Just over a week ago I helped produce a music festival: Alive! benefiting, We Are The Movement (https://www.facebook.com/wearethemovementLA) a non-profit organization using House music and percussion to mentor at risk youth in the community.

It. Was. Incredible. The support was amazing! So many performers were more than willing to donate their talents to this cause. GoGo Hoopstars, LA Sirenes, Harmonic Light, Fyre God, Dancing Fire, Darth Paul, Throwing Lights, The Machine.. AND A GIANT FREAKIN BALL PIT!!! It was an explosion of performance and ridickillus music!

Alive had pretty much every style electro music you’d want. Kicked off with a live band, Bullet Made Statues started us off with trippy psychedelic music to get everyone feelin weeeirrrrrd then Baaze came in and shook the warehouse with a super bass and dance mix that totally rocked my socks off. So good he played an impromptu second set! Epoch rises stormed in afterwards with some serious heavy grime, glitch and dubstep that drove the crowd crazy… I mean honestly, who remixes THE LION KING?! Shit was GOLLLLD!!!! (I can’t wait to hear what crazy shit they remix next.) It was definitely a hard set to follow but DJ Miss Dust was perfect; absolutely nailing a dance club set with an energy that drove the crowd nuts, all while hoopers and go-go dancers killed it on the second stage. Tristan Hendy, the keyboardist for Bullet Made Statues, opened for Patrick with a sweet house set and another spur of the moment guest appearance with Baaze, further hyping the crowd for what was to come next: Patrick Reza.

Obviously the house came down. The energy was wild and the air was crackling with fierce melodic dubstep (I think I saw a few angels hover over the stage with harps n shit… actually wait, we did have a Harpist there…) It was absolutely a magical experience where everyone was synchronized in harmony. It was the night of that huge rainstorm and that seemed to bond the crowd even more. So overwhelming and amazing!

We are definitely going to be throwing more underground events in the future. Like and follow Alive! to find out about our next one, because it will definitely be more on the exclusive side. (We kinda wanna break rules, soooo being too public isn’t conducive for that. ;))

Lucky for us, Epoch Rises released their set so if you missed it, you can kind of imagine how it went… just picture yourself in a sick warehouse covered in wall to wall gorgeous art, wacky performers surrounding you and a couple hundred people in costume and also that hot chick on stilts.
