As the countdown to Mamby ticks down, GREEN VELVET visits the beachside festival grounds to reminisce on his career and his excitement about performing in the city for the 25th Anniversary of Relief Records. In anticipation of his takeover at the Mixmag Tent, we caught up with the acclaimed house legend to hear about his musical beginnings, Windy City history, why he started Relief Records, and the meaning behind his upcoming celebration at Mamby. Watch the documentary below.

Once again, Mamby’s More Than Music Series will offer a variety of free activities for attendees, which is one of the things that makes the festival a truly unique experience. This year attendees will enjoy even more activities from wellness workshops, Nadi yoga sessions and beach-friendly games, to other inclusive forms of expression including live painting, fire performances, tarot card and palm readings, along with meticulous art installations created by Chicago’s Bam Creates collective. For those looking to get pampered or up their festival fashion, the Braid Bar, Henna and Body Art Domes and the Red7 Salon “Beach Beauty Oasis” are a must.
Returning to Oakwood Beach will be a one of a kind Burning Man favorite, the Solarbeatz Art Car. Standing as the “ultimate exhibition of clean energy,” the Solarbeatz Art Car is a mobile soundstage and performance venue fueled by an array of electronics to create an outrageous audio-visual experience all powered by the sun! Over the course of the weekend, the Art Car will host a wide assortment of activities including silent disco yoga along with wellness workshops. A full event schedule will be released soon.
As the “More Than Music” experience continues to grow, Mamby also partnered with Young Chicago Authors (YCA) for curated live poetry and open mic performances.
