The Elixr Holiday DNB Party: A Night to Remember
The holiday season is always a time to gather, celebrate, and create memories. This year, we took it to another level with the Elixr Holiday DNB Party on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. Hosted at Remedy, the event delivered an electrifying night filled with energetic beats, good vibes, and a tight-knit community that came together for one last hurrah at this iconic venue.
From the moment the DJs started spinning, Remedy was alive. The lineup had the place bumpin’ nonstop through the night, delivering a blend of drum and bass that kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. For a Wednesday night, the turnout was impressive. We saw some new faces—a testament to the growing appeal of the scene—and reconnected with old friends who came out to show their support.
The atmosphere was nothing short of electric, fueled by the love and support of everyone present. A huge shoutout to Sayounara Productions for organizing this unforgettable event and for their unwavering dedication to bringing the community together through music. Their passion and hard work do not go unnoticed, and we’re grateful to have been part of this celebration.
As bittersweet as it is to bid farewell to Remedy as a venue, we’re thrilled for what’s next. The Elixr events will be moving to The Goldmark in Lawrenceville, PA, a space that promises to be the perfect setting for future parties and gatherings. While Remedy will always hold a special place in our hearts, we’re excited to continue the legacy and bring even more magic to The Goldmark.

Crossbow
December 14th, 2024: Located at Cobra Pittsburgh, hosted by Longturn Music
Cobra | Bloomfield | Ages 21+
Crossbow's ears are healed and we've locked in a rescheduled date. She’s ready to return to Pittsburgh for the December 14 edition of Night Shift. Crossbow has been making serious waves this year, with a recent release on Codex, a massive direct support slot for Eli Brown at the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, and a fantastic performance for us at Elements Festival. Last time she was in town, she nearly stole the show with her incredible opening set for Sam Wolfe at the Gymnasium. We’re beyond excited to see what she can do on Cobra's Void sound system. Get ready for a journey into moody, driving techno that will transport you to a Brooklyn warehouse.
Getting the party started will be Rush promo's Rojaus playing a rare techno set and Papyon coming in from Philly fresh off a huge performance at the fire stage at Elements Festival.
Consider this your standing invite. Clock into the weekend: Cobra Lounge, every Saturday.
Crossbow | Codex / Respekt | NYC
https://soundcloud.com/cross_bow
Crossbow comes from an extremely musical background as a singer, song writer and guitarist. Her interest in music developed at a young age and has evolved over her lifetime into a deep passion for dance music. Her love for moody, yet playful techno, allows her to carry her listeners into a moment of deep focus and empowerment. Driving kick drums, jumpy bass-lines, metallic synths and a feel for something darker is what drives her-all carefully woven together to transport you to the foggy underground clubs of Berlin and back to some warehouse in Brooklyn. She chooses her music based on a primal instinct for polyrhythmic drum patterns and emotions embedded between the lines of the melodies. Her hope is that this music elicits interesting and enjoyable feelings in others, the same as it does for her.

