Flow For Days: Sonic Bloom’s Epic Undercard [WRR Playlist]

Have you ever been to an EDM festival and found yourself constantly waiting for the next headliner to play?  Perhaps you’ve wandered from stage to stage and found few sounds which activate you.  You may find that certain festivals don’t have much of an undercard; the plethora of non-headliners who are placed towards the bottom of lineup cards.  Despite the small font, this group of artists can make or break a festival.

This summer Sonic Bloom has assembled perhaps the grooviest and most diverse undercard of any EDM festival.  We’ve sorted through it and compiled a playlist to highlight producers and DJs who should not be missed by anyone heading to Hummingbird Ranch in the Spanish Peaks Country of Colorado on June 18-21.

The undercard has something for every ear.  For those who like their soul electro there’s Krooked Drivers, Manic Focus, Marvel Years, Russ Liquid, Saqi and more.  DJ Stickybuds is a Canadian producer who dabbles in many genres and mashes up reggae in classic dub and DnB style.  The Funk Hunters and their big glitch will play a set with the legendary rapper Chali 2na (Jurassic 5).  For a serious dose of raunchy bass there’s Caspa, an OG UK face-melter who helped popularize dubstep in the last decade.   For grass-oriented breaks check out the Oakland duo Dirtwire who fuse electronic and acoustic melodies into a beautiful, unique sound.

The Mile High Sound Movement is a Colorado artist collective, and they’ve been bringing the bass to Bloom for years.  During “The Road to Sonic Bloom” they’ve been showcasing local, lesser-known talent at venues around the country in anticipation of the festival.  They have seven acts on the Sonic Bloom undercard, including Unlimited Gravity and Project Aspect, two Denver producers who are fusing genres to clashing sound to delightful ends.  With spectacular control of the high and the low end, their bass music is not to be slept on.  In addition to their own sets, they’ll throw one together as Unlimited Aspect.

Always coming correct with mindful and resonant music, the Desert Dwellers will be there, and Treavor Moontribe, half of DD, will play a solo set of deep techno and house jams.  Colorado old-head VibesquaD is known to bring the heat with a hip-hop step, as is former WRR artist pick of the week Thriftworks who is climbing lineup cards so rapidly that it’s becoming harder to call him an undercard.  The downtempo of AtYya will blow you away.  His bass sounds like no other, as he uses binaural beats and tunes his music to the magic frequency of 432 hz (check out an article on the power of 432 hz).  Continuing on the conscious tip, Kaminanda will surely to help festival goers reconnect with the beauty all around them through his epic bass jams of earth and space.

For it’s tenth anniversary and “family reunion” Sonic Bloom has dubbed this year’s event “The Unified Field”.  In physics, the unified field theory suggests that all the fundamental forces that determine our lives (sound, light etc.) are all connected in one force; one unified field.  Sonic Bloom has applied this idea and its enormous implications to their lineup in 2015, giving fans a unified front of filthy bass music and groovy EDM.  What’s more, 50 of artists on the lineup hail from Colorado!

Thanks to ALL the artists, from the first to the last on the bill, everyone on Hummingbird Ranch will be treated to a sonic smorgasbord that won’t be replicated anywhere else this festival season.
