As if Miami wasn’t already one of the most prime spring break locations, in 2007 it gave birth to the Ultra Music Festival, one of the fastest growing festivals in the world. Don’t feel bad if you can’t make the voyage to Maimi, the good people over at the Ultra Music Festival came up with a creative “game” to announce that UMF will be streaming live on YouTube.
Check out the creative way UMF broke the news to dedicated fans, after the jump:
The famous music hub/recording space The Boiler Room put on an 8 team, five-a-side, soccer (futbol/football) tournament fueled by Umbro and the Boiler Room Sound System. Teams included the likes of Umbro, NTS, Numbers, Standard Place, Palace, Young Turks Records, R & S Records, and Hot Flush Recordings. ”Football, music, food, drink, sun & rain, all compacted into one afternoon.” Continue Reading →

“Hotwiring naughty synth lines and dancefloor crushing beats with elegant harmonic textures and twisted, pop-cultured hooks, Virtual Boy craft a grimy, cinematic sound all their own on the group’s debut EP “How Long Does It Take To Get To Space?,” dropping July 21, 2009 on 1320 Records. But even before Virtual Boy had an official release, taste-making DJs spanning packed clubs to BBC Radio were spinning their atmospheric bangers, which owe as much to Bach and Mozart as they do to Justice, evoking Air as much as Virtual Boy’s heroes-in-glitch Nosaj Thing and Glitch Mob.” – Virtual Boy

In the final days of 2011, UPTHERE decided to get a head start on our New Year’s resolutions and set the tone for what our plans are for furthering a movement in green entertainment. Our mission was simple: See how much fun we can have while introducing and sharing environmental ideas with the artists and musicians at SnowGlobe. Just as we thought, everyone was excited to hear about the avenues of creativity that would take entertainment to the next level. Continue Reading →
Although this does not pertain directly to UPTHERE apparel, we enjoy spreading news, ideas, activities, and activism that revolve around the realms of environmental awareness and increased ecological consciousness. Here are some of my experiences with the Green Campus program at UCSB. Continue Reading →