If anyone at a Longturn event is making you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, or if you witness anything of the sort, we encourage you to speak with the door staff or our team members. We’ll believe you, and we’ll help.
In the era when America's Rust Belt got its name, factory workers labored on a 12-hour day or night shift for two weeks straight. To switch shifts, one group would have to work 24-hours straight and cover the labor gap. This grueling shift became known as the Longturn.
Longturn music was founded to give people with day jobs a space to spend their second shift. No bottle service, no passwords, just a dance floor filled with good people and good music.
The set up for the night
An Incredible First Collaboration with Longturn Music at Cobra Pittsburgh
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to be a part of something new and exciting—my first time working with Longturn Music and vending at the Cobra Pittsburgh location. What a wild, wonderful night it turned out to be! From the venue to the crowd to the music, everything came together beautifully in a way that made me grateful to be part of such a dynamic event. It was an experience that I’ll definitely cherish as I continue to grow my small art business.
First Impressions: Cobra Pittsburgh & Longturn Music
Cobra Pittsburgh is an intimate venue with a gritty, underground vibe that makes it perfect for an EDM event. It has that unique “dive bar meets rave” feel, where the raw energy of the crowd really matches the intensity of the music. It was the ideal setting for an event that was all about pushing the boundaries of creativity and music. And working with Longturn Music was a pleasure from start to finish. This was our first collaboration, and I’m happy to say that they delivered an experience that was both well-organized and full of positive energy.
For a first-time experience, it’s always a bit of a gamble when you’re working at a new venue, especially when you’re vending in a space that’s a little outside of your usual setup. But the team at Cobra Pittsburgh made everything seamless, and Longturn Music really set the tone for a memorable night.
Our Own Little Room: A Unique Vending Experience
One of the unique features of this event was the fact that we had our own little room to vend in, which was definitely different from the more open spaces I’ve worked in at past events. At first, I was unsure how the small, somewhat isolated space would work out, but in the end, it turned out to be a great fit! The intimacy of the space actually made it easier for people to stop by and take a closer look at my handcrafted art. They could engage with the work at their own pace, without the distractions of a larger, more crowded area.
It felt like a small, personal art gallery tucked away in the middle of the party, which really allowed me to connect with people on a deeper level. People were curious, interested, and excited to support my work. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment to showcase my creations. Plus, being able to really focus on engaging with the crowd without the usual noise and distractions of a bigger vending setup was such a pleasant change.
The Music: Crossbow, Kristi, and the Vibe
Now, let’s talk about the music, because that’s the heart and soul of any great EDM event—and this one did not disappoint.
The headliner for the night, Crossbow, absolutely slayed her set. From the moment she stepped behind the decks, the energy in the room shifted, and the crowd was hooked. Her mix of heavy beats, smooth transitions, and raw intensity brought the room to life in a way that only a true professional can. Crossbow’s performance was one of those sets that left you feeling like you were part of something bigger than just a party—it felt like a collective experience, a journey we were all on together. If you ever get the chance to see her live, do not miss it.
And let’s not forget the support DJs and the performance from Kristi, who absolutely killed it on the dance floor. Kristi’s live dance performance added a whole new layer to the event, blending perfectly with the music and making the crowd feel even more connected to the beats. Her energy was contagious, and watching her dance made everyone in the room feel like they were part of something bigger than just a concert—like we were all feeding off of each other’s energy.
The Crowd: New Faces, New Connections
One of the most exciting things about this event was the new faces in the crowd. As a small business owner, it's always a good feeling when you can expand your audience and reach new people, especially in a scene that is constantly evolving. The crowd at Cobra Pittsburgh was vibrant, excited, and incredibly supportive, and I loved meeting new people who appreciated my art. There's something special about having that fresh interaction—where the energy feels new, but at the same time, everyone shares a love for creativity and self-expression.
Seeing so many people connect with my work, and with each other, was such a rewarding experience. It reminded me that, as much as art and music are personal experiences, they are also communal, bringing together different backgrounds, different perspectives, and different stories. That’s the magic of events like these.
A Huge Thank You
I have nothing but good things to say about my first experience working with Longturn Music and vending at Cobra Pittsburgh. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and thankful to everyone who stopped by my booth, supported my art, and made this night unforgettable. From the staff at Cobra to the incredible crowd, to the amazing artists who performed, it was a night full of positive energy, great vibes, and creative magic.
If this is what the future holds for collaborations with Longturn Music and shows at Cobra Pittsburgh, I can’t wait to see what’s next. Thanks again to everyone who made this experience special—I look forward to working with all of you again soon!
Until then, stay creative, stay passionate, and keep supporting the art and music that brings us all together.

