ᶠʳᵒᵐ ᵐᵉˡᵗ ʷᵉ ᵇʳⁱⁿᵍ ʸᵒᵘ ⁿᵉˢᵗ.. An evening of dubbed-out hypnotic bass and techno with sculptural installations and immersive visuals. A collaboration with @low_indigo_ featuring sounds by: Prieste5s @prieste5s is a Berlin-based electronic musician, live-coder, and visual artist. In her own productions, Prieste5s fuses versatile influences from across the genre spectrum - bass-heavy sounds, hypnotic techno elements, breakbeats, and experimental influences characterize her sonic palette. Inspired by her fascination of the untouched wilderness, natural history, and geological exploration, Prieste5s’ sound is a synthesis of organic sound design and psychedelic atmospheres. Her music is an expression of the transience of experience, and the ephemerality of the natural world. with support by: Beiti Nalule ephemeral objects b2b xiumei Michael Red b2b IHA installation & environment by arya RGB visuals by Laine Butler gelatinkind Friday, May 22nd East Van Location 10pm-4am 3d model by @pimb.tattoo poster by Laine Butler

Recap: Low Indigo x Resound Thank you to everyone who joined us last month… what a special evening. A room full of familiar faces and new connections, all coming together through downtempo, chill beats, and low-key grooves. From trip hop to mellow instrumentals, fragments of dub and R&B — sounds to sink into, move with, and share. We opened the night with Toi, followed by N1ght Work’s deep beat selections, then eased into birthday sets from Kozue and Michael Red — a Pisces floating vibes in full flow♓️ Toi also shaped the space with audio-reactive visuals, featuring his illustration of Nana🐕‍🦺 and Felix🐈‍⬛ swimming through the night. Grateful for this one… and feeling like it won’t be too long before we do it again💫 @low_indigo_

i am looking for collaborators and equal partners with PROJECT MANAGER ENERGY who catalyze and motivate and do actions to help move very worthy projects forward who know and see the pathways and resources and take the initiative. who are consistent and timely. who give as much as me. who are aligned with all the basics (wholistic knowing, communication, trust, team earth / team everyone, with "the work" being a given and embedded). who work hard and laugh & relax harder.
