For every great annual excuse to party, there exists a corresponding geographic locale that has established itself as the event’s official Ambassador of Raging. Rio de Janeiro has Carnivale. Times Square has New Years. Santa Barbara has Halloween. San Diego has the Fourth of July. Boulder has 4/20. Seattle has…..SEAFAIR. These hard-earned reputations emerge only after years of dedicated and documented partying, often requiring consistent local police intervention to truly affirm an event’s insanity. Seafair is no exception. To anyone familiar, the mere name evokes blurry memories of boats, booze, beads, and blatantly debaucherous festivities. Perhaps the largest combined gathering of boats and alcohol on the planet, this unruly celebration takes place every year at the end of July/beginning of August on Seattle’s beautiful Lake Washington. Thanks to a close TDOV associate who purveyed some of the music displayed below, TDOV had a front row seat at Seafair’s Hydroplane Races on a beautiful 100-foot yacht. These amazing party songs should help convey the awesomeness and utter insanity of the affair:

One of the best tech-hop mashes ever heard by a little-known but supremely talented DJ by the name of BEARBOT:

And here we have the also newly-emerging Milkman. This is the new direction of hip hop baby. If you don’t like it, you have shitty taste.

Light It Up – Milkman – 9.5/10

Give this one a second to drop. Milkman keeps it fresh on “Can’t Stop”
