Psychedelic freaks MGMT (Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser) will be closing the Beach Stage at Mamby on the Beach on June 24th. MGMT are known for loud, reverb-laced, synth-driven psychedelia and their show is sure to be a mind trip. They’ve been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and sound not unlike a younger Flaming Lips. Don’t miss out on the freak-out.
Keep your mind open.

Swedish electro-pop duo Miike Snow (Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, and American singer Andrew Wyatt) make bright, shimmering songs that are rooted in vintage synthesizers and other electro gear. Part of their stage piece is a massive device known as “the Blob” that is a hodgepodge of synths, drum machines, and other cool stuff to avoid using laptops to make their music.
They’ll be playing the Beach Stage at Mamby on the Beach June 24th, and I’m sure their set will be a crowd favorite.

Philadelphia’s Marian Hill (Jeremy Lloyd and Samantha Gongol) got their name from combining the names of two characters from The Music Man. Lloyd’s slick production combines trip-hop with a bit of trance while Gongol’s vocals are torch singer meets soul diva. They’ll play the Beach Stage at Mamby on the Beach June 24th.

Chicago’s Rayvn Lenae is a teenaged R&B artist who is talented beyond her young years. Her blend of soul and electro is so smooth that you could practically ice skate on it. She’ll be playing the Beach Stage at Mamby on the Beach June 24th. I have a feeling her show will be one many will be talking about over the weekend and for years when she explodes into the mainstream.
Keep your mind open.

Will Clarke is a DJ from Bristol, England who puts down floor-shaking club beats with titles like “Booty Percolatin’.” I love how a lot of his stuff sounds like mid-1990’s rave material. He’ll be playing the Mixmag tent at Mamby on the Beach on June 24th in a midday set that I’m sure will be killer.

French DJ Tchami is the pioneer of music he calls “future house.” It’s not a bad description at all because he seems to mix stuff you’d hear in a disco with stuff you’d hear in the world of Tron. He’ll be closing the Mixmag tent at Mamby on the Beach on June 24th at 8:30pm.

Chicago’s Fancy Fux will be playing a 2:00pm set on the first day of Mamby on the Beach. They play a fun blend of house, hip hop, and dub. Their first big single, “Stripper,” is outstanding, and clips of their live sets look like a good time. They should be a fun start to the festival. Tickets are still available, by the way.
Keep your mind open.

Nine Inch Nails recently announced they’ll be releasing two EPs in the next seven to nine months. The two EPs follow the December 2016 EP Not the Actual Events, and the band says the three EPs are linked (but they haven’t revealed how they are). The first is scheduled before the start of their summer tour in July, and the next will be released “6 to 8 months” after that.
