Holland is a man of many projects, including The Quantic Soul Orchestra, The Limp Twins, Quantic and his Combo Barbaro, as well as numerous one on one collaborations. His latest is called Quantic Presents The Western Transient, and the record, A New Constellation. At seconds under the 3/4 hour mark, the record delivers ten locations for his dream jazz vacation, and is recorded with artists and performers handpicked by the maestro. From balmy Caribbean, to melodic 70’s, A New Constellation is a warm and snuggly love letter to jazz and soul music, with just enough “Quantic” thrown in.Clark Lamson · Aug 6, 2015FeaturesThe Evolution of Derek Smith: Pretty Lights Still ShiningFort Collins, Colorado native Derek Smith, better known as Pretty Lights, started making beats in high school, but eventually found himself at the forefront of the electronic music scene.Kyle Eustice · Aug 3, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Kurt Vile — Pretty PimpinOf all the musical instruments iconic to American music, the paramount would be the guitar. Although blues music originally came in the form of African spirituals and hymnals, it was changed forever when it met it’s six stringed soul mate. Rock n’ roll, arguably the most American genre there is, was built around the glistening tones of the 1957 Gibson ES-350 T. For Kurt Vile, Pennsylvania born indie rocker, the guitar is both the means and the end.Clark Lamson · Jul 30, 2015FeaturesIt’s Just Who We Are: The Burroughs Unveil Their Live Album Sweaty Greeley Soul“Everything from the groove that you’re in, to the words that you say, to the melodies you sing is suppose to come from right here,” Johnny Burroughs says using both open faced…Rose Hedberg · Jul 28, 2015MusicAlbum Review: Currency of Man — Melody GardotPhiladelphia based singer/songwriter/siren Melody Gardot hasn’t known many times in her life without music.Clark Lamson · Jul 28, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Ben Folds — Phone In a Pool / Capable of AnythingIt’s been a long time since I was first introduced to the sonorous sounds of Ben Folds, but he’s still making music. This week, Folds released some of the first new material since his 2008 record, Way To Normal, which was followed with a college a-capella record, and a compilation album. The two singles, titled “Phone in a Pool” and “Capable of Anything” instantly remind me of what I found so appealing as a rolly-polly youngster, and what I still find appealing as a, well, rolly-polly not-so-youngster.Clark Lamson · Jul 23, 2015FeaturesKyle Hollingsworth Band: Q&A With The Man Behind The CheeseKyle Hollingsworth is famously known as the keyboardist for The String Cheese Incident and his own “SCide project,” The Kyle Hollingsworth Band.Mark Rudolph · Jul 22, 2015MusicLola Black’s Borracho Bash at Summit Music Hall106.7 KBPI and Jagermeister present Lola Black’s Borracho Bash at the Summit Music Hall in Denver.

Last year’s Renegades of Rhythm Tour with DJ Shadow featured albums pulled strictly from Afrika Bambaataa’s collection, which is currently archived at Cornell University. The performance was nothing short of mind-blowing. From the Shaft in Africa soundtrack and Isaac Hayes to Chicago Gangsters and even Jurassic 5 (which Macfadden couldn’t believe Bambaataa had), the magical duo took the audience on a trip through some of the best eras of soul, funk, disco, hip-hop and more.Kyle Eustice · Jul 18, 2015MusicAlbum Review: Panama – Always EPAs electronic music continues to fill the market, it’s becoming easier with each new act to separate the wheat from the chaff.Christopher Sheridan · Jul 18, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Ezra Furman — Perpetual Motion PeopleFrenetic and shaky, Furman delivers a parcel of tunes so jam packed of intention it’s hard not to break down in some punk rock convulsion, hunched over your air piano, banging out imaginary chords. While not as feverishly paced as his usual fare, “Lousy Connection,” a lead single, lays the toothy lyrical musings over a groovy doo-wop, shining light on Furman’s sensitive side.Clark Lamson · Jul 16, 2015FeaturesIn The Whale at the Aggie TheatreBandWagon Magazine Presents In The Whale with Slow Caves, American Blackout and Lion Drome at the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins.Dylan Adams · Jul 12, 2015FeaturesMorgan Heritage with special guests at Aggie TheatreMorgan Heritage with special guests Hypnotic Vibes, Apex Vibe, Roots Massive and Spellbinder at the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins.Dylan Adams · Jul 12, 2015FeaturesTails From The Trails With In The WhaleIt wasn’t always this way though. In the Whale got their start after Valdez recorded an acoustic EP titled Songs About You and drummer Eric Riley’s previous project dissolved.

The record kicks off with “Sirens II,” which paints the picture of the slow and unwitting seduction of our main character. With a bossy beat, and a bass line some of you might recognize from Jay-z’s “Picasso Baby,” it’s the perfect setting for the sensual jaunt that is to come.Clark Lamson · Jul 6, 2015MusicAlbum Review: Django and Jimmie— Merle Haggard and Willie NelsonThough we’d all like to believe that each inspired sound that comes from our favorite artists are completely original, the fact is that even our heroes have influences.Clark Lamson · Jul 2, 2015
