Last Saturday’s wet weather didn’t dampen spirits at the Rastafari Ancient Living Arts & Kulture Festival in Black Mountain.

SoundTrack Web Extra: Quetzatl at The Hookah Bar
Quetzatl is a veteran of the electronic music scene, and it showed with how tight and perfectly executed his set was. The years have, thankfully, not translated into an evolution of sound that is inaccessible or overly polished. His sound is gritty, but not from a lack of production savvy. It’s an approach that transcends the myriad genres that have been born from the electronic scene, and instead layers elements of different styles upon one another.
