DJ CJ: Geordie Greep!

DJ CJ: And I just have one question for you, it’s quite simple or you know, as complex as you want to make it, but it’s what does music mean to you?

Geordie Greep: Ah, it’s the best thing in the world you know,

DJ CJ: Yeah!

Geordie Greep: it’s like pure expression you know

DJ CJ: Mhm.

Geordie Greep: its something that you try to imitate nature and imitate the universe, but also it’s like why does certain music sound good and sound bad, it’s like a mystery you know.

Festival Coverage

Hopscotch 2025: In Review

Post author By WKNC Admin

Hopscotch 2025 was action-packed with an intensity that did not settle until the final note was played. From day parties to the main stages, there was no lack of entertainment downtown Raleigh this year. Let’s break it down day by day with some personal experiences of mine sewn in!

Day one of Hopscotch kicked off with the WKNC Day Party at D.H. Hill Library. Paperbrains opened the festival with a bang! After their set, it was off to the main stages for the day. I spent the majority of the day at Moore Square, seeing artists like MIDS, Frog, and Unwound. The stars of the stage for the day, in my opinion, were MIDS. They were the stage opener, and they set the bar high. The energy was unmatched.
