Flosstradamus has been the hum of the hive lately with the original duo’s split and Autobot’s final form as the leader of the HDYNATION. After the amicable split between Chicago natives, Flosstradamus is stirring the pot within the electronic and trap music community with waves of anticipation. With a deep connect to the fan base, and high tension due to recent events, each release from Floss’s bank of bass heavy bangers has been greeted with sighs of relief. The announcement of Flosstradamus’ return to Colorado’s Red Rock’s Amphitheater has ignited some salivating excitement.
Those who who have not attended a performance do not really understand what all the hype is about, but those who have know what is to come. The HDYNATION includes the HDY lifestyle; a culture that has evolved over the last ten years and has put emphasis on collaborating ideas and styles between the producer and audience. Social media has been key in facilitating these interactions, and creating a fan base that is inclusive, laid back, and open-minded. Part of their open-mindedness includes the support of recreational marijuana, which is probably why the HDYNATION has one of their biggest get-togethers in a state that has legalized it.
The open philosophy is also what spurns the creativity of the performance aspect of Floss’s music. A partnership with Virgil Abloh, the dude who Kanye West collaborated with to create his set up for his Yeezus tour, is who helped create last year’s tour theme that was centered around a jagged and grueling post apocalyptic vibe that truly went above and beyond any other DJ’s LED screen set up. The theatrical elements of Flosstradamus’ electronic and trap music performances are what keep pulling in more and more fans.
Red Rocks is a unique venue that was used for the event last year as well. It is a natural amphitheater that was historically used by native tribes as a meeting place. Now you can see many different types of performances here and still be close to nature. I have had the pleasure of attending a few shows here in the past, and I felt that event staff are very professional.
Now for the details! The line up includes What So Not, Gryffin, and Branchez. Tickets for pre-sale are available at 10 AM MST on Monday 1/30 and will be available to the general public at 10 AM MST on Friday 2/3.