An Incredible Night of Art, Music, and Community: My Experience at the Metamind Collective EDM Show
This past weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to sell my handcrafted art at an EDM show hosted by the Metamind Collective—and what an unforgettable experience it was! From the vibrant energy of the crowd to the amazing lineup of DJs, it was a night that perfectly blended creativity, music, and a shared sense of community. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a part of a truly immersive event, this one was a perfect example.
Metamind Collective: A Night to Remember
The event, held at Sidequest—a venue known for its intimate and electrifying vibe—was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I stepped into the venue, I could feel the buzz of anticipation in the air. The Metamind Collective, known for their innovative approach to electronic music and art, truly outdid themselves with this show. The atmosphere was alive, the crowd was electric, and everything felt perfectly curated. They created a space where art and music weren’t separate; they flowed seamlessly together.
A special shoutout goes to the Metamind Collective team for their attention to detail, both in terms of the production and the environment they fostered. They were extremely organized, making sure the artists (like myself!) felt welcome and supported. It’s not every day that you get to collaborate with such a forward-thinking and inclusive collective.
Headliner: Mandidextrous
One of the highlights of the night was undoubtedly Mandidextrous, the headliner, who brought the house down with an electrifying set. Mandedextrous is a force in the hard dance and EDM scene, pushing boundaries and creating a space for everyone, an ideal at their finest. Their set was a masterclass in energy, seamlessly blending genres and building up to a climax that had the entire room shaking with excitement.
Mandedextrous' performance was a perfect reflection of their commitment to inclusivity and progressive thinking within the electronic music community. It was a night where we all came together, dancing and celebrating our shared love for music, art, and self-expression.
Supporting DJs and the Vibrant Lineup
The supporting DJs also did an outstanding job of setting the stage for Mandedextrous’ headline performance. From start to finish, the energy never dipped. Big shoutout to the talented DJs who kept the crowd moving all night long:
DJ Bliss — bringing those deep, pulsating beats that made the floor vibrate.
VibeCatcher — their high-energy set was full of unexpected twists and kept everyone on their toes.
Pixelate — an absolute wizard with mixing, their blend of melodic and hard dance sounds was something special.
Each DJ added their own flavor to the night, creating an experience that felt like an all-encompassing journey through the hard dance genre. It’s rare to see such seamless transitions between sets, and the way the entire night flowed was a testament to the collective synergy of all the artists involved.
A Shoutout to Sidequest and the Venue Team
Sidequest is one of those venues that really makes you feel like you're part of something unique. The intimate setting allowed for personal connections between the artists and the audience, and the sound system was top-notch, making every drop and buildup feel like a wave of energy crashing over you. The staff at Sidequest were kind, efficient, and made sure the event ran smoothly, so I want to give a huge thank you to them for their support throughout the night.
My Art Journey at the Event
As an artist, this event was a milestone for me. Being able to showcase my handcrafted art at such a dynamic and creative event was an absolute honor. The audience was not only receptive but incredibly supportive, and it was heartwarming to see people connect with my work. Whether it was my unique pieces hanging on the walls or the smaller pieces I brought for sale, it was amazing to witness how art can become a part of the atmosphere in an event like this.
I want to express my gratitude to everyone who stopped by my booth and took the time to engage with my art. You all made this experience even more memorable, and I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to share my work with such a passionate crowd.
The Hard Dance EDM Community: Unity Through Music and Art
What stood out to me the most about this event was the sense of community. The hard dance EDM world is known for its inclusive and welcoming vibe, and the Metamind Collective exemplified this in every aspect of the event. From the way the artists supported each other to the way the crowd engaged with the music and art, there was a palpable sense of unity. People were there to celebrate, to support one another, and to embrace the music that brings us all together.
It’s moments like these—where music, art, and community come together—that remind me why I do what I do. I’m proud to be part of such a dynamic and passionate scene, and I’m beyond excited to continue creating and sharing my art with all of you.

