To launch the 20th edition on Thursday night, one of the co-founders started shouting “Chaos Reigns!” into a microphone, refusing to stop until everyone in the theater stood up and chanted along with him. It was a great reminder of the spirit of this fest, one of community, and, well, chaos.

[ad_1] Sound Estate – “Talk It Out”-I don’t approve a lot of dance pop, so when I do it’s because it’s SO GOOD I couldn’t say no. This track from Sound Estate has some amazing soundscapes that intersect well with an intense beat. The whole production feels like it brings together sounds from the 70s through the modern day with highlights of a range of danceable styles.
