He’s made conscious hip-hop as one half of Oakland duo Zion I for a decade, gaining widespread respect for his production in the Bay Area and elsewhere. Now beatmaker Amp Live has prepared a solo album, Electrowonderland vol. 2: Murder at the Discotech, which is described on Zion I’s website as a mix of hip-hop, dubstep, electro, and indie. The album will feature guest vocals from Zion I frontman Zumbi, Grouch & Eligh of Living Legends, and a slew of other rappers and vocalists. It is set for release March 16th via Child’s Play.

Until then, listen to his remixes of five tracks — one of which features Zumbi — from Why?’s latest album, Eskimo Snow. They are available for download here. Also take a gander at the video for the single “Gary is a Robot”, which features a very Flight of the Conchords-style dancing robot and a provoking obituary.

But that won’t be the only act of note offered at this year’s festival, which is scheduled from October 23-24 at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in San Bernardino, California.

Slipknot, Deftones, Pennywise (minus its frontman), Method Man & Redman, and Kottonmouth Kings head the festivities, while Bad Brains, Immortal Technique, K’Naan, and Mix Master Mike are all also scheduled to make an appearance. Also confirmed will be reunions by Goodie Mob, The Geto Boys, Hieroglypics, and Living Legends. Oh and of course, Cheech and Chong will be hosting the event. Find the complete lineup here.

And as the name indicates, the festivities will also included a number of non-musical, cannabis-themed events, such as a medical marijuana expo, vendor village, and massive munchie gardens.

Pre-sale tickets will be available beginning Wednesday, September 9th. The general public will get its opportunity on Saturday, September 12th. Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com will be the places of purchase.