The set up for the night
An Incredible Night at AK Renny: Art, Music, and Good Vibes at Sidequest
What a night! I had the absolute pleasure of showcasing my art at AK Renny — a vibrant event held at the newly renovated Sidequest and hosted by Bassburgh. It was a free show, which made the experience even more accessible to the community, and let me tell you, the energy in the room was nothing short of electric. Between the incredible music, the beautiful venue, and the connections made throughout the night, it was an evening I’ll never forget.
Sidequest: A Beautifully Renovated Venue
First off, let me tell you about Sidequest — the venue was looking absolutely stunning after its recent renovations. I’ve been to Sidequest before, but the updates made this space feel completely fresh and elevated. The new layout and design elements brought out a modern, yet cozy, vibe. There’s something about a venue that has had thoughtful renovations — it makes you feel like the space is alive, evolving, and part of the community.
The lighting was on point, creating the perfect atmosphere for both the art and the music. The walls were adorned with some beautiful details, and the overall aesthetic of the venue complemented the high-energy vibe of the show. As an artist, it’s always amazing to display your work in a space that feels alive, and Sidequest absolutely nailed it with the renovations. The whole venue felt like a work of art in itself!
Bassburgh & the Free Show: All About the Community
It’s always a treat when Bassburgh hosts an event, and AK Renny was no exception. The energy they bring to the table — from the music lineup to the vibe of the crowd — is unmatched. The show was free, which is such a gift to the community. It’s always great to see local shows where the focus is on bringing people together to experience live music and art without any barrier to entry. Whether people were there for the music, the art, or just the love of a good time, the atmosphere was welcoming and full of positive energy.
The beats throughout the night had everyone moving, with AK Renny’s unique style filling the venue with infectious energy. The crowd was vibing, the music was on fire, and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting to showcase my work. Events like these remind me how powerful live music is — it’s not just about the sound; it’s about the connection. And AK Renny’s set was all about that, connecting people through rhythm, bass, and energy.
The Art Booth: Connecting with the Crowd
As an artist, one of my favorite parts of shows like AK Renny is getting to engage with people and see how they connect with the art. Throughout the night, it was so amazing to talk to attendees, some of whom were long-time fans, and others who were seeing my work for the first time. There’s always something so special about meeting new faces and talking about art, especially in such a high-energy setting like this.
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT: Earrings and Sunglasses
The space was buzzing with people who appreciated both the music and the art. I had the chance to meet so many fantastic individuals, and I’m always grateful for the conversations and connections that come out of these experiences. It wasn’t just about selling pieces; it was about sharing the love of creativity and being part of a community that supports each other.
A Surprise Guest: AK Renny Stops by the Booth!
The highlight of the night, though, came when AK Renny herself stopped by my booth toward the end of the evening. I didn’t expect it, but she took the time to chat with me and my fellow vendors for a solid 20 minutes. She was so down-to-earth and genuinely interested in the art and the experience. It’s not every day that you get to talk to someone who’s headlining a show with so much respect and humility. AK Renny’s energy matched the vibe of the entire night — super chill, approachable, and kind.
It was awesome to hear her thoughts on the art, and it was clear that she really cares about the local scene and supporting fellow creatives. That kind of interaction is what makes live shows so special. It’s not just about the music or the art on its own; it’s about the people who make the experience worthwhile. AK Renny is a true professional, but also just a really cool person, and that conversation was definitely one of the highlights of the night for me.

From the music to the art to the people, it was an evening that truly showcased the power of community and creativity.

The setup for the night
A Night of House Beats and Good Vibes: Selling Art at Ozztin
What an incredible night! I recently had the chance to showcase my art at a show called Ozztin, held at the one-and-only Squirrel Hill Sports Bar and hosted by Bassburgh. The night was filled with house music vibes, new friends, old friends, and, of course, a whole lot of creativity and positive energy. It was a perfect blend of art, music, and community — and honestly, it was the kind of night that you just don’t forget.
The Venue: Squirrel Hill Sports Bar — More Than Just a Bar
If you’ve ever been to Squirrel Hill Sports Bar, you know that it has this super welcoming, laid-back vibe, but with just the right amount of edge to make it feel like a hidden gem in the city. The atmosphere is cozy yet spacious enough to dance and mingle. The moment I stepped in, I could tell it was going to be a good night. The owners, who are absolute gems themselves, always make sure that the space is not only welcoming but inclusive — the kind of place where everyone feels at home.
What makes this place so special is the people. The owner of the bar is hands down one of the coolest folks I’ve met in the local scene. He’s always there to support the artists, the musicians, and the community, making sure everyone feels appreciated and respected. It’s rare to find a venue owner who is so involved in creating a positive atmosphere, but this guy nails it every time. I’m so grateful to him for offering up such a fantastic space for events like Ozztin — it really set the tone for the entire evening.

