20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."

Chicago’s electronic rock stalwarts Future Rock continue to pound out pulsating beats with the verocity of a 70's era rock band. Outside of hometown Chicago, they may be best known for high profile and excellent remixes of Daft Punk, Neon Indian, Black Moth Super Rainbow and DFA 1979. Back home they are justly celebrated for legendary performances such as their set at Wicker Park Fest that turned the entire neighborhood into a vast and energized dance floor, forcing even the palest and most resolutely hard-to-impress hipsters to call up their inner dance monsters. Live performances combine loops, samples and Mickey Kellerman's keyboards with Darren Heitz's drums plus Felix Moreno's Larry Graham-style bass slapping to create an enormously powerful groove. Their light show is as good as their music, and their set have been known to inspire dance frenzies.

Nora En Pure is the deep house & indie dance music sensation that is rippling through the sonic sphere with her beautiful blend of electronic beats.

A core member of the Helvetic Nerds group, Nora leads listeners out of the darker realms of deep house with intricate instrumentals and enlightening melodies. Every track she gets her hands on turns to gold and every performance she gives leaves the audience in awe. 

Gracing the decks of some of the most revered dance music spots over the years, Nora has played sets at the likes of Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa Ibiza, Mysteryland USA and held residencies at the world's largest club Privilege Ibiza and Marquee Dayclub Las Vegas. Touring relentlessly all over the globe to bring her scintillating sound to as many countries as humanly possible, her loyal and ever-growing fan base is scattered all across the planet. 

Meeting many career milestones over the past two years, 2016 saw Daniela deliver her breathtaking BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. In 2017 she delivered a long list of sensational releases, including her diverse 4-track 'Conquer Yosemite' EP, funk-driven cuts 'Waves' and 'Fever', and touching creations 'Tears In Your Eyes' and 'Trailblazer'. Making her debut at Coachella and being the only female artist to play Tomorrowland's Mainstage Daybreak Session, she closed the year on an all-time high. 

Striding into 2018, Nora landed her own weekly Purified radio show on SiriusXM Chill and hosted her first Purified Miami Music Week Opening Party. Her first track of the year 'Sphinx' rapidly became a fan favourite and led her around the world on her Sphinx Tour. With a long list of festival appearances on the horizon, including Panorama Festival NYC, both weekends of Tomorrowland, Purified Love Mobile at Street Parade Zürich and her debut UK festival performance at SW4, Nora En Pure continues to impress with every move she makes.

Lotus has crafted a unique musical style outside of simple genre limitations. On a given weekend the band could be the only group with guitars at an all electronic music festival and then the next night crash a traditional rock festival with their dance heavy beats, synths and samples. Equal parts instrumental post-rock and electronic dance, the band's distinguishing feature is the ability to maintain a decidedly unique musical voice and remain current while bucking passing trends.

No matter what the venue, the energetic joy and catharsis of a Lotus show is infectious. The band slowly built a devoted fan base through steady touring and the crowds have grown at an increasing pace. This grassroots growth has made the band in high demand for festivals including Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Ultra, and Rothbury and earned the band sold out shows at the country's premier theatres and clubs.
