POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

For me, Manafest was a bit over 11 years in the making. In 2014, out in the dust, I discovered edm and dancing. I loved it. The snark. The art. The people. I tried on different pieces of myself that I normally hid. No one cared, and that…was liberating. It changed me.

Eight years later, a bunch of Bassboss speakers wandered into my life. It is such a privilege to own them. They have opened the door to meeting many incredible people.

@creatures_virtue my girlfriend of a long, long, time is what has made all of this possible, just as much as I have. We have always worked so well together, and she has so many good ideas. She didn’t believe me 11 years ago, when I said we’d have a party of our own, with quality speakers, but here we are. I love her.

I met @justnieman some months after 2000 lbs of Bassboss was dumped onto my driveway. He was playing music I really liked, the kind I’d been hearing at festivals. I knew I wanted to collaborate with him. None of this would have happened without him. He’s stuck with me through the good and the bad. I’m grateful to be building something that looks and sounds so good, with someone who is such a close friend, and so technically skilled.

@mindgoblin_official I stumbled upon last year at Hulaween, purely through his music. Every time I walked by his camp, there were tunes I loved. I had to give him my card. He and all his friends have turned out to be such lovely people. Thank you for everything Taylor. It’s such a good time being your friend.

@earthtokeeley, what did I do to deserve you? You have taken such good care of me for all these years.

@rheneydazephotography and @awallphotography , thank you for all the photos. They are perfect.

@inwokingdistance thank you for the food. It saved me a couple of times.

@powl.wav @grandmapam69 @wherehousethreads @matty___brizz @l_.music_ thank you for going far beyond the extra mile to help out, running stages, building all kinds of things, organizing and directing with us, just because you could. We would be doomed without people like you.

✨Wow, we’re still fucking unpacking 😮‍💨

We’ve been to all sorts of festivals, because we love dancing, and music, and people.

Eventually, it became a dream to bring that home with us, and do it in our own way. We love music and dancing and being kind toward each other, and we know other people do too.

Manafest is our attempt at throwing a party, nay, a festival, we’d want to hang out at, and dance at.

For our first big party, it turned out better than we anticipated (a little bit ;))

Thank you to everyone who helped us. Throwing a festival is a huge undertaking, and so many skilled individuals came together to make this happen.

Manafest would not have been possible without the help of our dear friend @mindgoblin_official. Thank you for helping us bring all these people together, and for all your work organizing the renegade stage.

To @pyro.possum and all the flowmies ❤️‍🔥 Y’all went above and beyond, appreciate you bringing the heat.

@rheneydazephotography @awallphotography thank you both so much for coming out and capturing ManaFest with all your amazing photos

We’re excited to shared what we’ve got in store for next year ✨ taken in Anderson, South Carolina by @divine_thud_

We’re just about a week out from ManaFest, and the full music schedule is here! ❤️‍🔥

We can’t wait to listen to beautiful beats, and dance in the woods with all of you.

What can we say. This has been an undertaking, a large one…and we’re just stinkin’ excited we get to throw a party with all our friends, spinning a bunch of great tunes into the night.

If, after reading this, you find you’re experiencing a shocking sensation, cascading like a fire across your whole being—don’t be alarmed! You may be coming down with a severe case of FOMO.

Don’t panic though! There is a cure. If you haven’t bought a ticket yet, they’re still available!

Come chill under a canopy of trees with us!

Dancing to edm has been one of the best experiences of my life. I found it out at burning man 11 years ago, and it’s been a main driving force in my life since.

The feeling of the beat hooked me, and I knew I had to bring that sound to Asheville. I bought a badass speaker system so people could experience the music the way it was meant to be experienced—loud and deep.

House and bass music is my forte, but I’ll play anything that hits the right vibe and gets people shaking their asses.

Co-founding Pluto Events, getting to work with my best friends, and being able to bring top-tier sound to the events we throw is a privilege that will always take my breath away.

Thank you @wonkywoodsfestival for having us out to do your late night stage.

It’s rare that we’re in a space that we can let the Bassboss system flex like that. It was so much fun to hear the woods bumpin’ and the earth vibrating.

To everyone who came out to dance, what a pleasure it was to play some music for y’all. Thank you for bringing the vibes!

Also! @mindgoblin_official, you’re the best! Thank you for helping us create next level parties. ⚡️🔥⚡️

Thank you @churning.man 🥞

This little burn of yours was such a good time. I felt right at home. Getting to set my sound system up at Deer Fields with my closest friends, and then listen to a bunch of great music, was beautifully aligned with the sort of thing I’ve always wanted to do with it.

Honestly, it’s butter suited for the outdoors.

Happy to be y’all’s sound homies ✨🌟✨ taken in Deerfields Retreat 'Official Page' by @divine_thud_