Bassburgh & The Vibe: House Music Magic
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing Bassburgh throw a show, you know they’re all about creating an experience that’s as much about the vibe as it is about the music. Ozztin was no exception — the house beats, deep basslines, and groovy rhythms completely took over the venue, making it impossible not to feel the music in your bones.
The DJ lineup was stacked, and each set brought something unique to the night. It wasn’t just a night of dancing; it was a night of connection, of letting go, and of really getting lost in the beats. The house music played a perfect backdrop to the art on display, with both the sound and visuals feeding off each other in this beautiful, complementary way. The music had that hypnotic quality — the kind that makes you move even if you didn’t plan on it. The crowd was vibing, and I could tell everyone in the room felt the same way.
Selling Art: Connecting with Old Friends and New Faces
As an artist, it’s always exciting to be able to share your work in such a dynamic environment. At Ozztin, I had the chance to connect with both old friends and new faces, and that’s honestly one of my favorite parts of these events. The people who stopped by my booth were genuinely interested in the work I was displaying — and the best part was that it felt like the art was speaking for itself. The house music and the art meshed perfectly, and I loved seeing people light up as they connected with the pieces.
Some of my old friends came through to show love and support, which is always such a rewarding experience. And then, of course, I met a whole new group of people who were curious about the art and the story behind it. There’s always something special about meeting someone who is experiencing your work for the first time. It’s that spark of recognition — the moment they connect with something you’ve created. Those moments are what keep me inspired to keep creating and sharing my art.
The Community Vibe: A Perfect Blend of People
One thing I’ve learned from being part of the local scene is that the people make the event. Ozztin was no different. There was such a beautiful mix of individuals, all there to enjoy the music, appreciate the art, and just enjoy the night in the best possible way. The crowd was diverse, friendly, and full of energy — the kind of people who bring good vibes everywhere they go.
I saw people from all different walks of life come together to enjoy the same experience. Whether they were there to support the music, check out the art, or just enjoy the atmosphere, there was a sense of unity that was hard to ignore. I think that’s one of the reasons I love being part of events like this — it’s not just about selling art or listening to good music; it’s about being part of something bigger than all of us, where creativity, music, and positive energy collide in the best possible way.
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT: All three bought sunglasses and rocked them all night long!
A Heartfelt Thank You
As the night wound down, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly grateful. Grateful for the amazing venue, the people who came out, the awesome vibes, and, of course, the opportunity to share my art with such a receptive and supportive crowd. A huge shoutout to the Squirrel Hill Sports Bar for being such a fantastic host, and to Bassburgh for putting together such an amazing event. You guys absolutely crushed it.
To everyone who came out to Ozztin, whether you stopped by my booth to chat, supported the other vendors, or simply danced the night away — thank you. Your energy made the night what it was, and I’m so thankful to have been a part of it.
And of course, a special thank you to the bar owner for creating a space where art, music, and people can come together in the most authentic way. It’s venues and people like you that keep the local scene alive, and I look forward to the next one!
Here’s to more nights filled with house beats, good friends, and even better vibes. Until next time! ✨🎶🎨

