“Make
your own kind of music, sing your own special song. Make your own
kind of music, even if nobody else sings along.”
These
are the words that mark Alpha Data’s information page. However, I
doubt no one is not singing or dancing along to his beats.
So,
who is Alpha Data? Just your typical law student meets DJ. Wait,
what? Yes. That’s right. Alpha Data, or James Ristvedt is a law
student by day who balances his alter ego in the dirty electronic
beats he makes by night. Listening to his tracks, I was surprised to
find myself jamming writing this blog and having flash backs of
Excision-like sounds mixed with a little Glitch Mob.
Alpha
Data, emerging just a year ago, has delivered glitch-hop originals
and remixes that carried his first debut,Nefertiti,
to #1 on Beatports’ Glitch Hop list and #50 on their all genre
list. His fast break into the EDM scene has landed him at national
shows, opening for The Disco Biscuits and sharing the stage with
names including, Flux Pavillion and Shpongle.
F.O.E
Music Fest adds to his increasing list of festivals and shows and his
momentum in the scene doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

Last year on August 12-14 of 2011 Upstate Productions hosted its inaugural Music Festival called Freedom Of Expression Music Festival or F.O.E. Music Fest. It was set to be held in Pulaski New York. With this being a first year festival Upstate Productions was decided to move it closer to New York City to Sullivan County New York and a town called Barryville. The venue was called Kittatinny Canoe and Campground, right along the Delaware River over looking P.A. and N.J. Upstate Productions chose Kittatinny for its great attractions such as river trips, arcade, pool, paint balling and a dual 300 ft zip-line.
Last year Upstate Productions had head lining artists like Skerrit Bwoy Superstar DJ Keoki and Roots Collider. Freedom Of Expression Music Festival was unlike any other music festival in the Greater Hudson Valley area. With the motto "Feel Free To Be Free", Upstate Productions did not discriminate when it came to the genres of music. From Punk to Ska, Jam to Rap, House to Dubstep it was all there in a 3 day experience to be remembered. With about 700 attendees through the weekend this small local music festival was set for big thing especially two stages, one being Main Stage which was under a huge 120X60 circus tent and River Stage right beside the delaware river. With a light show for the ages and a sound system that would blow your ear drums if the bass was all the way turned up, the vibes at F.O.E. Music Fest. were incredibly peaceful and loving. Electronic Dance Music is on the rise and with the "Ravers" motto P.L.U.R. or Peace Love Unity and Respect Upstate Productions and the F.O.E. Music Fest. team embraced it and really tried to make the festival just that.
No info has been released about F.O.E. Music Fest 2 but stay tuned here to find out more. and Remember to "Feel Free To Be Free" #FOE2
