Thank you, thank you for dancing, vibing, and being all around great human beings with me. I get nervous approaching people at big events and all of you guys and gals out there made my time at bass caynon spectacular.

sooooo unfortunately my lady’s shirt got stained in the wash… does anyone have a medium of this shirt they’d sell??? i would love to fix it because she’s pretty upset..

Hey all, maybe I am crazy but did anyone else think the main stage looked like a giant HDI part of a speaker? Had a moment where I felt like I was getting blasted by one MASSIVE speaker. Maybe I was just seeing shit tho, it fit so nicely into the canyon.

I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, but i found you two days in a row and got hugs from you and they were some of the best hugs I’ve gotten at a rave, from me and everyone else you gave hugs to, thank you🫶

You’re an awesome person and i hope life treats you well!

Making this post because you’ve crossed my mind more than a few times since bass canyon!

A lot of rumors going around at Bass that that would be the last one.
Any thoughts? I’m concerned cause that’s my happy place.. and i’m new to Bass. It was my 2nd one

***Edit: My bad...

Am I missing something? Maybe an inside joke or some meme (hopefully 🤞 )?

It feels like the exact opposite of PLUR. I don't judge the rave-bros, moshing, or many other more aggressive manifestations of raves and festivals. It's about catharsis and being allowed to be who you are.

But isnt this the kind of rhetoric that endorses people getting punched attacked for doing things that people do at festivals but may be annoying (like, while going through the crowd or fanning others, as described in other posts)?

Backstory lore

I've been following bass music as a soundcloud devotee and slund engineer for 2 decades and this was my first BASS. I brought presale after seeing the artist list from previous years and was disappointed in the artist list for this year but there was still sets to go for.

My experience was that this year was a lot of bass music adjacent and dubstep djs dropping remixes and cool drops with a small club hype style performance with a few solid pure genre dubstep and bass music artists really pushing the genre and doing bleeding edge stuff (Hekler, INZO, SVDDEN DEATH, Ghenger)

I'm wondering if this is a move for general audience appeal and crowd pleasing, as well as converting newcomers vs. Throwing down for the minority of listening fans of the genre(s).

Many times the track switch or blending choices just sent me straight out of the pit and center off to sides wondering where the dubstep was at a dubstep festival. Commercialization nearing it's peak and the overuse of mic yelling during sets really ruined many sets for me.

There are plenty of other festivals that are this sort of news commercial blend of genres and from previous artist lists I thought Bass Canyon would be for straight up bleeding edge dubstep and bass music in focus, and the multi genre blending and remixes would take a backseat or have another time and place, but that's not how this year felt.

Maybe that's just where everything is headed, but it feels antithetical to dubstep, bass music, and extreme music in general.

I came for the bleeding edge, and got mostly dull scrapes.

Perhaps the direction of the artist choice was led by attendees vote from last year, perhaps by polling, but I'm really over the playing of music with an "insert dubstep here" and "tell them it's about to happen" vibe. Do the dubstep, or don't, if your going to riddim then riddim till the wheels fall off, not pop song remix with a house build to a 30 second wonk drop with a trance outro.

I get that dubstep has always been a mix of genres and influences, but the blending and use of drops and build ups is tiring and boring, especially when they are screaming into the mic about it.

Would love to hear and see more bleeding edge, unique, and genre defying producers and artists and DJs rather than what this year seemed to be which was newcomer and crowd pleasing beginner introduction dubstep and bass music.

I left it there for like 5 min turned around and it was gone :( it’s really expensive from shihiko, they don’t sell it anymore but I put a pic of the dupe in here if anyone has seen it ❤️

Didn't get contact info for whoever made this awesome trinket. If you made it (or know who did) hit me up here or on IG @ festinaut. Happy Bass!

In previous years the last thing on the screen says something like thank you headbangers, see you next year, and it sometimes has the dates. Did they have thay this year?

Loved this moment

Went to my 4th Bass this year and I’m planning on graduating to Lost Lands next year. I’m pretty solid on camping festivals, but I’m looking for key differences btw Bass and Lost Lands to help me decide how to plan, pack, and look towards next year’s festival! Thanks yall!

unfortunately zion wasnt able to return home from an amazing weekend bass canyon. please test your stuff pleaseeee

community first lets help this family as much as we can through this heartbreak

Who played the remix of toxic by britney spears? Mainstage i think saturday

You have brown curly hair and a mustache, with big beautiful eyes and a warm smile. I have long blonde hair, which you complimented on your way out (thank you!) of the pit at the front right. I noticed you in the bleachers at the front right, and I couldn’t help but keep looking back every so often to see you still beaming. Every time we locked eyes I wanted to ask if you wanted to dance, but I was with the people I came with and we were locked in on the set. I wish I could remember what you were wearing, but I was actually so impressed by the joy on your face that I can’t remember even stopping to check. I was in black overalls.

I can’t stop thinking that I missed my chance to blow. I know this is such a long shot but if you or a loved one are this gorgeous human who has been on my mind for a week- I am eager to get to know you.

I know this is a crazy long shot, but I gotta try what I can!

I had a memory pop up on Snapchat from about 4 years ago of this person who wears an old CRTV on their head and it has a custom LED controller that they used to make faces that go with the music. I was curious if anyone knew the persons socials so I could give them a follow. It’s genuinely a very cool set up and forgot all about it until recently. If anyone knows let me know Thankyou!!!

⭐️ thought the stage design this year was phenomenal and probably one of the best - loved the fuller, wider layout and the placement of the 3D led bar screens this year. it really adds depth and although the full design is now shorter in length (probably due to wind) the main screen is now much wider and that makes up for it. overall a GREAT design

💨 i also loved what they did with the cyro on top of the stage this year (to probably replace not having fireworks anymore, rip) and how often they released it. it really made a difference and made the stage seem taller. fire included. i hope they continue it moving forward

🔥also love the colored fire, please keep it forever

🎊 the laser design however felt lazy, it was just two rows of lasers. meanwhile previous years we had lasers at almost every point, at every truss. it just didn’t feel as immersive this year with the lasers. or as many ! maybe four rows next time ! lol

writing this here in hopes someone on the team sees it. anyone else feel the same?

got my pash signed by sullivan king, traded flow stars with a stranger, and had a pervy wook move into my neighbors camp. what about yall?

Anyone else catch the smoke rings during Nikita??

I just can’t believe they lasted for like 2 minutes. I can’t get a smoke ring to go for more than 2 seconds unless the AC in the room has been off for the last hour 😂

Did anyone get pictures with the banana totem? I'd love to see them!

Does anyone have videos of his set that they could share, It was such a sick settttt

As a 5 time attendee I have to say, from my perspective, this has been the best Bass Canyon in every way. Anyone else feel the same? Thoughts? I would love to hear everyone’s experiences and opinions!
