Get familiar with Kaptain, a producer currently based in Denver whose music pulls from electro-soul, electro hip hop, future funk, and glitch hop to create a sound that is as hybrid as the culture itself. Stephen shares his perspective on why the Denver scene is so magnetic and conspicuous compared to other places, and we use Lightning in a Bottle as a case study to explore what makes West Coast festival culture different. We discuss our favorite Pretty Lights moments, the transformative nature of the music, how various dynamics from the "default world" manifest in our community, and how to maintain a healthy relationship with the scene. It doesn't take long for us to realize that our trajectories and experiences are almost familiar.