An Unforgettable Night at Funtcase: Art, Music, and Good Vibes at Thunderbird
If you’ve ever had the chance to experience a live show that combines top-notch music with a vibrant, electrifying atmosphere, then you know how rare it is to be part of something truly memorable. That’s exactly what happened when I had the opportunity to sell my art at Funtcase — an incredible night hosted by Slayd Productions at Thunderbird.
The event had everything you could ask for: a killer lineup, a venue that had the perfect mix of grunge and glamour, and an atmosphere that felt like pure magic. Let me take you through the experience and share just how unforgettable the night was.
The Venue: Thunderbird - The Perfect Backdrop
Thunderbird is one of those places that you can’t help but fall in love with. It has a certain rawness to it that gives every event a unique edge. The combination of industrial design, neon lights, and urban charm made it the ideal location for a night of high-energy beats and electrifying art. Whether you were on the dance floor or checking out the art booths (like mine!), there was always something to catch your eye.
As soon as I walked in and set up my booth, I knew this was going to be something special. The vibe of the venue — that perfect balance of cozy yet expansive — immediately set the tone for a night that felt both intimate and larger-than-life.
Slayd Productions: A Crew That Knows How to Throw a Party
I’ve been part of many events, but there’s something about Slayd Productions that sets them apart. From the moment I arrived, their attention to detail was clear. The team made sure everything was running smoothly, from the lighting to the sound setup, creating the perfect environment for Funtcase to shine.
What really stood out to me, though, was how Slayd Productions made everyone — artists, vendors, performers, and attendees alike — feel like part of the experience. It wasn’t just about selling tickets or creating a show; it was about fostering a sense of community. The energy in the room was electric, and that’s all thanks to the fantastic team behind the event.
Funtcase: A Night of Bass and Beats
If you know anything about Funtcase, you know that the bass is massive. The night was headlined by none other than the legendary Funtcase himself, who absolutely crushed it with an unforgettable set. The bass drops were so intense they seemed to reverberate through your bones, while the lighter melodic moments gave the crowd a chance to breathe before diving back into the heavy beats.
It was clear that the crowd was there to experience the music, and the energy in the room was contagious. The crowd danced, vibed, and lost themselves in the music, while I was lucky enough to witness the whole thing while selling my art. Every time the beat dropped, it felt like the entire room surged together as one — a beautiful reminder of how music and art have the power to unite people in a way nothing else can.
My Art at Funtcase: A New Kind of Connection
Selling art at events like this is always an adventure, and this one was no exception. My booth was filled with pieces that captured the vibe of the night — bold, colorful, and a little wild, just like the crowd. It was amazing to see how many people were drawn to the art, and even better to hear how it resonated with them. There’s something about the atmosphere at a music event like this that makes people more open, more connected, and more willing to embrace new things — including the art on display.
What I loved most was how many people took the time to not only check out my pieces but also talk about them. The connection between art and music felt so natural in that environment. Some visitors even told me how they could hear the music in the colors and energy of the pieces, and that, to me, was the ultimate compliment. The fusion of visual art and music creates this beautiful conversation between two forms of expression, and being able to experience that on a night like Funtcase was just surreal.
The People: A Community of Creatives
What made this event truly unforgettable was the people. From the fellow vendors to the attendees, everyone was there for the love of art, music, and good vibes. There’s something special about the EDM scene that fosters such a positive and open energy, and this event was no different. People were supportive, excited, and genuinely interested in what was happening around them — whether it was the next drop in the music or the art they were experiencing.
I got to meet so many amazing people, all of whom had their own unique stories and reasons for attending Funtcase. Some were longtime fans of Funtcase’s music, others were first-timers just there to enjoy the night, but everyone was part of the same collective energy. And to be able to share that moment with them through my art was truly special.
A Huge Thank You
I can’t finish this post without giving a huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible — from Slayd Productions for hosting such an incredible night, to everyone who stopped by my booth to check out the art, and of course, to all the people who supported my work by purchasing pieces and taking them home. Your energy made the night unforgettable.
To Funtcase, for bringing the bass and the vibes in such an unforgettable way — thank you for creating an experience that was as much about community as it was about music.
And finally, a big thank you to everyone who came together that night — you all made it an event I’ll never forget.
If you missed Funtcase this time, don’t worry — these kinds of experiences don’t come around every day, but when they do, they’re worth the wait. Keep an eye out for the next one, and in the meantime, keep vibing, keep creating, and keep supporting live music and local art!
Until next time! 🎶🎨💥

