Spring Awakening 2015 Preview: 3 "Don't Miss" Sets


Summertime in Chicago is just about here, so you know what that means, right? MUSIC FESTIVAL SEASON! Is it just me, or does Chicago host more music festivals than any other city in the world? Seeing that I rarely go outside the city limits, I'm going to go ahead and say the answer to that question is YES!

The gateway to the summer festival season in Chicago for the past few years has been the EDM extravaganza, Spring Awakening, held at Soldier Field, and this year is no different. Spring Awakening is back and bigger than ever. The line-up features a "who's who" of the EDM world. Diplo, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Afrojack...you name it, Spring Awakening's got it!

Spring Awakening 2015 is a three-day smorgasbord of electronica,from June 12-14, with different headliners closing the show each night. Even the newbiest (word?) of EDM fans know to stick around for the Midwest debut of Jack U (Diplo and Skrillex's super group), but what deeper sets should an EDM virgin check out? That's where the mighty QB comes in to help.

Here are 3 non-headlining sets, 1 from each day, that if you truly call yourself an EDM fan, you'll stick around for. You're welcome.

POOF: Snow


Welcome to another edition of Poof. This week's subject is none other than the ivory Canadian reggae man, Snow. Yeah, you heard me, Snow. I bet you didn't think you would hear that name mentioned outside of a cheesy VH-1 nostalgia/countdown shows about forgotten fads from the '90s. Let's begin, shall we.

Follower Critique: Fantom - Missing You


Well, lets just hope this edition doesn't hurt too many feelings.  Let's just say I lost a couple of followers after my review of LoveRaychelMusic. Ah well, all I can do is tell the truth.

The Twitter follower I am critiquing this week is a hip-hop artist that goes by the name of Fantom (@Fantomtime).  According to Twitter, Fantom is from Canada, continental home to Drake and the OVO family.  From that aspect, Fantom has some big footprints to follow in, but for the most part, this kid has potential.
