Electric Forest’s Solar Glow Disk Experience


Words By Greg Molitor

Electric Forest Festival 2011 is bringing a unique twist to the game of disc golf with the first ever Solar Glow Disk Experience. The Solar Glow Disk Experience builds upon the previous work of Stephanai Myers, author of Disc Golf Michigan, who debuted the very first extreme glow disc golf course at Hoxeyville Music Festival 2009 in Northern Michigan. Taking inspiration from Rothbury’s Sherwood Forest, Myers used 2,000 glow sticks at Hoxeyville 2009 to line the course and baskets, creating a visual disc golf experience that wowed attendees throughout the weekend.


After improving the course for Hoxeyville Music Festival 2010, Myers and friends have created The Solar Glow Disk Experience for Electric Forest 2011. The glow sticks have been replaced with solar powered LED lights to create more stunning visual stimulation as well as to promote a more sustainable disc golf experience. By combining the sport of disc golf with sustainable visual enhancements, The Solar Glow Disk Experience has invented a new way for attendees to enjoy music festivals through a positive, environmentally conscious complimentary activity. From the early inspiration of Sherwood Forest to the long-awaited return to Rothbury, Michigan, the project has truly come full circle, and if you’re traveling to Electric Forest, don’t miss this incredible spectacle as The Solar Glow Disk Experience will be making history this Fourth of July weekend!

Livetronica Sampler 3.22.11

Words by Greg Molitor ( ReMIND Photography ) Ozric Tentacles This British group has proven innovative throughout the years offering a space-rock meets psytrance sound that remains alive to this day. Though never having a major record label, Ozric Tentacles has produced 28 albums of diverse psychedelia throughout its career. The band met at the Stonehenge Free Festival in 1983 and truly fathered livetronica music with its use of sequencers and synthesizers. Simply put, there would be no livetronica without Ozric Tentacles. www.ozrics.com Octopus Nebula Colorado’s Octopus Nebula has certainly hit its stride as of late with its constant touring and increased festival interest. The group expands on the deep sounds of highly regarded acts such as STS9 and Shpongle but also carves a path of its own with its fresh takes on synthesizer tones and sampling in the live setting. Octopus Nebula Live at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on March 26, 2010. <--- Direct Archive Link www.octopus

Buckethead: Gimmick or Guitar God?

Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( phatphlogblog.blogspot.com ) At what point does the gimmick overshadow the performance? The obvious answer is Buckethead. The man is an amazing guitarist but something is not right in this world. The idea a performer who dons a KFC chicken bucket on his head for a concert has always intrigued me, and some of his side projects such as Colonel Claypool’s Bernie Bucket of Brains have been huge successes. However his performance last weekend in Fort Collins simply left me perplexed. From his robotic dancing, to his nunchuck display, to the fact the he performed with an iPod rather than a band all added to my confusion. Going into the show I was ready to be blown away, despite rumblings of disgruntled fans from the previous night’s show at The Gothic. Buckethead had had some sound issues and some missed cues in Denver but I was still trying to be positive for the show in Fort Collins. It did go off without a hitch technically but that was the least

The Origin of MusicMarauders

Words By J-man "What should I name this fucking thing?" I asked myself in the midst of a joint in my Upstate, NY apartment. "It's got to be something with just 'Music'in the title. Nothing more specific than that, as we'll be covering a wide variety of genres." One more drag on the joint yielded the memory of driving down Woodward Ave. in Detroit, listening to Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders. "MusicMarauders! That's it... It completely encompasses what we do in the sense the we are 'maraudering' or 'pillaging' for music," I thought as I stared out of the window at about three and a half feet of fresh Upstate snow. First things first, the domain had to be registered. "Do I have ten dollars in my account?" I thought to myself from a position of just scraping by. Pulling out my shiny, rarely used debit card, I put it to the test and was able to secure MusicMarauders.com. "What's next?" I