Set up for the night
It may be the small set up, but we sure pack a punch!
This was our first time working with Noki and honestly it was such a blast!! Him and his team were so helpful and sweet souls. Answering any and all questions that we had. They even provided some decorative fans for us to sell, knowing it gets super hot in this perticular venue.
An Unforgettable Night: Selling Art at a Free EDM Show with Amazing Vibes
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being part of something truly special — not just another art show, but an unforgettable night at a free show. If you’ve ever had the chance to experience a local underground EDM scene, you’ll know that it’s a world brimming with energy, passion, and creativity. And this event was no exception.
As an art vendor, I’ve participated in many events, but this one felt like a perfect fusion of art, music, and community. Let me tell you why it was so incredible.
A New EDM Producer with Big Dreams
The night kicked off with an electric atmosphere that was instantly contagious. The EDM producer behind the event was new to the scene but already showed the potential to create something really special. What struck me right away about him was his energy. Not only was he incredibly humble, but he was also deeply passionate about creating a space where everyone could come together and experience music and art in a raw, authentic way.
It was a free show, which was honestly so refreshing. It gave everyone — whether you were a die-hard EDM fan or someone just looking for a good night out — the opportunity to vibe out to something fresh and exciting, all while supporting local talent. The producer’s music, which was a mix of hard-hitting bass and ethereal melodic builds, set the tone for the night and had everyone dancing before the first beat even dropped.
Wrapping Up: A Night to Remember
As the night wound down, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the experience. Not only did I get to sell my art in a space filled with amazing people and music, but I also got to witness something truly magical — a community coming together to celebrate art in all its forms.
This EDM producer may be new to the scene, but he’s already making waves with his inclusive approach, his passion for creativity, and his ability to bring people together. If his next show is anything like this one, I’ll be there in a heartbeat — not just to sell my art, but to experience the magic all over again.
It was a night full of good vibes, good people, and an energy that’s hard to put into words. If you’re ever in the area and you see this producer’s name on a flyer, trust me — you’ll want to be there. You never know what creative synergy you might experience next.
Customer Spotlight: Thank You for Rocking Those Sunglasses All Night!
One of the absolute best parts of what I do is getting to meet the incredible people who appreciate my work — and even better, those who connect with it enough to make it part of their own lives. This week, I want to give a special shout-out to one of my amazing customers who not only purchased a pair of sunglasses at my booth during a recent event but also rocked them all night long — and looked absolutely killer doing it.

the set up before the night went CRAZY!
Ambient Alchemists never seems to upset me with how amazing their shows turn out to be. Its always a great night and tons of wonderful people. So many new faces and friends that we got to work with. Pleasure to meet and see you are as always. This show was Ambient Alchemists largest production to date, literally and figuratively. They welcomed ‘The Widdler’ back to Pittsburgh for his Zero G album tour to celebrate the release of the Zero G album. This was his first ever album release coinciding with an album tour, and we all got to be apart of it!
We are so proud to have played a role in this special debut showcase. The Alchemists killed it with sounds that complimented The Widdler with the supporting artists, Yoko, Sqonk, and ikhanhik. Additionally, Astrelle delighted the audience with an enchanting performance during the final 30 minutes. The venue buzzed with energy decorated by talented live painters and unique vendors selling their clothing & crafts. Bright lasers danced through the air paired with the powerful sound of Danley speakers, creating a vibrant atmosphere that kept everyone on their feet. This event was meant to be exceptional and with the remarkable individuals listed below, they successfully achieved that vision.
It got so spicy in there, that the fire alarm started going off during the Widdlers performance!

Our booth for the night at Remedy.
This was our first time ever being here and honestly it was a very unique looking space. Even though we had a smaller set up than usually we made a killing AND it was on a Wednesday. Alexa put together a wonderful show and we were very happy to be apart of it.
She hosts a party once a month and she asked to have us back for the December show! We can’t wait to be back again. We got to meet a bunch of new friends which was really exciting. We hope to get all the requests that was talked about throughout the night. Such wonderful compliments through and through!

Although upstairs didn’t really see any love all night, downstairs was popping after midnight. There was a bunch of parties happening in Pittsburgh the same night so this was expected to happen. However, this doesn’t mean anything for us because we still pulled through and met our quota and then some! Its always a pleasure working with Bassburgh and they are extremely helpful.
The new owners of Cativo which is now called SideQuest are really getting this place in order. They switched over to all LED lighting and I hear they are even getting a food menu! Boy we can’t WAIT for that to happen.

