New track from The Digital Connection
Ricky Shine aka The Digital Connection has been a busy boy so far this year. He's fresh off a multi-state tour, including Gem & Jam Festival in Arizona (featured right), and even a stop off in our humble little town of Grand Junction, CO. His already super sexy time take on all original bass music shines right through his latest remix of "Let Go For Tonight" by Foxes. Check it out here and even grab a free DL:Thursday, January 10, 2013
Snowball 2013? You Bet Your Sweet Ass
YEEEAAAAAYAARRRRRSS!! Year Three of the EPIC Music Adventure Party has finally released the last phase of the line-up!!!! I've been every year so far, last year with a press pass and got so close to MartyParty on stage I could smell him slayin the crowd with that gangster funk! I got a lot of amazing footage last year- check out my coverage here:
and the Fix Your Face Snowball Afterparty Show
This year the festival is being held in Winter Park, CO since the City of Avon finally gave in and said they couldn't handle it. I have mixed feelings about this, I had finally started to feel comfortable in the Vail area, met some cool people, and found the dope spots to hang after the festival in town. New Town, New Bars, New Cops, New Vibes. Plus, lodging in Denver might be too enticing pricewise to ignore, but we all remember the shuttle fiasco from last year. Could spell disaster for alot of people if they are not careful and don't plan ahead, but, with every year's mistakes comes new knowledge and ideas: I'm excited for the new experience! AND- This year proves to be just as awesome as the last two with a CRAZY SICK lineup!
- Pretty Lights
- STS9
- Big Gigantic
- Porter Robinson
- Datsik
- GRIZMATIK
- Flosstradamus
- Zion I
- Crizzly w/ Lil Flip
- SHLOHMO
- Michal Menert
- Run DMT
- The Floozies
- TRUTH
- ISHE
- ChrisB.
And that's just who I'm excited to see!! My crew always ends up finding the dopest side shows at random times that straight melt faces. I REALLY hope the Afterparty scene is as hyphy as it was last year!
For now, check out the tracks I dug up on some of these cats.
BOOM!!!. See all of you there FAM!!!! Stay Tuned to find out where Fix Your Face Radio will be covering AfterDark in Winter Park this year!!

NYE Choices...
It's that time of year again and Fix Your Face Radio will be heading to Denver in search of the filthiest bass parties to ring in the new year!! With so many choices this year to choose from during the week between X-Mas and NYE, I'd like YOUR input on who you'd like to see covered by FYFR! First off, not sure if I can make it up until after Christmas, but if if so, I def wanna hit up the Fox Theater for James Egbert and Ectocooler! Never seen Egbert before but I know Ectocooler puts on a great live show. This JE track here is a tad on the older side, but still a BANGER!, and I love this mashup by
Ecto Cooler!!!!
The rest of the NYE party weekend pretty much starts on Friday the 28th this year. Here's the options!!
Friday 12.28.12
- Nobody Beats the Drum @ The Bluebird - A full on AUDIO/VISUAL Experience!!!
Sub.mission Brings back the 12th Planet for his residency at Beta Nightclub in Denver!!! Plus, this time around he's got UZ from Diplo's Label, Mad Decent!! This would be EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The smooth intelligent hip hop duo is back in Colorado for 2 nights in the Denver area-first @ the Marquis, then The Fox in Boulder, followed by 12.30.12 in Brekenridge @ 320 SOUTH. Formed in Los Angeles, CA, Thes One and the Double K have been together as People Under the Stairs since '97. Here's one of my favorite tracks-San Francisco Knights :)
Saturday 12.29.12
Zomboy and Sub.mission's own Coult.45 are going to rip The Bluebird apart!!! Seen both of them before and let me tell you-don't sleep on this show!! Sub.mission is still
keepin the Mile High City hot with the fire artists from all over the globe, but their residents are no joke!!
Here's some tracks for those of you who don't know!!
Sound Tribe Sector 9 is doing a 3 night run at The Fillmore, should be an amazing mini tour! I have a few of my best friends going for NYE, but I think I might like to see them earlier in the weekend to save room for the rest of the awesome acts playing out! Either way, I know they put on a dank live show, I saw them at Red Rocks with Pretty Lights a few years back. Here's "Hidden Hand, Hidden Fist"
Sunday 12.30.12Monday 12.31.12
Okay so as a Visual Artist, I was a little sad to find out that Amon Tobin is doing ISAM at City Hall for NYE...But his music is still fucking awesome and I would love the chance to see it live! And Digital Connection and Future Simple are badass! Don't know much about Seied or Kastle, but I like what I hear! And just because its cooler than the other side of the pillow, I'll show you a clip of the ISAM too :)

