[Music Video] Wallace – Good Guy (With a Gun)

Posted by Tyler Trew - March 27, 2018

The Chicago singer/songwriter Wallace has graced the web with an intimate anti-gun track called “Good Guy (With a Gun)” whose charitable efforts shall not go unnoticed. The single calls for proceeds to be donated to March For Our Lives.

Not only is there the song, but Wallace put together a fun little lyric video to augment the track’s already powerful appeal. It’s simple, yet effective in conjuring up the connection that is needed to progress a movement. There have been a few anti-gun songs that have come out, but this is one of the best projects so far. Enjoy the video and make sure to donate to the charity.

[Music Video] AWAY – Honest To God (Feat. Charity)

Posted by Tyler Trew - January 23, 2018

Here in the dojo we’re all about AWAY. Each time a release comes our way we’re ecstatic with what he’s put together and that’s no different when he puts together a visual project. The release of his music video for “Honest To God” with Charity is evidence enough that AWAY’s got the video game on lock too.

If you haven’t heard “Honest To God” then you’r in for a gloomy gem that will make its way to the top of your playlists in a hurry. Just as it is with AWAY’s music we get a dark video to accompany the record. We won’t get into too much detail, but it’s an intriguing tale that sucks you in; siphoning your attention until you can’t look away even if you tried. See for yourself!

AWAY is back at it, this time coming through the Lowly Palace pipeline with “Honest To Gød.” This original single features the LA vocalist Charity and shares a mind-bending array of styles all mixed together to AWAY’s liking.

Not only is it to AWAY’s liking, but it’s to ours and the hundreds of thousands of others who have heard the track since its release. It’s a dark, moody piece of music that shows off AWAY’s signature, something that has established him as a unique producer among a sea of generic caricatures. Together with Charity AWAY made “Honest To Gød” something truly memorable and will go down as one of the year’s most distinct and yet accessible records.

[Multi-Genre] black. Vol. 3 Compilation

Posted by Tyler Trew - February 28, 2017

We can always count on black collective to deliver some next level records. Their LPs are some of the best in the world. They’ve previously released two as a part of a compilation series that gives money to charity. The chosen charity this time around is Give A Beat.

In partnership with Cadence & Cause, these compilations serve not only as beacons for musical evolution, but also as philanthropic pillars in the dance community. Artists like Kompany, ESQ, Adair, Revazz and Tuslo come back with some extra hot fire that is well worth the donation price. The third volume of black. rolls deep with a whopping fourteen singles. You just don’t find this much quality bass music in one place. Check out the full project and head over to Cadence & Cause to donate and get your copy. For more information about where your donation is going to, you may find out in the quote below.

“Donations from black. Vol. 3 will go to Give a Beat, a non-profit organization that serves as a catalyst for social change by bridging global electronic dance music culture with youth and families impacted by incarceration. The money provided will help fund DJ workshops designed to promote self-confidence, empowerment, individuality, and healing from trauma. Many of the youth participants come from underserved communities that are grappling with poverty, crime and gang culture, over-policing, and incarceration of a family member. Expression through music and dance can foster positive connections and be a powerful force in inspiring a future that breaks the cycle of poverty and incarceration.”

Gareth Emery & Standerwick Release Anticipated Track “Saving Light” For Charity

SAVING LIGHT

77% of students are bullied mentally, verbally, & physically. Cyberbullying statistics are rapidly approaching similar numbers, with 43% experiencing cyberbullying…

The anticipation for Gareth Emery and Standerwick’s trance single, “Saving Light” landed for release by Monstercat, has created a lot of commotion since EDC Las Vegas ’16 when Gareth teased it to thousands. The emotional lyrics sung by HAILENE paired with the upbeat tempo of Gareth’s signature trance and dance heavy tempo brings more to the table than just a beautifully built song. “Saving Light” is also bringing the, too close to home, issue of bullying to light with a philanthropic effort.

No more disempowerment. No more prejudice. No more bullying. – Ditch the Label

Until March 1st, 100% of all profits made by both artists and the label via sales and streaming revenue will be donated to the Anti Bullying group Ditch The Label. On top of the proceeds, Monstercat will also be pushing a donation drive to the charity throughout the campaign. To give back visit Monstercat’s call to action page here.

[Show Preview] Wildlife Control – Wild Animal Sanctuary 7/20

What? Huh? Wildlife Control the indie rock band is playing at a show held by the Wildlife Animal Sanctuary out in Keenesburg, Colorado? Yep. That’s definitely the case this Saturday and we couldn’t be more excited.

Aside from the coincidental amusing name combination, this is actually a really cool experience. We recently teamed up with the Wildlife Sanctuary in Keenesberg (30 miles NW of Downtown Denver) to offer some help with their summer concert series. This series is designed to raises awareness and funding for this amazing non-profit. You may have seen the sanctuary on the news in past years, as they have rescued animals from all over the world in all different types of situations. It’s a 720 acre refuge, which is home to 51 lions, 70 tigers, 92 bears and other large carnivores that have been rescued from illegal or abusive situations. Pretty rad, right?

Not only is Wildlife Control playing this 100% free event, but there’s also two other supporting artists. Over Soul’d and Rocky Mountain Brassworks will be taking the stage in the earlier part of the day, and are sure to put on a good show.

While this is a really busy weekend here in Denver with the UMS and Global Dance Festival, we encourage you to check out Rock Into the Wild. The show starts at 3pm which means you can watch all three bands and still make it out for whatever Saturday night endeavors you have planned.

For more information head to Rock Into the Wild’s website.
