Karen Kane Music Festival Good Times!

We had a blast at the Karen Kane Music Festival last weekend!! What a wonderful day full of awesome music and heartwarming stories about illustrious mixmaster Karen Kane. We realized we have spent over 80 hours with Karen in her dark studio!! She worked her magic on both Emotional Bootcamp and Loud and Clear. We nearly drove her crazy with our pickiness over every single detail, yet she agreed to work with us again and we’ve become good friends. We wish her the best!
