wheel is to its desert skyline. I
danced along to Galantis’s uplift-
ing progressive house until it
was time to go meet Will Clarke,
who had played earlier that day.
Though I was still stuck in a car
during his live set, after perus-
ing his Soundcloud I can say
with certainty that Will’s British
accent is almost as delightful to
listen to as his music.
Lucky for me and anyone who
knows him, the dedication and
talent apparent in Will’s work,
combined with his normal dude-
ness, makes listening to him play
and listening to him talk equally
as nice. For example, he calls
Ibiza, Spain his second home
after spending five summers
there with a residency at the
nightclub Orange Corner, but
makes fun of his terrible Span-
ish. He’s been working with the
renowned Dirtybird for a year
now, and refers to the group as
a family in an industry where
people tend to focus mainly
on themselves. At Dirtybird,
he said, “everyone looks after
everyone.” He talked about how
he prefers to go with the flow of
an evening rather than plan a
show, and reminisced about one
night on his Australian tour dur-
ing which a one-hour set turned
into a six-hour set that led him
to stray from his usual house
music into the funky world of
disco. And he really likes what
he does. “Ninety percent of my
sets is my own music,” he said,
adding that a goal for this year is
to write enough music to pull off
a three hour set of just his own
stuff. Spoken like a musical pur-
ist, he acknowledged that all this
music likely won’t be released,
but it doesn’t bother him.
Living the life of a true rock-
star, Will was off at 6 a.m. the
following day to head for Detroit.
He’ll be back in our neck of
the woods to play Grasshopper
Underground with Billy Kenny
as part of the Will and Bill’s
Excellent Adventure tour. So if
you like good music that happens
to be house music that maybe
sometimes morphs into disco,
you should go. As the name sug-
gests, it’s going to be excellent.
Jack Ü ended day one with
just the kind of set I’d expect
from a duo whose members have
become some of the top authori-
ties in the electronic music world.
At this point in their careers, the
industry’s most bromantic part-
ners can pretty much do what-
ever they want, which, in an
exquisite display of ego, included
having Skrillex work the crowd
into an eager chant of “DIP-LO,
DIP-LO, DIP-LO…” just for fun-
sies. They seemed to be going for
audience recognition, dropping
in the screeching “call 911 now”
lyric from Skrillex’s “First Of The
Year” alongside Diplo’s twerk-
worthy “Express Yourself” and
working in songs by the likes of
Flux Pavilion, Kanye, Icona Pop
and Drake. Yes, like everyone
and their mother, Jack Ü sampled
“Hotline Bling” and “How Deep
Is Your Love,” which I’m really
hoping are two trends the new
year will put to rest.
I wrapped up my day with an
after party at a classic ski town
dive bar called Whisky Dick’s
(and yes, we made millions of
penis jokes throughout the eve-
ning because it’s fun to pretend
like you’re 12). Hippie Sabotage,
who played earlier that day,
went on to a relatively empty
room where everyone was hav-
ing a good time — not neces-
sarily because of the music.
That dynamic changed with
the gradual realization that we
just wanted our ears filled with
bass again, and the Hippie Sabo-
tage brothers—who individu-
ally go by So Crates and Sour
Beats —were giving us just that.
By the end of the performance,
the whole room felt the hype of
their better known remixes of
kiiara’s “Gold” and Tove Lo’s
“Stay High”, the latter of which
earned
them
international
attention after Ellie Goulding
posted about it on Instagram …
oh, the digital age.
It also earned them quite a bit
of record label trouble. The lovely
boys of Hippie Sabotage indulged
the
crowd’s
“one
moreeee!”
chant with a song called “They
Stole My Face and You’d Never
Know It,” a melodic attack on a
label contract gone wrong that
was deleted from the Internet
three hours after its original
posting. Essentially, the story
is that the label took all their
money after the success of “Stay
High” and prevented them from
releasing the music they wanted.
Anger was more than evident
in the way they screamed along
to their song: “Sold a million
records I ain’t got a cent … BURN
IT DOWN!” but I have to say, the
transition from vibey to pissed
off made for an excellent finale.
The
following
day
began
with a comedy/hip-hop set by
Lil Dicky who, as I was told by
friends who are more avid fans
than me, loves to poke fun at his
skinny Jewish-boy-ness. In my
limited research into his career,
I discovered that he went from
advertising executive to rap-
per, which probably explains his
move to get out in front of pos-
sible artistic critique with songs
full of irony about his own posi-
tion in the music industry. His
performance was top notch, per-
forming crowd favorite “Lemme
Freak” with the most earnest,
Oscar-worthy wide eyes that
almost made mine tear up from
laughing so hard. I was con-
vinced that he was convinced
that getting laid by the girl he’d
brought on stage (apparently
a common practice of his) was
the most important thing in the
world, and it kind of made me
root for the guy … though some-
thing tells me he doesn’t need
my good wishes to get lucky.
The whole world seemed to
slow down when Chet Faker
took over, and his set offered
a nice breather before the rest
of the evening found me run-
ning between various overlap-
ping sets. The whole venue was
small enough for my crazy plan
to mostly work, catching the
beginning of Alison Wonderland,
the middle of Kaskade and the
end of Autograf. Of course, the
problem was that by the time I
got to wherever I was going I
was confined to the outskirts of
the crowd, which was especially
torturous during Alison Wonder-
land’s set. She played a stage that,
thanks to a reappearing totem,
came to be known as the trap
tent … but by the time I got there I
WAS TRAPPED OUTSIDE THE
FUCKING TRAP TENT. Saying I
could barely hear the music is an
exaggeration, but I wanted her
to make my ears ring and while
a relatively small venue makes it
easy to hop around, it also forces
individual stages to be relatively
quiet so as not to overtake the
others.
