Back for its second year, Of The Tree’s Camp Alderwild Festival returns to the beautiful San Juan Mountains in Telluride, CO on August 28 + 29, 2026. Now with the Phase 2 lineup drop, Camp Alderwild is shaping up to build on last year’s success with an intimate, nature-forward gathering.
Features of the 2026 lineup include an epic B2B between Detox Unit & Koan Sound, Esseks & tyedye ky performing as SurfTeam, EAZYBAKED, Cool Customer, Bad Snacks, and Yoko. The Phase 2 announcement highlights an already impressive lineup of headliners, Of The Trees and Daily Bread. Both artists will perform a closing set and a daytime set, delighting fans with double the beats.
The new lineup also introduces a first-time collaboration between Detox Unit and Koan Sound, two highly technical artists in the experimental bass realm. Their performance will be enhanced by a live VJ show from visionary visual artist Android Jones, marking their first collaboration and offering an immersive audio-visual experience that blends sound, art, and technology.

ALDERBAKED!
Joining the lineup are the ever-popular Super Hash Bros, EAZYBAKED. Fresh off their “The Bake Out” event series, these two Florida natives are poised for a big festival season with highlights at massive events like EDC Las Vegas and Bonnaroo.
Further additions include the glitch god himself, Cool Customer. The fast-rising stylings of Cool Customer have garnered attention from the likes of Zeds Dead, Tape B, Subtronics, and many more. Adding to this diverse Phase 2 lineup is SurfTeam (Esseks x tiedye ky), offering a rare collaborative performance focused on psychedelic and experimental sounds. Bad Snacks brings her genre-blending production to the forest along with Yoko, an emerging artist from Denver who blends glitch hop and neuro bass.
Beyond performances at Telluride Town Park, attendees can enjoy curated late-night events throughout downtown Telluride, as well as opportunities to hike, explore, and take in the area’s famed outdoor scenery. Camp Alderwild welcomes all ages, offering camping options for those eager to fully engage with the experience.

When it comes to building a mythos to bring an album to life, few do it better than Seven Lions. Those skills were on full display this past Saturday, April 11, as he and his team brought his new album on tour at Brooklyn’s newest premier club destination, Brooklyn Storehouse. In addition to his December 2025 album, Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, Seven Lions also featured his two new singles from the follow-up EP, The Dreams Strange and Eternal, which is set to be released on Friday, May 1, 2026.
Joining Seven Lions for the tour stop in Brooklyn was Quackson, who got the party started at 10:20 pm. Nurko played next, featuring his sweeping melodic bass drops and some tasty new IDs. YDG was on duty as direct support, getting the crowd worked up with his take on some classic hip-hop and trap remixes. Then, after Seven Lions, Oliverse closed the night out from 3 to 4 am with some dubstep and DnB.
Seven Lions’ set ran 90 minutes from 1:30 to 3 am, and it was a non-stop trip through the Seven Lions mythos. He came right out of the gates firing with the gorgeous new song and video, “Free,” from his upcoming EP. To add to the ambiance, multicolored light fixtures hung from the ceiling and dropped down close to the dance floor, creating a dramatic effect throughout the cavernous 105,000-square-foot venue. In classic Seven Lions style, he seamlessly transitioned across his multi-genre catalog without ever saying a word. It was truly a work of art to hear him weave together his influences across melodic dubstep, psytrance, and black metal, which are noticeably forward in tracks like “Thrice Woven.”
Speaking of his new single “Free,” Seven Lions and Ophelia Records teamed up with EDMTrain and FL Studio to announce a remix contest for the track. The stems are available for download, and the contest runs from April 14 through May 8. The contest winner will be announced on May 12 and will receive access to FL Studio software, the remix released through Seven Lions, and a merch box from Ophelia Records. It is great to see artists giving back to their community, especially after Seven Lions famously won a 2011 remix competition for Above & Beyond’s “You Got To Go.”
With so much going on in the mythos of Seven Lions, Moon Lvnding took the occasion to speak with him before he got on the stage in Brooklyn.
Moon Lvnding: What’s it like to get back out on the road?
Seven Lions: It’s cool. Happy to see all the energy!
ML: What was it like to build the dreamstate of the new album Asleep in the Garden of Inferna Stars?
SL: This one has been really cool. We spent a lot of time on the artwork, and really incorporating my roots as a metalhead into it, which has been cool. I’m always pulling from my background, but this album in particular feels very much like a culmination of a lot of things that I love, like horror movies and fantasy.
I did pick and choose the songs. There were a few that ended up getting pushed to the EP, which didn’t feel like they fit the album because they were a little more pop-leaning… [it’s] part of the reason why there was an EP because songs like “Hurricane” and “Free” didn’t quite fit what I wanted on the main part of the album.

