It’s Wednesday which means festival happenings officially begin TODAY!
Our beautiful CMKY headquarters will be open today at 4pm until 9pm. Located in downtown Boulder at 1825a Pearl Street, HQ provides a full information hub with festival staff present to answer your questions. You can pick up and purchase festival passes there, as well as tickets for the Bus to the Bunker Party. If you have already purchased a ticket from one of our retail locations, you can bring it to HQ to get your photo taken for a pass. At headquarters you can also find out about renting one of our bikes, just check out the bike station with Andrew Sieving! Other things that can be found at HQ: merchandise, Boulder tourist info, and excited bunnies!
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we will be running DJ Boutiques from 2 to 7pm which feature other local crews of electronic artists. In staying with our namesake, we think it’s important to include as many of our fellow artists as possible in the process of throwing such a huge event, so we’ve invited three local Denver crews to come spin records at HQ while people are there to pick up passes and information. On Thursday we’ve got Spellbound Music joining us with music provided by Ejay, Mathyou and Khalib. Plastic Sound Supply, one of the sponsors of the 2009 festival, will be rocking it on Friday night with Scaffolding, c.db.sn, and Cacheflowe. And on Saturday, Mother Earth Sound System, a sometimes collaborator with CMKY, will provide the beats with Scott Everett and Trip Coffin. We’re psyched to have these crews keep the beats coming throughout the weekend!

We also hope that you will join us tonight for a warm up to the week’s festivities, with the Wednesday Nightcap at the Bombay Bistro in downtown Boulder! It is free and open to the public, intended to warm everyone up for the Communikey Festival launch that begins tomorrow night at BMoCA! Join us for a night of disco grooves and dubby techno with Ivy (Blackbridge), Roy England (Make Mistakes, Denver), and Ejival (Static Discos, Tijuana) who played for us last year at the Unsung Heroes showcase at the b.side Lounge. Come out and meet the Communikey crew, mix and mingle with other festival goers, and prepare for the crazy festival week ahead!
