Papadosio w\/ Ott & The All Seeing-I, Opiuo, Dirtwire and The Malah @ RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A South Africa Event on 2016-05-07 17:30:00<\/i><\/p>\n

Formed in Athens, Ohio, Papadosdio has been creating a home at the forefront of live electronica for five years. With a sound defined by unexpected combinations, his five-piece has wowed crowds at clubs, theaters, and festivals across the country. The band's songwriting showcases improvisational interludes and refreshing vocal harmonies with an amplified message of transendence, unity and universal understanding. How hailing from Asheville, N.C., Papadosio's mission is clear: to combine eclectic musical traditions with modern electronica to stir the hear and fuel the mind.
Ott has been messing about with sound boxes every day for as long as he can remember. Having spent the \u201890s flitting between his day-job as a freelance studio engineer and long weekends under the stars at psychedelic trance parties, the obvious next step, as the millennium turned, was to create music of his own from the jumble of sounds which filled his head. <\/p>\n

After teaming up with Twisted Records, 2002 saw the release of the acclaimed \u2018Hallucinogen In Dub\u2019 album, followed in short order by his first solo effort, \u2018Blumenkraft\u2019 in 2003. 2008 saw the release of \u2018Skylon\u2019 and in 2011 the album \u2018Mir\u2019 was born. <\/p>\n

A pattern has formed: every four years or so an album coalesces from the chaos, heads out into the world and takes on a life of its own. 2015 is one of those years. <\/p>\n

Financed by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, Ott built a new studio, filled it with vintage sound-creation toys and locked the door, vowing not to emerge until a new record was born. The original 6 month deadline came and went but, a year after he started, the thing is finished. <\/p>\n

August 11th will see the release of Ott\u2019s latest studio album – details of which will emerge over the coming weeks.
Opiuo, the New Zealand producer who now calls Australia home; gained international recognition in 2010 with his single, \u201cRobo Booty\u201d and debut album, \u201cSlurp and Giggle\u201d which was nominated for Best Dance\/Electro Release at the Australian Independent Awards. Since then, Opiuo\u2019s unique take on electronic music has continued to capture the attention of fans around the world with tours through N. America, Europe, Israel, Asia, India, South Africa and AUS\/NZ. His music and remixes have reached the #1 position on Beatport and iTunes charts. Recently, he surpassed a million plays on his Soundcloud page and swept the 2013 UK Glitch-Hop Awards with 5 wins. Opiuo\u2019sremix credits span from world renown artists, Pretty Lights, Infected Mushroom, The Upbeats and KOAN Sound to the iconic popstar, Kimbra. With support from the music industry Opiuo has been able to put out releases through such labels as: OWSLA, Vision, Dim Mak, Warner Bros., Disney and Addictech Records. Live, he has shared the stage with some of EDM\u2019s best artists like Skrillex, Nero, Bassnectar, Moby, Pretty Lights, Rusko and The Glitch Mob to name a few. Whether he is equipped with drum machines and synths or performing 100% live, Opiuo fans never leave disappointed.
Dirtwire sits on the back porch of Americana\u2019s future, conjuring up a gris-gris of sound with an amalgamation of traditional instrumentation, world-beat percussion, and electronic soundscapes. Comprised of multi-instrumentalist David Satori (Beats Antique) and Evan Fraser (Hamsa Lila; Stellamara), each performance brings the audience to a mysterious crossroads at an imaginative and seductive moment in time. The result is a rebirth of Americana and beacon for a post-millennial return to downhome goodness.<\/p>\n

The Dirtwire duo met at the California Institute of the Arts while studying World Music Composition. Both members of other successful music projects \u2013 Satori as part of the sensational electronic dynamo group Beats Antique and Fraser at the helm of world groove bands Hamsa Lila and Stellamara \u2013 their unique chemistry led to a continued musical friendship throughout the years. In 2012 Satori and Fraser released the debut dirtwire album, attracting everyone from electronic dance junkies to traditional world and roots music toe-tappers. With their first self-titled release, Dirtwire was introduced to the world and a new family was founded.<\/p>\n

Following their 2012 debut, an unlikely meeting with Kongar ol Ondar in San Francisco led to the creation of their second release, the Ondar EP, featuring the Genghis blues legend on vocals along with remixes by Dimond Saints and 310 that intertwined the sounds of tuvan throat singing with organic world beats with a tribal dance floor rhythm. Later that year, The Carrier EP was born featuring vocals by Rising Appalachia in the stand-out single, \u201cThe Well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Satori and Fraser get down as Dirtwire at select theater and festival stages across the US and have appeared at festivals including Coachella, Sonic Bloom, Lucidity, Lightning in a Bottle, Rootwire, Oregon Country Fair, Symbiosis + more.

Denver, CO based live-electronic trio, The Malah, have been captivating ears across the country with their organic, electro grooves since 2003. Having recently relocated to the burgeoning music scene in Colorado, by way of Greenville, SC, The Malah have spent the last decade touring relentlessly, mastering their sound, and gaining a devout fan-base along the way.
In a scene where live-electronic music is running rampant, the Malah have managed to stand out by mixing rich, earthy atmospheres with electrifying rhythms. The trio explores the meeting point of cutting-edge technology and ancient musical theory. Creating a unique sound that is praised in both the \u201cJam\u201d and \u201cElectronica\u201d communities. The music is constantly evolving and brings together influences from an endless array of genres including Funk, Hip Hop, Jazz, World Beat, Trance, and Breakbeat with an effortless transition.
Truly a musical journey, every note is strategically placed with the utmost care; every melody finds its cosmic percussion partner in the sound space continuum. With a focus on layers and melody, bassist Elliott Vaughn provides a steady backdrop groove to compliment the axe wizardry of Brandon Maynard. With both members adding in carefully crafted beats and samples, the sound is met in a musical utopia by the explosive percussion of drummer Seth Fankhauser.<\/p>\n
