People of the Rave Community

Hey everyone,

So had to do a video. This one is just talking to different people from the community and interviewing them about different aspects of the community.

Electronic Dance Music & Moonstruck Munkey

Hey everyone, so another part of the assignment was to complete an audio slideshow with narrative (pictures that play in sequence with someone talking).

I chose to interview and photograph an up-and-coming artist, Moonstruck Munkey (aka Kyle Woolley). Munkey was super awesome to work with, though I had to drastically cut down on the actual interview as it was almost 5 times longer then the assignment needed it to be! We touched on the rave community, and how Munkey got into the rave community and became an artist. He's actually opened for quite a lot of shows in Edmonton, loves a variety of genres of EDM, and is also a promoter for Peep This Entertainment. If he could preform whatever he wanted it would be a combination of "hardstyle with experiemental trap and dubstep" (which is pretty amazing but maybe I'm biased because I personally have a love for all artists that are hardstyle, trap and dubstep).

Munkey and his girlfriend are super adorable, and if you frequent EDM shows in Edmonton you will definitely run into them. They both really embody what PLUR is all about, and keep the good vibes that are so vital to the rave scene alive. 

The music in the background of the slideshow is a track that Munkey created as well (though I had to butcher it a little bit to make it fit with the slides). Please go check him out on Soundcloud!
