Camp Bisco has become a tradition these days, always anxiously awaiting the gathering of artists and strong vibrations that act as a climax of July. This year MCP Presents and The Disco Biscuits give you Camp Bisco 11, including a whole new Silent Disco experience, a fresh lineup of talent, top notch label showcases, fine vending, and a home away from home. This year’s must-see artists are, but not limited to, Amon Tobin: ISAM Live, Star Slinger, Archnemesis, Eliot Lipp (Live), Minnesota, Nit Grit. Abakus, Bonobo (DJ Set), MiMOSA, Thundercat, Blockhead, Hot Sugar, Shigeto, Ill-Esha, Mux Mool, Virtual Boy, StarkeyMindelixir, Space Jesus, Wobblesauce, and more. Also on the lineup, returning to ‘Camp’ as favorites, are The Disco Biscuits, Lotus, Break Science, Big Gigantic, Bassnectar, and Orchard Lounge. This festival includes all; the large campground provides a 3 day home for artists, music lovers, dancers, and creators. As you stumble upon new acts or set your schedule according to who’s playing where, you’ll also find yourself lost in tents with high energy crystals, indescribable paintings, and new friends. Camp Bisco is place to network, love, play, and be free. It allows you to free your mind, use your body and words, and gain new life tools. Electronic music is entering a new generation and Camp Bisco is a foundation. Come out to Mariaville, NY (20 minutes from Albany) and join the 11th anniversary party at Indian Lookout Country Club – July 12 to July 14.

I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing a rare Bookworm performance last summer at the Camp Bisco  Silent Disco in Mariaville, NY. What a treat it was! Bookworm has been working heavily with Two Fresh and their company LabCoat. He has also been a part of the lineup for many of Mindelixir‘s Bass Church events, playing with JokerMux Mool, Fast Nasty, Clicks & Whistles and more. In September 2011, he played a Blue Mood Productions event with Zeds Dead, Bonobo, and Phaeleh at the Valarium (Knoxville). As he continues to play more events and release new music, his fanbase grows immensely! 3/26/12 marks a new checkpoint for Bookworm; he releases his latest EP, Outnumbered by Colors: Saturation. Immediately after a few moments of track 1, vibes were set and I needed to share after fully listening and taking in his musical message. From downtempo drum & bass to downtempo 808s, this jazzy, anxiety-relieving EP is a guide to peaceful thinking. “The Breaks” opens the EP as a lovely prelude to “Book’s Theme“. I would fully recommend this to any who meditate, practice yoga, or who just appreciate beautiful soundscapes that blend with any type of future beat. “Book’s Theme” continues the vibe and even adds more emotion with his catchy synths. His interlude is soulful and refreshing; try to ease your mind! It works! After the minute-and-a-half long interlude, the BPM picks up a bit with “8BBS” – I call this mind expanding dance music! You can’t help but to move your body to the beat though the vibe stays ambient-like. “The Diver” reminded me of one of the artists we are working with, Illegitimate Children – dark and inspiring. This track is filled with love and emotion on a more darker side. Becky Ribeiro is featured on the closing track, entitled “Antidote“, one of the finest tracks I’ve heard in awhile. Bookworm adds heavier synths and a quality, full throttle drum & bass sound. I then thought of “Open Page“, a track featuring Lenzman and Riya, a similar  downtempo drum & bass tune. With the vocals of Becky Ribeiro added over the sound, it comes out to be very magical. Overall, Bookworm has produced a beautiful EP and on top of that, it’s FREE on labcoated.com!
