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.

20TH CENTURY FOX

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.
