Denver-based, electro-soul maven Maddy O’Neal is in full control over her artistry, freeing herself from any previous expectations and ascending even further up the bass music hierarchy.

The producer has spent the past the past seven years showcasing to the world her diverse electro-soul style and hypnotic, hybrid DJ/drum pad live performances – a musical identity that’s led her to slots at world-class music festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Lightning In A Bottle.

With her soulful, funky bass music sound in tow, she’s also toured and collaborated with artists such as Pretty Lights, CloZee, Big Gigantic, and The Floozies, a triumphant journey that’s seen her pave her own path through the music industry and enchant millions of listeners in the process.

Following a massive 2022 that saw Maddy O’Neal release her acclaimed sophomore album Ricochet, the producer is keeping the momentum going with her new EP Mind Over Matter – a 4-track package whose malleable, eclectic presentations reflect the project’s central narrative of taking control over your own reality. Vibrant, diverse, and brimming with collaborations alongside other inventive artists, Mind Over Matter retains O’Neal’s signature feel-good bass style as it expands her sonic purview and showcases her ability to excel in any sound she chooses. 

Fans got their first taste of Mind Over Matter with the EP’s lead single “Free Yourself,” a luminescent, future bass-fueled cut with South Florida producer/multi-instrumentalist Sofasound (who’s released music on the venerated labels bitbird and Chillhop). Next was “Woofer,” a trunk-rattling, hip-hop infused collaboration with rapper Cleva Thoughts.

After that, Maddy O’Neal dropped shimmering future bass track “Bliss,” a collaboration with Canadian future bass producer Shylow (who in 2022 remixed O’Neal’s “Forgive Me” track for Westwood Recordings) and Los Angeles-based vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Britt Lari, who’s worked with high-profile producers such as CloZee.

Today, Maddy O’Neal unveils the full Mind Over Matter EP, featuring the single “Wide Awake.” A collaboration with singer-songwriter Torii Wolf, “Wide Awake” is a genre-blending masterclass, smoothly oscillating between hard-trap and bass music while wrapping itself in a lush, grandiose presentation.

The track kicks off with an epic, heart-thumping horn section before bringing into stuttering, industrial drum percussion. A slew of breakbeats then build up towards the track’s tectonic drop, which combines trunk-rattling 808s, dubstep wubs, and infectious melodies for a thunderous section of electronic music bliss.

Next, Torii Wolf begins their verse, elevating the track into a heavenly atmosphere with their angelic vocal delivery and transcendental lyrics.

Lavish, impactful, and filled to the brim with immaculate sonic details, “Wide Awake” is an illuminating display of a producer at the peak of her powers – and a perfect representation of Mind Over Matters’s free-flowing, liberatory journey. 

Following her performances at Secret Dreams Music & Arts Festival, and North Coast Music Festival, fans can catch Maddy O’Neal play out Mind Over Matter tracks at festivals such as Same Same But Different and the newly-minted Cascade Equinox. Her 31-stop, nationwide Mind Over Matter tour will also take her to venues in cities such as San Francisco, San Diego, Dallas, Austin, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Louisville, Indianapolis, her hometown in Denver, and many more.

Apple Music Replay Drops Before Spotify Wrapped

acastro STK046 01 1024x683 1

Apple Music Replay is back for another year, offering users a retrospective of their musical journey. Launched in 2019, the feature underwent a significant update last year, aligning it more closely with the popular Spotify Wrapped. This year’s Replay, accessible through Apple Music’s webpage, provides a comprehensive summary of your most-listened-to songs, artists, albums, and more. To kickstart the musical reflection, Apple has released Replay just days before Spotify is anticipated to unveil its Wrapped stats.

A Web-Centric Experience

Unlike Spotify Wrapped, which boasts highly shareable charts, A.M.R.’s stats lack the same visual appeal for online sharing. Interestingly, these statistics are not directly integrated into the Apple Music app. However, users can still access their 2023 Replay playlist within the app. The Replay feature not only showcases a delightful highlight reel of favorite songs and artists but also includes a milestone tracker, measuring accomplishments such as reaching the milestone of listening to 1,000 songs.

Navigating Your Replay

To view your Replay for the year, simply head to replay.music.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID. The platform provides an in-depth breakdown of your listening habits throughout the year. With Spotify Wrapped set to launch in early December, Apple seems keen on giving Replay a head start, ensuring users get a chance to explore their musical journey before being engulfed by the impending Wrapped stats, widely shared on social media platforms,

Relive The Magic Of Hulaween 2023 Through This Photo Journey

This past October, Suwannee Hulaween celebrated its tenth anniversary with a slew of incredible star performers, stunning art installations, and moments of connection.

Once again returning to Spirt of Suwannee Music Park, Hulaween showcased its affinity for music of all genres with headliners like Pretty Lights, The String Cheese Incident, John Summit, Channel Tres, Elderbrook, Big Wild, Mt. Joy, and many more.

And while the festival typically keeps its art installations hidden until the day of the event, this year they teased ten new installations for the ten-year anniversary including a new 360-degree Spirit Lake, the Incendia art stage conceptualized by Cory Glenn, and a daily projection mapping spectacle by the esteemed Jasper & Shelby Mosher.

For those who couldn’t attend this landmark edition of Hulaween or regulars who miss the freedom of Spirit Lake, check out the Hulaween 2023 photo gallery below:
