GRADIENT appreciation post: We want to take a moment during the afterglow of this last weekend’s campout to reflect on what was shared. We are overcome with love and appreciation for the group of radical talented friends, artists, and contributors that made last weekend possible. This campout was DIY, and it was carried by the folks that attended and those that showed up for the early planning to the final dust down sesh back in LA. We want to call out the contribution of a few key folks surrounding this project. Firstly, kindred spirits @newpalm for their shared vision, collaboration, and helping hands throughout the event. @paulsboston has encouraged us to drive forward to see what’s possible over and over again and has always added an element of organization that is most welcome and dearly needed. @theeasylove for their trust in opening up their beautiful property to our group along with the acoustical upgrades in the booth from @mobius_acoustics . @music_the_reason for bringing the absolute best sound out of our system and making us feel welcome in his neighborhood. @kesselmc@leezygram@nickgee@entirelyunmarketable@zahremaarmusic and @s_1im for jumping in to help pull this off. @corduroygarden_@michaelhollandhopkins for the sustenance and gourmet bevs. All the artists that prepared such beautiful sets and took time to trek out to the desert in support of the event:
agraybé (New Palm)
azize
Berndt (Kajunga)
CHA CHA (Corduroy Garden)
Charles Edward (New Palm)
Force Placement (The Black Lodge / Into the Woods)
Israel Vines (Tresor)
Kaleb Marshall
Matt Sussman (Chillits)
Max Ellington (PrintShop / New Palm / VPN)
undercurrent (New Palm)

Your sets were all “forget to put gas in the generator good”! We are left with excitement and hope for what the future will bring for this crew. We cannot wait to see you all again soon!
PS, lots of recordings are going out to artists after the event. Looking forward to listening back where artist choose to share!