Sub.Mission Global Dub Arena featuring | ZEDS DEAD | | MiMOSA | Paul Basic | Flosstradamus | Fury |
I went to this party last year...My crew was in line waiting for almost two hours. We missed Feed Me, Jontron, and the majority of Joman's set...25 minutes in line for beers once inside the venue. I can say that we did not have the best time. Triad Dragons addressed these issues on the Facebook event page and honestly, I feel for them. First time in a new venue, over 10.000 people, yeah, they were bound to have some problems. But they now have some solutions in place for this year and it seems that they've got their shit together. I personally would not have a problem giving Decadence another shot. A SICK lineup never hurts too :) Peep the official trailer for 2013 and a few tracks from my favorites right here-
- Crowne Plaza NYE Block Party w/TimeLine dropping @ Midnight!!!
Denver's NYE has a new kid on the block- Crowne Plaza NYE Block Party stands to be just as big as Decadence this year. This is from the website:
- Count down to the New Year featuring Colorado's largest balloon drop ever
- Elevated VIP decks and cabanas with a sparkler lit toast of bubbly at midnight
- Several themed rooms featuring cover bands, DJ's, and the Bass Cave
- Novelty party hats, streamers, and noisemakers scattered throughout the party
- White out confetti cannon explosion at the stroke of midnight
- Balloon wrapped go-go dancers on towering platforms
- Theatrical dance teams, stilt walkers, and entertainers of all kinds
- Classy semi-formal to formal dress code
- Coat check provided in the hotel atrium
- Free shuttle transportation to and from nearby block party hotels
Sounds cool enough. HOWEVER, there's one fact about this party that has me chomping at the bit to be there: TIMELINE!! That's right, our friend TimeLine is droppin the filth at the stroke of midnight all over downtown Denver. And I would love to be there!! Here's his brand new video "Out of Reach"-Animation by Nick Person. His new album can be downloaded in its entirety at www.robotswithbadteeth.com

Exclusive Sugarpill/Gladkill Interview!!
Well, after months of waiting, it's finally finished!! Back in January of this year, I was lucky enough to sit down with Sugarpill and Gladkill for an interview before the West Coast Bass Summit @ Agave in beautiful Avon, CO. Super chill guys, check out the interview as we talk about influences, copyright infringement, and more!! Be sure to check out the latest from their Soundcloud accounts too, Gladkill just dropped his Beta EP and is out touring with Bassnectar, and Sugarpill just finished up at Lunacy festival in Cali.Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Michal Menert&Break Science @ Belly Up
No one puts on a show like my Pretty Lights Music cats. I've long ago lost track of how many times I've seen some of these guys live, but they never cease to amaze me. This was however my first time ever being to the Belly Up in Aspen, CO. And let me tell you, if you haven't been, GO! It's only a two and a half hour drive from Grand Junction, and about the same distance from Denver. I will say that driving back kinda sucks at 4 in the morning, but the sick shows they put on there totally makes up for it! We were lucky enough to have Mikey Thunder open the show for us: that fellar knows how to get the fucking party started!! Unfortunately, I didn't get as much footage of him as I would have liked, but I did capture him throwing down a SICK edit of Al Green's "Love and Happiness"! It's about midway through the playlist :) Break Science was on next-I've said it before and I will say it again-Adam Deitch is one of the baddest drummers on the fucking planet!! Straight Skills. The Break Science 3/5 vid is my personal favorite for sure. Michal Menert...Michal Menert...I love this guy! I think my sickly obsession with Pretty Lights hindered me from really getting into MM at first drop from his first album, Dreaming of a Bigger Life. It wasn't until his second album, Even if It Isn't Right, that I truely started to feel his sound. I can now go back and jam the shit out of his debut album, no problem. Sometimes I guess you just need that push in the right direction :) Enjoy the video's-if the playlist isn't working for you and you'd like to pick and choose which videos to watch, click my YouTube link here on the right>>>Sunday, October 7, 2012
Robotic Pirate Monkey!!!!!!!
I haven't seen a show at Mesa theater this dope in a minute! I was so excited to run my facemelter rig at this show! Sick lazer/projection show, GoGo dancers, Fire Dancers, and some top rate talent! Robotic Pirate Monkey threw down like nobody's business, I was very impressed with their live show. I'd seen them before at Snowball Music Festival, but this performance really blew me away. Pretty Ugly (Daytona x Timeline) opened up for them, but don't get it twisted: they are no opening duo. These guys fucking slaughtered their set and had the whole crowd damn near wore out by the time RPM hit the stage. Don't miss Daytona back at Mesa Theater for Junktown EDM Fest this coming Saturday, Oct 13th. Here's the full playlist of all the video I took during the show. Enjoy, and tell a friend :)
