]]> The annual GRIDLIFE Midwest festival is back for 2023 and with it brings a killer lineup and a high energy motorsports competition in South Haven, Michigan from June 2-3, 2023. GRIDLIFE is a one of a kind event that combines motorsports and dance music to bring top of the line production alongside a sport that brings good vibes and high energy. Here is everything u need to know about GRIDLIFE Midwest:

The Festival

The annual GRIDLIFE Midwest festival will bring killer dance music acts like Subtronics, Wooli, Sullivan King, and QURL, among many more. By day the event is a motor sports festival where hundreds of professional and grassroots drivers will take the racing track to show off their skills, with the music festival coming to live each night.

Tickets for the festival start at $175 for general admission with VIP starting at $295. Camping is also available onsite, but will require a camping pass which you can also get on the ticketing website. Grab tickets to GRIDLIFE Midwest here. You can also sign up to drive at the event through the website, though there may be some additional requirements.

Getting There

GingerMan Raceway is located just a few miles East of South Haven, Michigan which is right on the Eastern shores of Lake Michigan. You could easily get there in a couple of hours if you drove from Chicago, Detroit or Grand Rapids, which are probably the best airports to fly into if you're coming from out of state. Since the raceway is so close to South Haven, you can search for hotels anywhere in the area and get there in just a short drive or rideshare ride if you choose not to camp.

What to Wear

Since GRIDLIFE Midwest is a racing festival combined with a music festival, I can't think of a better place to channel ur inner Tokyo Drift girly. I'm thinking lots of racing flag print, flame print and Y2K for this one. I'll link some outfit ideas below.

]]> If there's one thing KAR POW knows, it's what it requires to get a crowd going and keep them on their toes. After coming up in the Detroit area, KAR POW got her start as a DJ with the intention not to get into any one genre, but to deliver a set that flows together while maintaining an element of surprise. In preparation for her set at GRIDLIFE Midwest, a motorsports music festival happening in Southaven, Michigan from June 3-5 this summer, we caught up with KAR POW on what inspires her sets and what her festival fashion favorites are for 2022. 

savormeditation: Tell us a bit about your live sets and what the audience can expect at GRIDLIFE Midwest?

KAR POW: At the moment, I’m really into hard techno (so that). But I never want to put myself, my music, or mixing into a box. I’d describe my sound as raw, emotive and intense. Expect to go hard. Expect to have fun. Expect to dance your face off. But I also hope you feel it in your heart and soul — that's the cherry on top!

iHR: What got you into DJing?

KP: At shows and festivals, I’d always find myself trying to figure out exactly what the DJ was doing on stage. What started as a fascination turned into a fierce love for the art of DJing, but it took me years to finally say fuck it and go for it. Having a creative outlet and playing house parties for friends were my original intentions and things kind of escalated from there. DJing is now an obsession.

iHR: Can you tell us a bit about your upcoming projects? Are there any releases in the pipeline?

KP: Yes! Original music and fashion line coming in 2023. Can't wait to release all these ideas that have been living in my head.

iHR: When it comes to your rave or festival style, how do you approach creating a look?

KP: Comfort over everything, especially if I’m performing at the festival. If I feel comfortable, then I’m more likely to feel sexy and confident and kill it on stage. If that means a see-through bodysuit, cool. If that means a baggy t-shirt, also cool. Most of my closet consists of black or camo prints, but I borrowed this savormeditation-worthy dress from my Wifey just for the occasion!

iHR: What rave fashion trends are you most excited to see this festival season?

KP: Not really a trend, but I love seeing individuality shine through fashion, especially at music festivals. Those who choose to be themselves unapologetically and wear whatever the hell they want — that’s what's up!

iHR: If you made a piece of kandi today what would it say?

KP: Fuck with me or don’t!

iHR: Favorite festival memory?

KP: Seeing Alison Wonderland play at Electric Forest in 2015 is hands down my favorite festival memory. She left everything on that stage and, in my opinion, that kind of performance sets the bar. It was so lovely, leaving that set feeling so inspired and empowered — and that’s what I strive to do for others as well!
