Shambhala Music Festival is an annual electronic music festival in British Columbia, Canada. It is held during the last week of July at the Salmo River Ranch, a 500-acre farm, in the West Kootenay mountains near Nelson, BC. The festival lasts 4 days and 3 nights and offers a mix of music and art in nature.

Shambhala Music Festival was born from a vision as grassroots as it gets. On a sunny Labour Day weekend back in 1998, some 500 people gathered at the Salmo River Ranch for a party that showcased local art and music. From those early, heady days, Shambhala grew with enthusiasm by word of mouth, quickly becoming a staple event for the West Coast underground electronic music scene. Today it attracts world renowned DJs and artists and some of the most eclectic, energetic fans in the universe. The festival is fueled by Shambhalove which shines bright to this day. Shambhala Music Festival is cutting edge in its production and does not accept any corporate sponsorship. This allows the festival to retain a true reflection of the people on the dance floor and their vision of what their community looks like. This mission is important to hold down as electronic dance music culture has moved into the mainstream where opportunistic corporations have threatened to water it down. In this respect, this festival’s community is like no other. You will not see one advertisement or corporate logo on the farm.

By 2010, 15,000 guests, artists and crew were coming to dance and be free in the wilds of interior British Columbia. Today, people come to enjoy the festival’s focus of providing amazing art, music and life changing experiences.

Shambhala Music Festival is an annual event not to be missed, boasting six uniquely themed stages, each managed by their own Stage Director. All Stage Directors will book their talent, dream up the stage’s vibe and deliver unforgettable experiences year after year. The festival features the best in electronic and live music from around the globe and our very talented backyard. Ultimately, Shambhala Music Festival is a celebration of music, art and life, steeped in one of the most beautiful festival venues in the world.

The doors of Bang Bang were opened last fall providing the public with an exquisite Asian-fusion cuisine and remarkable venue. The tunneled stairway entrance, reminiscent of a Tokyo subway station, will bring you into Bang Bang’s unique dimension to create a memorable experience with our excellent service, outstanding food and drink, and our unparalleled hospitality. The three different spaces of our venue and custom menus can accommodate any private event from birthday parties, company parties, corporate, social and cocktail events, to business presentations, symposiums and dinner gatherings. For those who have yet to visit Bang Bang, it’s quite a trip. The second-floor space is accessed from a steep stairwell that designers revamped into a tile-lined tunnel with piped-in subway sounds. Upstairs, diners can choose between the quieter, well-lit sushi barroom or the dimly lit social room with bar, dance floor and an endless stream of weird Japanese videos and cartoons playing on the walls. In the women’s bathroom, one stall has been famously devoted entirely to dreamy photos of actor Ryan Gosling (whose name also graces a specialty sushi roll). There are also tributes to Bruce Lee, Hello Kitty and Godzilla.

At a certain point if you trek through the dance scene of Texas long enough, you will hear tales of the legendary nightclub known as Kingdom. While a lot of the stories are exaggerations, there are a lot more that are true. The elusive nightclub has played host to plenty of mega name Djs, secret parties and after hours sets to make even the most jaded dance scenester take stock of who they know, and how connected they are. That’s why it should come as no surprise that most of the events at Kingdom now carry ticket requirements. While there are still the free dance shows, and surprise parties that don’t carry a cover, they are still subject to the laws of the club, and you can find yourself waiting in a crowd of people littered down the strangely urbane alleyway that Kingdom’s front door calls home.

As for the club itself, Kingdom definitely knows its market, and provides all the bells and whistles that the pretty, and elite should require for successful night of partying. Opulent dance floors, and booths all supplemented by a gracious staff that provides impeccable service and ambiance. Even more amazing is that the staff manages to maintain their friendly vibe, and on point service when the club transitions to its after hours offerings and basically becomes a speakeasy. Stay on your game, and you should have a blast at one of Austin’s premier clubs.

Resurrected Velvet Underground club will be reopening as a live music venue in February.

Local entertainment group Embrace Presents has taken over the Queen West venue, which closed in September, and plans to open the revived space early in the new year.

“We heard the Velvet was closing, so we immediately reached out as we had always been huge fans of the venue,” says Embrace’s CEO, Adam Gill.

Embrace has already started to revamp it to focus solely on live music. “We plan is to modernize it and we are doing a big renovation as we speak,” Gill says, “The main difference will be that its focus will be on live music as a concert venue where before it was more a club for goth or industrial music.”

The space, which has been a go-to place for rock, new-wave and metal, was dissolved by Liberty Entertainment Group back in September. According to a press release, the Liberty was shifting gears to focus on expanding a repertoire of wine bars and clubs.

Considered a musical institution by many, the intimate venue has featured an impressive roster of Canadian artists, including Alanis Morissette, who celebrated her chart-topping album release party of Jagged Little Pill there in 1995.

Embrace has announced their official reopening party will take place on February 12, with Toronto’s own dystopian-pop group, TRUST to ring in the comeback of the space.

“We had thought it would be an amazing live venue for a few years now,” say Gill. “Since the Bigbop/reverb closed there has been a void left in the market and we plan to help bring live music back to Queen Street.”

Despite being only 24, Dutchman Jordy Saämena has already achieved and accomplished many things. As a child he first became conscious of the wider musical world when listening to hip hop, old soul and garage and soon began drumming. It was a desire to create the full song, not just the bottom end, that turned Jordy onto production. Now, eight or so years later, he has switched with great skill and style between a number of different genres.

In 2012 the musician and producer began studying Electronic Music at The Conservatory in Haarlem and soon became infatuated with bass. This is no surprise given Jordy’s Moluccan heritage, a culture that is known for laying down exciting rhythms on traditional local drum, the Tifa.

It was at this moment that he dreamt up new moniker GANZ (also known as GANZ GVNZ, IAMGANZ or GANZEE) and began crafting the creations we hear today. This music he makes, inspired by peers like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke, is a melange of beats and bass, r&b smoothness with hip hop rhythms and so far has been released on labels like Bmkltsch Rcrds, Saturate! Records and HW&W. Now a part of the HW&W family and intent on taking his sounds across the globe, GANZ is an artist very much on the rise.