ML: What was it like building the production for a huge venue like Brooklyn Storehouse?
SL: It sounds like it’s this glorious creative thing, and it is in some sense, but a lot of it is calls and diagrams. The fun part is building the show, though, once you have the stage part dialed in, then you’re gonna figure out what to put on the stage, that’s been really cool!”
ML: I know as a gamer, you’re a big fan of creating easter eggs in your mythos design. Are there any in the album or artwork you’d care to share with us?
SL: Mainly, the metal logos and things like that are really just a callback to growing up in the metal scene and really wanting to capture that aesthetic.
ML: Speaking of metal, you mention in one of your videos that your mom had a strong reaction to your new music. What songs did she really like?
SL: “Cold as Snow” for sure, she hit me up right after she heard that one and was super stoked on it. Anything that has metal-related stuff, I think she knows me well enough.
ML: Finally, here at Moon Lvnding, we have the motto of “uniting the world through music.” What does that mean to you?
SL: It’s just community building… that’s always been the goal with Ophelia [Records], and getting people together in a cool environment and listening to music that’s positive. Even though there’s moments of light and dark in the set, I think generally the crowd and the people that we bring are a really eclectic, interesting, kind crowd of people. I’m really proud of that, I love our community, and I think we’re doing a good job in our little corner of the world of bringing people together… that’s what I’m most grateful for, as far as what I get to do every day.
Likewise, the EDM community is grateful for everything Seven Lions has contributed over the year. There are still five more dates on this first phase of the Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars Tour, including stops in Texas, San Francisco, and Red Rocks in Colorado. In addition to his album tour, Seven Lions has a huge run of festivals planned for 2026 with heavyweights like EDC Las Vegas, Rampage, Tomorrowland, and Shambhala, to name a few.

Closing a room without losing it is harder than building one up. On his recent ‘Toxic’ Tour, Roddy Lima showed Brooklyn’s SILO Nightclub how to execute closing duties in style. On March 20, before his Miami Music Week appearances, he took over a dancefloor that was already moving and elevated the vibes, working through slow grooves and steady buildups that kept the room locked in from 2 am to close.
Watching him work, what stood out most was his composure. Moving between the CDJs without hesitation, just steady decisions and clean timing. From a DJ perspective, it was clear he understood how to hold a room without forcing it. No wonder his audience in the U.S. keeps growing, and he’s getting booked for the world’s biggest festivals.
Throughout the set, he introduced rhythmic elements that hinted at his Brazilian background, especially in the way he used funk-leaning percussion loops to reset tension before drops. Small adjustments that kept things from feeling predictable without breaking the flow he had already established. SILO’s DJ booth provided an in-the-round setup that changed the dynamic of the night. With the booth centered and the crowd surrounding him, it felt closer to a working session than a stage performance.

