Artist Info
Savej:
Born and raised in the Honey Island Swamp of Louisiana, Savej [pron. savage] is known around the globe for his unique and captivating “Ancient Future” sound. His integration of ancestral medicine music, organic soundscapes, and exotic world instruments with groovy tribal rhythms and Louisiana flavor effectively bridges the gap between cultures and the Ages of time.
Savej’s live experience is designed to be sacred and celebratory sonic ceremony, a remembrance of who and what we are as human beings, and a reflection of the primordial essence that binds all things – all while infusing irresistibly danceable grooves and heavy-hitting bass. He has performed at some of the most sought after stages and festivals, ranging from the legendary Luna Stage at Envision Festival in Costa Rica to the Portal Stage at Area 15 in Las Vegas.
David Starfire:
Named by BBC Radio as “One of the most brilliant world-fusion producers of our time”, David Starfire is known as the pioneer of the Global Bass genre and composer of music for psychedelic therapy. Billboard summed it up best, “David Starfire brings a unique perspective to EDM.”
David has performed at prominent festivals such as Winter Music Conference, Coachella, Outside Lands, Burning Man, Eclipse, and Lightning in a Bottle. He’s opened up for Skrillex, Diplo, and collaborated with the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, Sizzla, Alex Grey, William Close, Ram Dass, Ooah (The Glitch Mob), Sidecar Tommy (Beats Antique), and the Grammy Award-nominated vocalist Chaytanya. His Ascend album reached #7 on the iTunes World Music chart and he had two #1 remixes on the Hype Machine. He's traded remixes with CloZee, Desert Dwellers, iLL Gates, Beats Antique, and SOOHAN.
Bass Temple:
BassTemple is a Denver based producer and DJ. Her music journeys from deep primordial bass into cosmic melodic loops, raising the energy into a high vibrational experience. Her sets seamlessly flow through styles weaving them into a musical kaleidoscope.
BassTemple’s musical career began on the Big Island of Hawaii where she was resident DJ of Out the Box, the longest running monthly bass music event and headlined some of the Big Island's biggest events including: Petting Zoo, EarthDance, Garden Temple, and Hawaiian Sanctuary’s EDance. She has opened for artists such as Clozee and Antennae. Recently, Bass Temple has been included on Emergence, an album curated by CloZee, and Virtus in Sonus V: both released with Gravitas Recordings. She has been a featured artist on EDM.com as well as Liquid Stranger’s coveted Spotify playlist, Power Grid.
