Fallfest line-up disclosed

?GRiZ, 3LAU and Chali 2na are set to take over Patrick Gym for this year?s annual Fallfest, hosted by UVM Program Board?s Concert Bureau. Grant Kwiecinski, better known by his stage name GRiZ, is a 23 year-old producer from Detroit, Mich. So far GRiZ has released one record, ?Mad Liberation? in September 2012, and is currently set to release his sophomore record ?Rebel Era? sometime this month.Despite the brief amount of time he?s spent on the electronic music scene, GRiZ has seen his status quickly rise as one of the most funky and creative producers around. His music features dubstep-influenced wobble bass (commonly known ?wubs?) and bass drops, while also maintaining a lighter funk oriented sound with acoustic instrumentation such as jazzy piano lines and saxophone riffs.3LAU, the stage name of Justin Blau, is another newcomer to the electronic scene. As a 21-year-old full-time college student at Washington University in St. Louis, he is sure to have little trouble connecting with the mostly student crowd at Fallfest.Pronounced like the German word for blue ?blau,? 3LAU?s sound is classic house. Check out his popular remixes on soundcloud.com/3lau to see what all the fuss is about.Chali 2na, pronounced like the mascot of tuna company StarKist ?Charlie Tuna,? is a well-respected MC famous for his work with legendary groups Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli.Fallfest will take place Sep. 28. Tickets are $10 for students, $25 for the public.
