A HEARTFELT MESSAGE 🌹
I’ve been meaning to pause, take a breath, and share some deeper thoughts and feelings about my last few years in Denver - especially the beautiful journey that INTIMÄT has been for me, and for so many of us who were part of its life in the basement. Now feels like the right time.
The evolution of the space/concept from its inception has been nothing but a true test of “letting things flow” in a way. What began as a pop-up, three-month concept space grew into a 2.5-year run - rich, challenging, and wonderful in a way that feels impossible to replicate. The amount of care, energy, and passion poured into the space and the community by everyone involved (including the community itself) has been incredibly powerful to witness. I am forever grateful for the immense growth this experience has given me. It continues to fuel my desire to grow in all the ways I can as a multifaceted human being. We all are. That’s why music and art culture are so profoundly beautiful: it’s the convergence of our many facets—interests, skills, passions—that gives art its depth and power. Art asks for infinite expansion; it never settles. And in the case of music, sound never needs trends to justify its existence.
I feel endlessly lucky to be surrounded by such an incredible group of human beings I can call brothers and sisters. I want to thank the entire INTIMÄT family for the exceptional work everyone has done (and continues to do) not only as a team, but more importantly for the community as a whole. An immense thank you to my right-hand men throughout this journey, Kai de Rochemont and JuanCarlos Serna; to my partner, Hayley; and to the entire team: Elizabeth Huber, Douglas, Teresa, Annelise Ohlson, Brian Robles, Emyli, Deian, Bishop, Katrina, David Earl, Julian, Richard Olbeda, Estevan, Walker, Ulises, Israel, Jon Imeson, Gyzmo, Forrest, Brian F, Tori, Jordan Claussen, Britney, Maria, Brandon, Andrei, Melissa Rummel, Jason Lyman, Milosz, all the artists, guests, collectives, promoters and everyone who supported our concept.
