We’re like it depends on the night. A club can be hip hop one night in New York but the club morphs every night depending on what act and crowd they’re trying to bring in.

STS9 a five piece electronic-jam act incorporates fat beats jazz and funk fusion to create an aura of sounds that transport the listener to a futuristic science-fiction world of pure bliss. Their out-of-this-world light show only aides the journey to these far-off reaches of inner and outer space. Those who return from these journeys tell tales but only through first-hand experience can one truly appreciate them. ther acts on the ballot that were praised by attendees were Cornmeal a band that’s steadily blurring the boundaries between jam and bluegrass; Shpongle a techno-blend of organic ethnic tribal music; and Les Claypool a man who singlehandedly keeps the experimental rock genre on its toes by pushing the limits past the unknown and then some.
