The Dancing Dreamers with DJ Damashii Episode 16 Recording and Recap - Bloom 2 and HVLON, A Tribute to Avicii, and @cynicaloptimist's New Project, Electric Kids Dance Party!
Last night's episode was another huge success, thanks to all of you who tuned in and participated in the audience chat! In light of the recent news of Avicii's untimely passing, I decided to make the episode a tribute to the legendary DJ/producer. With the exception of the opening and closing tracks, every song I played last night was an Avicii song.
I started off the episode briefly recapping my experience at Bloom 2, a local EDM festival put together by Lights Out Live, one of Salt Lake City's bigger production companies. I then talked about how SLC's hottest new rising stars, HVLON, really stole the show at Bloom 2's ElectroLivin stage. It blew my mind that these guys, despite only having been together for 4 months, managed to pack the second stage with close to 300 people only an hour and a half after the doors opened that night! You can find out more about HVLON by checking out last week's episode of The Dancing Dreamers with DJ Damashii, when they came to the studio to be guests on the show!
After all the Bloom 2 business was done, I shifted into full-on Avicii tribute mode and began talking about how much he really impacted my life through his music. I read the statement from his publicist, which was released on Friday, well as the first statement from his family, which was released on Monday. Then I talked about how amazing his music is and how he really pioneered new sounds and feels in the EDM industry.
In the second hour, my friend Jake Strack, known on the Steem blockchain as the @cynicaloptimist, returned to the show to tell us about his new project, the Electric Kids Dance Party! It's a series of raves specifically set up for kids, which just had its first successful event last Friday, the 20th of April.
He talked about why he decided to create the raving experience for kids, what inspired him to really start setting things up, and how that first show turned out. He also went over the importance of setting up a safe space for kids to enjoy the same live EDM that the rest of us older ravers love, as well as how getting kids to start raving could really combat the negative stigma attached to raving, that everyone who raves just does a bunch of drugs and parties their asses off to forget about the world for a while.
I really believe that he is onto something great here with his raves for kids, so this is something you'll want to keep an eye out for, for sure! He invited anyone interested in finding out more to contact him through Facebook, so if this sounds like something you'd like to find out more about, please check out the Facebook page for the Electric Kids Dance Party!
