For part 2 of our 3 part series from Center of Gravity 2012, we interview Miami Horror, Yelawolf and Morgan Page from the Main Stage hear a bit about their favourite festival stories, sports they’d play if they weren’t musicians, and a bit about what makes the Okanagan so Awesome.
Music by West Indian Girl, their song “Blue Wave (Morgan Page Remix)”

Happy First Day of May tomorrow! You may very well remember our last summer Mixtape, The Big Wet Canadian Summer Mixtape, and if you're anything like us you crave that perfect collection of songs to pair with a flawless summer day. We've made this mix 30 minutes longer and added a third side this time around, our longest mix to date! So what if it's barely May, it's been spring for 6 weeks. We're all wearing shorts and sandals already even if it's only in our minds. This summer we're excited to work with Cariboo to present the The Hot and ...
Let's not call it denial, (that's such an ugly word) let's just say, even though winters in the Okanagan are both beautiful and great excuses to hit the mountain, we still reminisce about driving with the windows down. This is our ode to Vitamin D, the A-OK Endless Summer; articles from and inspired by golden rays and longer days.
Music is a huge part of us and what we do. We genuinely believe that life has a soundtrack, and if you're having trouble finding yours, don't worry we are more than willing to share ours! These are tracks we love, events we were at, artists playing the region and other things Canadian that define our culture. The internet works just like magic! You can subscribe to A-OK Mixcasts in iTunes and have them delivered to you as soon as they're posted. Ready to go when you are, take your culture anywhere. Curated by Brandon William Fletcher and JGirl.
