VM’s Top 5 Favorite Things About Shaky Beats 2017
1. Home State Festival
Our roots are deeply grounded in the great state of Georgia. So when there is a festival of this size and quality in the heart of one of our favorite cities, we just have to show our love. Atlanta is known for many things – as of late it may be the collapsing of highways and MARTA catching on fire – but there is no denying this city knows how to host a music festival or two.
2. Centennial Park
Shaky Beats returned to Centennial Olympic Park in the heart of Atlanta, GA, for its second year. With a line-up boasting the likes of The Chainsmokers, Kaskade, GRiZ, Bonobo, Flosstradamus, Zeds Dead, Galantis, RL Grime, Gramatik, the return of Girl Talk, and many more, this year’s fest certainly did not disappoint.
If you are familiar with Centennial Park when there’s not a festival occupying the park, the idea of a loud, electronic focused festival with three stages may raise some skepticism. We were anticipating unbearable hoards of attendees packed into the park and awful noise bleed from the stages. We were met with neither. Sure it was crowded, of course, but nothing insufferable, and no noise bleeding. That’s a win for us.
3. Gramatik
Gramatik is just one of those artists we are always happy to see on a lineup. With a Gramatik set, you know you’re always going to have a funky energetic time. We couldn’t stop shakin’ our beats throughout the late afternoon performance. Gramatik was absolutely one of our favorite sets from Day 2 at Shaky Beats.
4. Slushii
That hair. That jersey. Those bright colors. That Slushii cartoon. We loved it. This was our first time seeing Slushii (Julian Scanlan) live. Not only is he known for his work with artists such as Marshmello and Skrillex, Scanlan also puts on one hell of a show.
5. The Chainsmokers
There is no denying it, we’re fans. The Chainsmokers‘ set was everything we wanted it to be and definetely how we wanted to end our Shaky Beats weekend. All of our favorite anthemic songs were played and Centennial was absolutely alive with sing-a-longs Sunday night. Each time we’ve seen The Chainsmokers, their performance just gets bigger and better.
Shaky Beats Artist: Little Dragon
Cryptic, hypnotic,
Layered hooks and melodies,
Dreamy, strong vocals
Our “Haiku Review” of Little Dragon’s long-awaited album, Season High, pretty much sums it up.
From classic video game sounds to mystical dreamscapes, from upbeat tribal dance grooves to spaced out zones, there is unexpected and unimagined magic within each track.
“We want to exist in our own bubble where we can stay curious about sounds. The magic feeling that sounds can sprinkle over any boring day is what got us all hooked. That feeling of escapism …” shared singer and songwriter Yukimi Nagano while discussing the process behind the recording of Season High.
This is the first new music from the Grammy-nominated electro-pop band since they released their acclaimed 2014 album, Nabuma Rubberband. While the album has been out for a few weeks now, it comes just before their scheduled performance at this year’s Shaky Beats Music Festival in Atlanta, GA, this weekend.
The second annual Shaky Beats Music Festival will be taking place in Centennial Olympic Park and boasts a line-up that includes The Chainsmokers, Kaskade, GRiZ, Bonobo, Flosstradamus, Zeds Dead, Galantis, RL Grime, Gramatik, and of course, Little Dragon.
Over the course of three days, three stages will light up the heart of downtown Atlanta with an array of today’s best and most popular EDM acts. The party will continue both Friday and Saturday nights with Shaky Beats Late Night Shows.
Don’t miss Little Dragon’s Shaky Beats set at 5:40PM EST this Sunday (5/7) on the Peachtree Stage and their late night show on Saturday w/ Abjo at The Masquerade – Heaven, 11:00pm Doors/ 11:30pm Show. Tickets are still available!