Lighting stayed tight with the music, drops landing with flashes that matched the rhythm. Nothing overproduced, just enough to keep the focus where it belonged. People were there to dance. The dancefloor stayed consistent, the movement constant; not overcrowded, not thinning out.
For most of the night, phones stayed away, and attention stayed with the music, which says more about a set than any reaction video ever could. His sound carried a recognizable bounce-techno structure with funk movement underneath it. Groove first, pressure second. Nothing felt rushed, and nothing felt dragged out longer than necessary.
What started as a bedroom project in Sao Paolo, Brazil, has blossomed into an international touring career. Ever since Lima’s U.S. debut alongside John Summit last year and subsequent hit single “Night Time,” his schedule has been expanding. After his Brooklyn show, he finished a successful run at MMW with Experts Only, MADMINDS, and LALALAND to close out his current ‘Toxic” Tour dates.
This weekend, Roddy Lima will perform at Coachella’s Do Lab on April 11, one of three Brazilians on this year’s lineup. He follows that up with elrow Dallas on April 17 and Breakaway Tampa on April 18, before EDC Las Vegas on May 15, including a second appearance at the Camp EDC Pool Party. To keep up with all the latest announcements and headline show dates, check out his socials below.
Seven Stars finally dropped one of the most anticipated lineups of the 2026 festival season. Since the successful debut of GRiZ’s Valley of the Seven Stars Festival in 2025, fans have been reliving memories from last October and eagerly awaiting the next iteration of the cosmic campout. Returning to Arrington, Virginia, on October 9 – 11, presale signup has begun through the festival website for those who didn’t get the loyalty ticket option from Year 1. The general presale begins on March 24.
The 2026 lineup features a heavy helping of bass music, plus some psychedelic jam bands and a sprinkle of funky house. From experimental bass and bass house to future bass and DnB, Seven Stars has an artist for every vibe.
In addition to three unique sets from the festival host, GRiZ, a few specialty sets stand out, including a Cloud Conductor set from Daily Bread and a Street Bangerz Set from Gramatik. The lineup also features up-and-coming fan favorites like Avello, Capochino, Richard Finger, Steller, and WonkyWilla, just to name a few. There’s also a B2B listed, but LYNY’s other half is still a mystery. Any guesses for the B2B?
We also noticed the Seven Stars lineup features an excellent amount of feminine energy with women artists on nearly every row, including all three on the top row! Other festivals should take note of the intentional choice to book more women artists, which is encouraged and welcomed by the EDM community.
In addition to the music artists on the lineup, there are opportunities to participate in workshops, wellness activities, and outdoor adventures, enhancing the excitement and experience. Be mindful of the Seven Pillars of Seven Stars Fest, the guiding principles and shared values of the festival: Inclusion, Sovereign Self, Sharing, Leave No Trace, Curiosity, Kula (Unified Heart), and Bunga (Wild Abandon). By celebrating these values, GRiZ has truly created the most wonderful and welcoming camping music festival. Moon Lvnding will be back with more updates as we get closer to the festival, and be sure to follow Seven Stars on socials for all the latest news and announcements.
Late into Saturday night, Jeff Mills stepped up to the decks at a sold-out Knockdown Center, the moment the room had been building toward all evening. The crowd felt like a reflection of his legacy — ravers of all ages sharing the same floor, longtime followers alongside a younger generation, both there to witness one of Detroit Techno’s originators in real time.
The room set the tone. Dark, raw, and industrial, with heavy bass filling the space while lights moved tightly with the rhythm. The production created an atmosphere that only intensified the vibes that the music created.
The night opened with a 30-minute screening of footage from the original “Live at Liquid Room” along with never-before-seen clips and commentary from Mills. The 1995 recording still stands as one of the clearest examples of techno DJing at its most technical and forward-thinking. Liquid Room remains a defining space in Tokyo’s electronic music history, tied to a period where DJs like Mills were pushing the limits of what could be done with vinyl and instinct alone. Thirty years later, the influence of that era still feels present, not as nostalgia but as part of the foundation the techno genre continues to build on.

