When\u00a0twin brothers\u00a0Blake and\u00a0Joel Atchison were growing up in Nashville, an electronic music scene didn’t exist.<\/p>\n
The city is known as an iconic bastion of country music, but at that time, the words “Nashville” and “EDM” were rarely used in the same sentence.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Atchison\u00a0twins spent their childhoods playing in the river and visiting record shops, until they snuck into the first-ever Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Little did they know, they would go on to play a pivotal role in the development of Nashville’s EDM culture as the innovative founders of\u00a0Deep Tropics<\/a>.<\/p>\n With backgrounds in sustainability, they always harbored a vision for fusing the worlds of environmentalism and music. In college, they studied agriculture, green energy and city planning and even received an EPA grant to run a biodiesel project that powered the Appalachian State buses.<\/p>\n
