Dreamscape 2016: Hear Music From Every Act Playing This Year’s Festival

–Words and list by Kevin Madert

You can feel it in the air. The sun’s a little warmer, the days a little longer, blizzpocalypses and snowmageddons all but forgotten. Spring has sprung (officially, if you doubt it) and for us in the musicsphere that means something wonderful: Festival season is upon us.

Our year is shaping up to begin with Dreamscape, the longtime Badass Raves brainchild that began as an indoor all-nighter known as Psychedelic Dreamscape before expanding last year to a two-day fest at secluded Camp Ramblewood in Darlington, MD. This year it’s a full-weekend affair, with three days of 11am-5pm music slated for May 5-8.

In the dual interest of channeling our anticipatory excitement and educating anyone who cares to listen, we’ve compiled a playlist to kick off our coverage of the festival. Organized into loose genre categories, it features every artist slated to perform* and is intended to acclimate readers to the lineup; plenty of in-depth writing on all things Dreamscape will follow.

You can check out the full lineup below – a solid offering encompassing several distinct genres – as well as hear our full-fest playlist. Follow us on Soundcloud for more of the same + guest mixes and interviews (coming soon). Grab tickets to Dreamscape right here; hope we see you there!

*(Not appearing are 1,000 Drunk DJs, BeGood, Cosmo, Dirty Kids, Dreamer, FAQ, Primordial, Rockso, Spacely, and Tantrum – you’ll just have to check them out in May to see what they’re all about)
