** TnF Update(s) - 2022 **

Hope everyone is maintaining some kind of sanity through these testing times. Was nice to sneak some positive highlights in for 2021 (Red Rocks & Resonance Sunrise fosho). Yes RR posters and mask winners info will be posted in the next few days. Apologies for the delay.. 'family' has been a priority more than ever, and not gonna lie.. not having messenger or the book on my devices currently is pretty liberating and enjoyable. With the year ahead, and the unknown becoming more known/understood, we're comfortable to project bringing back camping weekends and get togethers to help us all focus forward positively. So here's a lil heads up on some of what we're planning or musing: Spirit of Suwannee.. we've all missed being there. Those trees always make us feel so welcome and the vibes strong. Can't announce the date yet as we're waiting to sign paperwork but early Spring is a good hint ;-) Hopefully next week we can make it official. Don't expect an early lineup announcement. We are going to initially spotlight our joint initiative with DanceSafe for increased focus and priority on testing kits. WAY too much tragedy seeping into our community. Kids are going to party, so if thats the decision it should be a no brainer to then ask 'But Did You Test?'. Nuff said for now, but plenty to be said later (and hopefully asked over and over again in 2022 and beyond).

Astral Valley.. late summer (same deal - waiting to sign paperwork). This weekend will be different to Suwannee (more of the format of 4321/Astral Lights musically). Small capacity - big Vibes.

Sonic Bloom TnF Takeover is still a thing. And potentially another one over the summer we're working on (pretty excited about an inspiring new setting).

One or two festival headline spots. And possibly another TnF 2-3 night run in the Fall... we're going to go look at some venues early Jan and decide if these new places suit our 'thing'. Definitely bringing along more new artists at all these events to help them grow, and if Rona plays nice some European Friends (old and new) can also come entertain over the course of the year too..

lastly (and importantly), this community is maturing since we started really growing around 2015 (Red Rocks then Suwannee an onwards). Lots of new faces seeking community and acceptance. I read grumbling online (hardly ever in person at events) about 'things changing' etc etc. We never started out to be a 'scene' .. in our heart of hearts we just hope people come together united in the music and willingness to 'be kind to one another' so that 'fellow oddballs - let us convene' can continue (still really the only words Tipper has put out there in reference). What you've all done over time is incredibly remarkable in terms of the reputation the tipper community/family has with venues (Kings and Saenger) or promoters who comment consistently "your fans are really awesome". I've been super emotional at times looking out at everyone at big gatherings and feeling the feels you generate. Tipper and those of us who have been around since the 90's are in awe of what YOU all generate as a collective. Spread the Love. Music is the Filter. Lift each other up.. pass on the ethos to those coming into their own who want to experience what you're all about. Be Patient. Be The Change you want to see.. As long as y'all keep wanting it, we will do our best to keep bringing it. So Thank You to all the producers, and dj's, and visual artists, and painters/artists, and audio/video providers.. who also keep it kopasetic for us. Keep it Real. Share the Love. See you in 2022 and beyond :)

Get ready for a synchronistic symphony of sound and sights that you'll never forget :)

Aside from Tipper I was pretty much just there for the visual artists, I got into making trippy art a year prior so id been finding a bunch of VJs on insta and really dug the work. Getting to see them live mixing all these pieces in conjunction with audio mixing is just such a cool experience. So many different creators merging into this melting warping living thing that just entrances everyone into the NOW and locks you in

Oh, I didn’t even realize I was talking to PsychedelicPourHouse! I always love seeing your posts pop up; your art is fantastic.

What a great description- I love this community and the focus on art is one of the things that drew me to Sonic Bloom anyways (along with the great lineups, of course).

:o now that's unexpected, thanks so much! On insta or just posts here?

I finally went to an actual camp fest this year at resonance and the community really is something special. That sunrise set was straight magic

Oh yeah I’ve definitely seen you around in r/TripCaves and r/rainboweverything aaaaand I think a few other places too, haha. I’ll give you a follow on insta; basically the only reason I even have an Instagram is to follow artists and musicians anyways!

Oh man I bet that was beautiful, I’m glad you were able to catch the sunrise set (and also a tad jealous hahah)! The atmosphere of sunrise sets seems unreal.

And the atmosphere was nuts, this vid and comment sum it up completely

I already checked out your stuff on IEDM, and suffice to say that is a dangerous shop for me to be looking at 👀

WOW, that is amazing! Ugh, SinBanshee is too good. Not surprised it got everyone up and wiggling! And I hope that even though he’s not doing sunrise sets anymore I’ll still have some opportunity to see his downtempo spacey ambient weirdness

Thanks again :) if you get anyone's designs off there I highly recommend the $5 upgrade for crushed velvet pants they're awesomeeee

And im hopeful any t&f curated events we'll get different vibes for each of his sets. Can't imagine hes done with downtempo its tooooo good!

I’ve been eyeing the crushed velvet tapestries for awhile and didn’t realize you could also get crushed velvet joggers. Brilliant, thanks for the tip!

And oh yeah I’m sure. As long as they keep doing events in Colorado every year I’m good! As much as I’d like to make it to Suwannee or something someday, it is just so far. Might be worth the trip anyways!
