• Skrillex and Bonnaroo Share 7-Part SuperJam Documentary Featuring The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Zedd, Damian Marley, Thundercat and More [WATCH]

    Bonnaroo took a big risk when it booked Skrillex to lead a "SuperJam," one of the unique aspects of the festival where an artist curates a massive collective of disparate artists from either the same genre or different ones to come together and play a variety of songs, generally covers. But, by all accounts, his was one of the most successful at the festival as he managed to blend electronic music with hip-hop, rock and reggae, calling upon artists from all across styles and decades. AT&T teamed up with Bonnaroo to put together a seven-part documentary about the making of the Skrillex SuperJam and the meeting of the minds that included Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead; Robbie Krieger, guitarist for The Doors; A$AP Ferg; Thundercat; Big Gigantic; Warpaint; Zedd; Janelle Monáe; Damian Marley; and many others.

  • 'Guardians of The Galaxy' Soundtrack and Mexican Songwriter Cuco Sánchez Dominate Underground World of Cassettes during 2014

    Everyone knows that vinyl sales are growing at an absurd rate, making up an estimated 2 percent of total music sales during 2014 (it doesn't seem like much, but it's growth is remarkable considering the drop off in total album sales, physical or otherwise). So how about the other cult format? Cassette sales aren't quite seeing the same resurgence as vinyl (because, frankly, it's a crappy if romantic format). It's still seen a boost in interest during the last year however, led by the thematically appropriate Guardians of The Galaxy soundtrack and a release from Mexican songwriter Cuco Sánchez.

  • Skrillex & Bonnaroo Share Superjam Documentary Teaser Featuring The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Zedd & More [WATCH]

    Skrillex likes to do things differently. Whether it is building crazy spaceships, creating new sounds that everyone will copy or playing superjams at Bonnaroo with a ridiculous array of guests, the "Dirty Vibe" producer is always looking forward.

Bonnaroo and AT&T have teamed up to put together a new documentary about the superjam and they have just released the trailer for it.
