With a vibrant foundation in the passionate sounds of classic soul, producers Noah Marion and Harrison Watkins have ventured to create a sound that is both cutting-edge and nostalgic.Strong dedication to electronic production and a rich background in musical composition and performance spurred Marion and Watkins to create Proper Motion in Boulder, Colorado in 2011. From the beginning, the product was an exciting and heartfelt sound that has since come to be called FutureSoul. It is based on the idea that in this quickly changing, brave new future of EDM, there will always be the human core, exemplified here through soul music, that creates an emotional bond with what we hear, feel, and do.Since its genesis, Proper Motion has earned themselves loyal followings in a number of markets, toured throughout the Southeast and the Rocky Mountains, and shared the stage with incredibly talented artists like Break Science, GRIZ, Chali 2na, PANTyRAiD, Big Gigantic, Lotus, Beats Antique, and many more. 2013 will bring the release of their second full-length album, titled “Soul Food”, along with a number of shows in both new and established markets. With optimism and feverous dedication, the group takes a step forward into the latest chapter of Proper Motion.BackseaTherapyHip-hop fans that are weary of trendy, overly produced, beat-of-the-week MCs deserve better. Denver based BackseaTherapy is the lifeblood of Colorado’s sustainably thriving hip-hop community. Acknowledging quintessential roots from rhythm ‘n’ blues to fusion jazz, this amalgamation of influences breeds fresh beats that are refreshingly distinct, contributing to the exciting resurgence of the conscious hip-hop movement.  The duo of Christopher Williams and Robert Thomason represents over twenty-five years of collective musical experience.

With Thomason on turn tables and Williams groundbreaking rhymes the two take the musicality of their collective pasts with sincere conviction to bring you something entirely organic.
