October is looking mighty fine for DMV residents. Luna Light Festival – set for October 1-4 at Camp Ramblewood in Darlington, MD – just improved an already impressive lineup with jamtronica pros Papadosio, jam-rockers Tauk, and the funktastic Motet, among others. These acts will join Michal Menert, Keller & The Keels, Dopapod, Ott., Desert Dwellers, and many more for an early fall weekend full of great music, live art, and informative workshops.
Dreamscape Festival Day 1 Recap + Photos
–Written by Kevin Madert
Over the weekend, the annual event known as Dreamscape experienced a plethora of firsts in its fourth year of existence. It was the first year Badass Raves chose to expand the event into a two-day festival. As a result, it was also the first time Dreamscape called Camp Ramblewood home, allowing attendees to pitch tents and spend the weekend in rural Darlington, MD. Perhaps most relevant to this write-up is the fact that it was the first time I attended a Dreamscape – after the weekend I had, it certainly won’t be my last.
Ended up parked all the way in the back of Camp Ramblewood. Nice view though.

Dreamscape Festival Local Spotlight
–Written by Kevin Madert
Dreamscape is fast approaching, and we can’t wait to join Badvss Raves and all of you at Camp Ramblewood May 8-10. In the days leading up to the festival, we’re hoping to get you better acquainted with some of the artists playing the festival; if you read about them here on the AltFreq page, you should definitely catch their performances at Dreamscape.
2Rip
The fearless leader of Badass Raves since its inception (sometime in the late Jurassic period), 2Rip is equal parts man, myth, and legend. With over a decade of DJing experience under his belt in myriad genres catching one of his sets a bit like playing Russian roulette, with all six shots replaced by your new favorite songs. Nothing but respect from AltFreq for this scene staple and local legend; that sunrise set in particular shouldn’t be missed. Set times: City Of Dreams, 3:00AM-4:00AM Saturday; Pool Stage, 5:30AM-7:00AM Saturday
