Scroll down to sample The Motet and Recess.

Since 1998, The Motet have inspired the world with their unique style of dance music. Over the course of nine full-length albums, they’ve traversed the lines between funk, soul, jazz, and rock and built a diehard audience in the process. They’ve headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre six times and soldout countless legendary venues coast-to-coast.

In addition to racking up nearly 20 million total streams and views, the group has also garnered widespread acclaim from numerous publications including Relix, Glide Magazine, and AXS. The band hasalso graced the stages of festivals such as Bonnaroo, Bottlerock, Electric Forest, Bumbershoot, Summer Camp, and High Sierra.

Recess blends their funk backbone with swanky bass lines, bouncing old school beats, smooth guitar, and biting spacey synthesizer leads to take the listener on a methodical musical journey meant to touch on as many genres as possible.

Since forming in 2014, Recess has spent countless hours in the studio perfecting their sound, as well as performing live shows centered around a playground of improvisation and their intrinsic love for music. The duo, comprised of Denver, Colorado-based guitarist and producer Drew Birch and keyboardist and producer Ian Gilley, have conjured a genre-bending sound, which channels everything from EDM to jazz and hip-hop.

DJ Moldybrain is the Charleston, SC based project of Jared Aaronson. With a wide array of influences from all over the globe, his mixes tend to span many genres (tech house, disco, dubstep, hip-hop to name a few) and find harmony in big moving soundscapes. Tailored to fit their environment in real time, each set is unique and curated to uplift. Over the past decade, MB has shared stages with the Motet, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Moon Hooch, Little Stranger, LouLou of Thievery Corporation and many other national touring acts. In 2022, he was voted DJ of the year in the Charleston City Paper.