Mills played immediately after the screening, building the energy with the kind of patience and control that has always defined his style. Ken Ishii followed with a two-hour set that kept the room locked in, his precision and track selection feeling like a natural continuation rather than a reset.
Mills returned around 3:30 am with a surprise feature from the renowned producer, Beltran. The surprise turned into a quiet display of experience — quick hands moving through records, effortless transitions, and the kind of real-time decision making that shows how physical vinyl is DJing at its highest level.
The dancefloor stayed fully engaged deep into the night. There was a real sense of respect in the room — for the craft, for the history, and for what was happening in front of them. Thirty years after Liquid Room, Mills still moves with the same purpose. Watching that level of control up close felt less like looking back and more like being reminded why his approach still sets today’s standard.
There are still a few tour dates on Mills’ first phase of the Live at Liquid Room 30th Anniversary Tour, with a trip to South Africa before finishing in Strasbourg. Jeff Mills will also play at some summer festivals in Europe, including Neopop outside of Porto, Portugal, and Brunch Electronik in Barcelona, Spain.

Viral dubstep producer Heyz brought his biggest headline show ever to Denver’s Ogden Theatre last Saturday, March 14. Highlighting the sold-out event was ingenious Laser Cage production, which surrounded his DJ setup with three walls of floor-to-ceiling lasers. It was by far the most lasers I’ve ever seen in a similarly sized theatre setup with jaw-dropping lighting all night long.
Denver local Solfire got the party started with a mix of deep dubstep and her lyrical originals. Up next, Brainrack B2B Wiley took over the room with a heavy-hitting arsenal of collabs and a boatload of fresh IDs from both artists. Finally, Black Carl! got the crowd pumped as direct support for Heyz, blasting his new tunes “Nonstop” and “Act a Fool” to the energetic crowd. Mosh pits swirled through the dancefloor for the better part of the night.

Heyz took over around 11:30 pm, and for the next 90 minutes, he commanded the room with his heady blend of viral flips, beloved remixes, and engaging originals. Calls to “Open the Pitoris” were met with a roar from the crowd and renewed energy for the mosh pits in The Ogden.
But it was the laser cage production that kept me engaged from start to finish. In addition to the dozens of floor-to-ceiling lasers surrounding the DJ decks, strategically placed lasers shot across the theatre to the back wall and diagonally from the ceiling to the floor. It was one of the most stunning laser displays I’ve seen at a headline show outside of a festival setting. Heyz brought the action, and the pictures barely do it justice.