Nevertheless,
a
wonder-
fully wide range of styles was
heard between the three stages
that night. Alison Wonderland
was a riot as always, stopping
the party for no man or pair of
pants. Kaskade got lots of love
for his smooth electro house
set—even from the painfully all-
ages crowd, who were no doubt
expecting some big room and
ridiculously massive drops. Like
a pro, he included enough main
stageworthy beats among more
refined tunes in a set that kept
everyone happy, from the gaggle
of 16-year-old girls whose moms
would pick them up and make
them dinner later, to the listener
who’s been with him throughout
his 20-year career. Elsewhere,
Autograf created a trippy-dippy
time capsule that transported
the festival’s only fully enclosed
stage back to the ’70s with their
distinctly Chicago house sound.
For Autograf, part of the ben-
efit of coming around post-’70s
is that we’ve already been given
Nirvana, which allowed the
trio to artfully weave a remix of
“Smells Like Teen Spirit” into
their set, alongside exceptionally
popular originals like “Dream”
and “Metaphysical.”
I was fortunate enough to
start the final day chatting with
Jackson Stell, aka Big Wild, who
developed the name about a year
ago with the idea of being adven-
turous in the sounds he explores
and creates. He’s certainly risen
quickly up the ranks, with over
100 shows under his belt from
2015, and plans to release either
an EP or an album by the end of
the summer.
“I’ve been focusing on mak-
ing a really special body of
work,” he said, excited about
his upcoming show-free three
months he intends to use to
work on the project.
Since he only plays his own
music, he has a limited amount
of songs he can choose from,
and is eager to increase the
flexibility of his live perfor-
mances while looking for new
sonic opportunities to give his
audience the feels.
“I’m trying to get an emotion
out of the listener, but I’m trying
to use sounds and a style that gets
it out in a unique way,” he said.

closers in the rest of Assaf’s

Aiming for an Oscar.
The brutal poetry
of ‘The Revenant’
DiCaprio film will
leave audiences
speechless
By JACOB RICH
Senior Arts Editor
“The Revenant” asks a lot of
its audience, but it gives so much
back.
Like all great
historical epics,
“The Revenant”
strikes a bal-
ance
between
mythology
and
realism.
Here,
Alejan-
dro
Gonzáles
Iñárritu (“Bird-
man”)
turns
the classic American myth of the
mountain men into an indulgent
treatise on the human animal.
In his West, humanity regresses
once more into pure instinc-
tual survival, and sheer brutal-
ity determines who receives the
bounty of the untouched wil-
derness. Centering on a conflict
between two men, “The Reve-
nant” paints a greater picture of a
lawless America.
Leonardo DiCaprio (“The Wolf
of Wall Street”) is Hugh Glass —
less a character and more anguish
incarnate. After being mauled
by a bear
on
a
hunting
expedition,
he’s left for dead
without food or supplies and must
travel 200 miles back to civiliza-
tion. His is a true story you may
have heard before — it’s been
retold many times in American
fiction and, more recently, shared
frequently on social media. His
beaten, pained struggle is depict-
ed intimately and ferociously.
While DiCaprio embraced his
slick, pretty-boy frattiness in
“The Wolf of Wall Street” to bril-
liant effect, he completely sheds it
here. You’ll forget about the kid in
“Titanic.” Regardless of whether
or not Leo gets the Oscar gold for
this one, he’s thoroughly demon-
strated his range.
His nemesis, John Fitzgerald
(Tom Hardy, “Mad Max: Fury
Road”), provides the perfect foil
to Glass’s legendary hero. Tom
Hardy has a hyper-masculine
gruffness in many of his mov-
ies, but the man has so much tal-
ent that he rarely treads familiar
ground. Whether he’s playing
Bane, Mad Max or Fitzgerald,
he’s a different enough badass to
remain thoroughly engaging. He
is truly one of the greatest lead-
ing men in the business, and his
turn here as a villain with pain-
fully human motives is one of his
greatest roles.
This is a two-and-a-half hour
epic. Human pain and suffering
are a constant, and the utter bru-
tality of it all is often tough to sit
through. What’s so special about
the violence in this film, though,
is that it never feels like movie
violence, like that in “The Hateful
Eight.” There’s a time and place
for over-the-top gore, but the
decision to keep the violence real-
istically horrifying adds so much
to “The Revenant” ’s impact. A
Tarantino revenge picture this is
not.
But the key to this film is not
the
immaculately
sequenced
battle scenes, as impressive as
they are. It’s the immaculate
portraiture of the American
West performed by cinematog-
rapher Emmanuel Lubezki (who
also worked with Iñárritu on
“Birdman”). Each frame of this
film is masterful nature photog-
raphy. And like a lion curled up
on a warm rock, Lubezki lingers.
And lingers some more. Instead
of assigning nature a nihilistic
hopelessness like in “The Hate-
ful Eight,” Lubezki’s nature is
imbued with religious purpose.
It’s an indulgence in the instinc-
tual human affinity to nature.
Rarely has a film felt so present in
its setting. In the time you spend
with “The Revenant,” you will be
there. It won’t be comfortable.
The procession out of my
showing
of
“The
Revenant”
could only be described as a
funeral dirge. Never have I seen
a more silent crowd shuffling out
of a packed theater. Take that as
you will.
