Next weekend is one of our favourite annual events here in the Kootenays - the ultimate chilled out campout, ! The lineup is looking extra spicy this year and as always we're already dreaming of lazy afternoons at the floating stage, vibing out with the resident turtles 🐢. The stunning property and relaxed, intimate atmosphere always make this event feel more like a retreat than a rave, so if you're looking for a little getaway after a the last month of festivities, look no further 😉

From the forest of the west coast of BC, Mews was raised in the paws of festival culture. Her curiosity for music was ignited at a young age and she knew from early on that she needed to share this passion with the world.
Her sound is largely influenced by all types of bass music, predominantly coming from the UK, infused with rnb , hiphop, rap, dancehall and nostalgic dance floor anthems from her youth. Dissolving the boundaries between genres, you can count on her to get your body moving with earth shaking bass and warm heart tones.
She now graces the stages of festivals such as Wicked Woods, Shambhala and Rifflandia as well as events across Canada and beyond.💫
🌸Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, never running from a real fight, she is the one named Mews.🌸

See them live at Echo Peaks Music Festival in Nelson BC, April 25-27. Tickets on sale now- link in bio🎟️🏔️

Happy Friday, everyone! We made it through the week, and now only have to get through the last of this work day before we send it for the weekend💥💥💥 Today's artist feature is based around the man of the hour. Making his Nelson debut, we welcome none other than Von D himself!

Von D
Dub Stuy/Deep Medi

Von D is renowned for his ability to fill dance floors, fuse genres, and hold his own in collaborations with some of the biggest names in underground music.

With three albums and multiple EPs under his belt, he is also recognized for featuring exclusive and unreleased dub or dubstep tunes, alongside his own music. With regular shows in Europe, Asia, New Zealand, Australia, and nine tours in the USA, his world fan base is a testament to his skill.

Von D is on an increasingly prolific trajectory in recent times. Over the past two years, his music has appeared on legendary imprints such as Deep Medi, Zamzam, and Artikal Music UK, signaling his renewed focus on production.

The Fench producer is going back to his musical roots. He continues to evolve his style and sound, touring around and setting clubs on fire night after night.

We are so excited to host a show of this magnitude, and we hope everyone is as excited as we are! Be sure to scoop some of those last-minute tickets, as they are almost all gone! SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW ❤️

16/02/2024

We have almost made it through the week, and we're only 2 days out from this epic event! We are so grateful to host the legendary Von D, and to also have our good friend Shuka on direct support! Get to know, as this man is one of the undisputed legends of the underground bass music scene in Canada! Expect dubplates on dubplates for this one ⛽️💥

Shuka keeps focus around 140bpm. He regards his sound as a mix of Dubstep, Techno, Grime & 2 step. His sets bring a forward thinking approach to 140, paired with carefully selected classics. As a Dj, he’s known for bringing out fresh cut dubplates and playing all vinyl sets, as well as for his intricate mixing and blends.

Be sure to check out his Soundcloud (link in bio), and also to show the man support while he sets the tone for the evening this Saturday ⛽️❤️

14/02/2024

Today's artist feature is focused on our good friend and local taste maker Mraki. We have been following Megan for years, and can say with confidence that they are one of our favorite local djs! They have recently started producing their own music to boot, and we are gassed to hear some of the freshness on our HSD Sound rig this coming Saturday 💥

Mraki
Nelson BC
Kootaney Co-op Radio

Mraki is a multifaceted artist born & raised in the heart of the Kootenay mountains. Having been a part of the rave scene since a young buck, they've truly been around to experience the growth of the scene, including the evolution of their own musical finesse and contributions to the community.

Once Mraki finally jumped on the decks, things evolved in a steady fashion. Mraki finds passion in not just playing shows, but in creating a vibe & facilitating community in the Nelson area. From throwing a Hip-hop focused monthly fka boombap, to hosting a weekly radio show named [ unidentified ], to curating shows & gatherings all year round. Mraki is in it for the love of fam & music.

You can expect Mraki to play a diverse range of music that's dependant on the vibe. You can expect anything from a deep & melodical bass fueled journey packed w/ dub, rnb, downtempo & hiphop, to a high energy set fused w/ worldly likes of Baille, Amapiano, Dancehall, UK influenced Garage & 4x4 sounds, all with a little sprinkle of nostalgia. Mraki is a true curator & dancefloor connoisseur that has a flavor for any slot & vibe

Once again, tickets are almost sold out! So we would advise grabbing them asap, or they may be all gone! Hope everyone is having a great day 🙏

13/02/2024

Today we wanted to focus our feature on the live performance side of things! If you have been to a Nocturne show over the last several years, you will be familiar with the goddess that is Cornelia The Clown.

Cornelia is a multidisciplinary performer who has a passion for freestyle dancing to heavy bass music. She has a desire to amplify dance culture and call everyone into the language of movement. Catch her live on stage for this Saturdays legendary dubstep party featuring the one and only Von D, along side a slew of talented local producers and djs. Let's show some love for the one like Cornelia and let's get stoked for the weekend!

PS💥
Tickets are running extremely low, and we anticipate a full sell-out, so grab those tickets now or risk missing out!

Happy Monday, family 💥💥💥

Today, we wanted to show some love for our brother in bass and a true selecta in its entirety by the likes of Dubconscious ❤️

You may have caught a Dubconscious set at Shambhala (on either the Living Room Stage, in the Grove or at The Village), Bass Coast, Wicked Woods, Victoria Ska Fest or at any one of a number of prestigious nightclubs/venues across the Pacific Northwest. Raised on amens, reeses and ragga chat in Toronto's vibrant jungle scene, he now calls Nelson his home where he continues to weave sound tapestries coloured by his unique influences and handpicked sounds & styles - generally rooted in reggae / dub / soundsystem culture.

He just recorded a beautiful 30-minute mix, featuring all of the 140 sounds that we know and love from the taste maker Von D. Link to the mix in the comments💪

We hope you enjoy the mix, and hopefully, we rub shoulders at the upcoming event on February 17th at the Eagles Hall❤️

🌌 🌒 WIshing you all the peace and wubs this winter solstice!

For us, winter is all about the nights that last forever and warm, intimate dancefloors. There's so much magic that we share in the summers when we all come together at festivals and dance under the stars, but for us, there's something really special about the winter events season. It's when we come together in our communities, staying safe and warm and closer to home. It's where we get the space and time to reconnect, and share our love for music, our community, and the dance! 🖤 ✨ 👁️‍🗨️ 🎶
