Shambhala 2026

Every year I look forward to seeing these beautiful people's faces on the farm. Nothing short of being absolutely amazing.

I always leave here better than I ever was and this year was a much needed time of getting away and enjoying the forest and music.

Cheers to you all. Thank you.

It’s hard to imagine putting our 16 years of friendship into one final goodbye letter, so here it goes I guess…

I remember meeting you in the study rooms of Mater Dei, and quickly becoming friends. Those days turned into late nights filled with cod and halo lobbies chorused by obscenities and laughter.

We both graduated and attended CSUF, where we once again quickly reconnected in the gym over our shared love of music and DJ’ing. College was then filled with countless house parties, shows, festivals and more that proceeded to merge our worlds in ways I couldn’t foresee the impact at the time. You intro’d me to @crescentclique and the formidable @jacksoncollective , two groups that became some of my closest peers. I intro’d you to my college fam through Vibe Tribe, and the result was one big crazy family of friends that would embark on so many wild adventures for the next 10+ years.

I can’t count how many times we had DJ’d together, but each one was electric and fresh as the last. You shared a similar respect for digging and the craft as a whole that few touring professionals do. And as my journey as an artist grew more and more, you were there every step of the way. Unconditionally.

I think thats why you connected with so many of us. You gave everyone unconditional love and you ALWAYS were unapologetically yourself. No matter where we went, you were the best dressed and the most suave guy in the room. A true fashionista in every sense of the word. You were never too full of yourself, and your charisma and laugh would always fill the room with smiles no matter where we were.

I still hear that goofy laugh today, and I am once again crying at the absence of that warm feeling. You truly were one in a million, and the world is left in a far worse place without it. But I know you’re somewhere out there, guiding the sounds and the fashion in ways no one else could.

I love you so much brother. We will forever miss your presence, and we will never forget it.

It’s crazy to think I’d have the best week of my life after the year I’ve had. Coming back home to spend time with friends old and new has helped me heal so much. I experienced an incredible amount of love & laughs from the loveliest people in the world. The music, the laughs, the food - Shambhala is a home away from home that I can only hope to go to every year as long as I can.

Also Banff is crazy looking!! 🤯

It's absolutely bananas to me that most of this friend group has all come together all from love of music.
We started Shambhala with just 3 of us (testing the waters) to now just a little over 30 people combined.
To say I love each and every one of these individuals is an understatement.
Could go to any stage at any moment and see a familiar face ready to party.
Cheers to the good memories made and to many more.
You lot really know how to bring the smiles out all week!

Also, fuck Instagram for only allowing 20 tags. My apologies to the ones I left out.