Selling out The Odgen is another big milestone in Heyz’s journey as a Denver producer. As he left the stage, he told the crowd that he would be aiming even higher for his next Denver headline show, with his sights set on Mission Ballroom. Building on his HEYZ’D and Confused Tour, Heyz prepares for the biggest booking year of his career with huge festival appearances at EDC Las Vegas, Beyond Wonderland Chicago, and Electric Forest, to name just a few. Keep an eye on his website and social media pages linked below to stay informed of all his latest announcements and antics.
Arizona is about to get cranked as Crankdat brings his headline to Rawhide on May 9th, 2026. Hot off his newest single, “Movement,” Crankdat is heading to the valley of the sun with fellow bass favorites Zingara, Zen Selekta, and Casey Club. Hosted by Relentless Beats, Arizona fans can expect a night built for maximum volume and zero restraint. If recent shows offer any clue, the energy will be catastrophic.
Over the past few years, Crankdat has sharpened his sound into a high-impact festival weapon. His catalog fuses dubstep aggression, trap influence, and cinematic builds. Meanwhile, his edits and remixes regularly dominate festival sets worldwide. That combination keeps crowds locked from intro to encore. Live, Crankdat thrives on unpredictability and momentum. His sets jump between explosive double drops, viral flips, and unreleased IDs. The result feels less like a concert and more like organized chaos.
The open-air venue has become a staple destination for major headline shows. Rawhide provides the perfect setting for maximum impact. Towering production rigs and desert night skies amplify the atmosphere, with every drop hitting harder under the twinkling stars. Fans should prepare for a crowd that shows up ready. Arizona’s bass community consistently delivers high-energy support for touring artists. Rail riders, pit starters, and late-night steppers all share the same mission: move hard, stay loud, and celebrate the music together.
This headline marks another milestone in Crankdat’s rapid ascent. His evolution from rising producer to global festival staple continues gaining momentum. Each show feels bigger, sharper, and more explosive than the last. This May at Rawhide should prove exactly why. The lights will drop, the subs will ignite, and hesitation will disappear quickly. Tickets for Crankdat’s Rawhide headline show are on sale now, so fans should lock theirs in early. It’s time to get cranked.
Monolink has spent the past month crossing the United States in support of his third studio album, The Beauty of It All. The 16-date run brought the German songwriter, producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist back to Summit Music Hall on February 24th. Monolink has maintained a steady relationship with the city, which has grown over the years. Denver audiences have followed his rise from a 2018 performance at Bar Standard to an appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2021 alongside RÜFÜS DU SOL, and a sold-out headline show at Summit in 2022.
Before Monolink took the stage, French duo Parallelle warmed up the room with a live set that immediately got the crowd moving. Performing material from their latest album, 11th Avenue, the pair blended live vocals, loop machines, and laptop production. Their layered, melodic grooves slowly got the crowd moving on the dancefloor.
By the time Monolink took the stage, Summit was packed wall-to-wall. Returning with a brand new stage setup, his performance blurred the line between a DJ set and a live concert. The night centered around The Beauty of It All. Its cinematic melodies and introspective songwriting translated seamlessly into a live setting. There was something for longtime fans as well. When the opening notes of “Sirens” and “Father Ocean” from his first album rang out, the crowd responded instantly, singing along as the tracks unfolded.
Across the two-hour performance, Monolink carefully balanced energy and intimacy. At times, the room pulsed with danceable rhythms, while other moments felt almost suspended in time. It was just him alone on stage the whole night. He delivered stripped-down vocals that hushed the crowd, standing with his guitar or seated at the piano.
If you missed Monolink on this run, don’t make the same mistake again. Stay up to date with everything he has coming next using the links below.
Last week, in an emotional post, Canadian duo Zeds Dead announced their 2026 Journey of a Lifetime Tour. Coming to Mesa Amphitheater September 18 + 19, as well as 11 other outdoor venues across North America, Zeds Dead promises new music, a larger production, and a brand-new stage design to take their fans on another unforgettable journey.
Zeds Dead shared, “‘Journey of a Lifetime’ is one of the first tracks we uploaded to the World Wide Web as Zeds Dead way back in 2009. 17 years later it feels like it was a prophecy. We might have not realized it at the time but we were in fact blasting off into space and leaving behind life as we knew it. This journey is your journey with us as well. We’ve grown up together and celebrated life. We’ve created a world together and the Journey of a Lifetime tour aims to be our most thorough exploration of it. This will be our biggest tour yet as it’s taking place in large outdoor venues and we’re going to make it the best show we can make. It will be the grand finale of everything we’ve been working on. It’s not the end though. To quote something we sampled in a beat once ‘Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.’ We’ll be taking some time off in 2027 so we’re going all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime. See you there.”
In those 17 years, Zeds Dead has truly created one of the strongest fan communities. Their tireless search for new artists and unique style has offered opportunities to feature new talent on their Deadbeats label and their biweekly radio show, Deadbeats Radio, lifting hundreds of artists into the spotlight. In addition, their uniquely curated events like the Backyard Jamboree, Deadbeats presents, and 10+ years of Deadrocks have allowed their community to gather year after year for the shared love of bass music.
Hearing that the duo will be taking a 2027 hiatus is almost bittersweet. On one hand, their music and energy will be missed. But on the other hand, we all know that when artists take a break, they come back better than ever. Look at Griz, for example, who, after his 2-year hiatus, returned with a brand new festival and a lot of new music!
As this tour is promised to be their biggest and most diverse show to date, tickets are sure to sell quickly. We’re also proud to report that Zeds Dead has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to supporting organizations expanding access to music education and other creative opportunities, such as providing instruments, software, and related resources.
