August 24th Weekly Roundup Feature
Hey! Happy August 24th! Hope you all are having a great week. I wasn’t able to get this post out Friday before I left for Summer Camp, so Tuesday it is! Next week, I’ll be attending Kosmic Kingdom Music Festival in Des Moines, Iowa so this post may be late again. Tune into The Festival Voice to keep up with the hottest tracks of the week!

Jake Bowen- Say Nothing feat. Abbi Press
Afterlife
Stephan Bodzin – Boavista (Innellea Remix)
To say Innellea has been on a prolific run of form over the past twelve months would be somewhat of an understatement. Laying claim to an abundance of internationally celebrated releases on the likes of Afterlife, Innervisions, Diynamic, and TAU to name a few, the boundary-pushing Munich-based producer has managed to carve out his own innovative sonic path since bursting onto the scene in 2016, and is rapidly making a name for himself as one of the most exciting, in-demand artists in electronic music.
