, it really was. After skipping out on the last few years to do absolutely nothing I finally decided to check it out again when the opportunity came up for this assignment. What was really impressive was the amount of entertainment available that didn’t require me to spend a small fortune buying pretty things for my apartment. Aside from music, the 6+ stages offered everything from local comedy shows to beatboxing to children’s theatre. … read more

Porter Robinson @ The Great Saltair 09.05 with Lemaitre, Giraffage
If I were to juxtapose the energy and emotion coming from the entire room during this show with any electronic show I’ve been to in the last year, I’d say that the majority of the fans are starting to crave a more heartfelt and artistic side of an industry almost always labeled as “party music.” Robinson showed in two short hours that you can put emotion into a rave. … read more

Dan Deacon @ Urban Lounge 05.10 with Prince Rama, Ben...
What a weird night. I joined a cult (under the name Kanye’s Pet—my DJ name) that worships a bottle of soap and watched a girl make out with a picture of a Nascar driver onstage. … read more
New World Presents: Creating A New World
About a year ago, a friend of mine invited me to a new party at Photo Collective Studios called Deep Space, hosted by a group of friends who called themselves New World Presents—college-age burners with a vision to create a fulfilling and inspiring environment for themselves and their peers to enjoy. What I arrived at