What a WINDY experience!
Setting up was NO easy task, but by the time it was time to get the ball rolling we were up and ready to go! A wonderful turn out to say the least. We got to hand out special treat bags to all the kids that came by the tent and got to see all their cute costumes. TRICK or TREAT! Even though we wasn’t here for long, we got to make a bunch of new friends who have hit us up for requests!! Perfect time for requesting the perfect gifts for your friends or loved ones. Just a simple message away.
We chose not to decorate to much not only because it was windy but because we had booked another place to vend after this one. Break down was easy and smooth.
ATTENTION EVERYONE!
WE NOW HAVE CANDLES FOR SALE.

About Artist
Chee
After several years of lateral experimentation in sound design, South African producer CHEE erupted into the international bass scene following a handful of successful self-releases and releases through the Dutch label, UNDERSLUNG.
Once the music began circulating, his sonic innovation and advanced production skills quickly gained the attention of many prime figures in the industry, gaining him support from Noisia, Amon Tobin, DJ Craze, Mat Zo, Culprate, G Jones, and more.
Ambient Alchemists absolutely blew us away with this show. To date, this is the best show sale wise and we couldn't be more happier. All the new faces we got meet were just so sweet and remarkable. Everyone had such kind things to say and we appreciate you all so much.
The staff at the Squirrel Hill Sports Bar were all so friendly and helpful throughout the night. The DJs all sounded amazing with visuals that were out of this world. Beautifully put together through and through.
The space that we had provided was not nearly big enough to show off everything at this location but think we got it down pat to where its a little bit of everything for everyone!
All set up and stocked before all hell broke loose.

Even though we couldnt see the show, we definitely could hear it and thats all that really matters in the end! We was set up conviently by the bathrooms so people had something to gander at while they waited in line.
The staff was very friendly and the floor security seemed to be pretty available for all those who needed. We met some pretty cool vendors and got a few new faces that stopped by our booth. As well as our friends who just can’t seem to get enough. We love and appreciate all of you.
A smaller version of our normal set up but hey we still get the job done! We hope to be back for more Slayd Production shows in the future. Its always a pleasure.

Squirrel Hill Sports Bar was nothing less of a great time for us. The music, visuals and sound were amazing and beautiful to say the least. The venue itself was the first time we have every been there and even though we couldn’t bring everything, it was definitely still worthwhile for us. The entire staff that we came in contact with was very polite and helpful.
The small set up was super fun, easy and fast. We had a little bit of everything newer that we started making such as finger phone stands, fidget spinners, croc charms, chokers, earrings, horns, spoons, dabbers, roach clips, and sunglasses!
Seeing a bunch of new faces always makes me happy, but seeing the old faces come back for more makes my heart warm. We appreciate all the kind words and support. If anyone has any requests for anything that we make, anything is customizable.

Lastly, We just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity to be a vendor for another Bassburgh Promotions show. Its always a pleasure working with Chris Stankey and the crew! Keep us in mind in the future. We would love to return!
Behind the Scene! Part 2
The Perfect Birthday Gift:
Custom unicorn lamp made specially for someone special
Finished custom unicorn lamp attached to the base
Without naming names to hide identity. A man came to us towards the end of a show a couple months ago and told us that his significant other would just love our style of work and started asking questions about if I had anything unicorn.
I started explaining about the possibilities of what I could make and he just said he wanted something that she could keep forever. My mind started soaring through all the possible things when I decided to come up with this. After he explained some of her interests, colors, vibes, and styles. We collectively decided, this would be the perfect gift.
Unicorn Head made out of epoxy resin with added acrylic paint for design purposes. Dried moss added onto the base with some real animal bones collected from various conventions.
Bones: Minx Vertebrae, Raccoon Foot Bones, & Badger Toe Bones
Thank you for trusting me with making the perfect gift.
Unicorn lamp plugged in before the final animal bones were added.
Red Flower Coffin Custom:
A lovely lady gave me the opportunity to turn her dream into reality.
Big thank you to the very patient and generous gal who gave me the chance to make her the perfect box. All she did was send me over a message with exactly what she was looking for and I came up with this and she had no doubts that she wanted it.
Seeing all our customers happy with art that we make just brings me joy and thats why we continue to do this.
Thanks for all the support from you guys. It means a lot.

Cattivo is a CASH ONLY venue. There is an ATM but please prepare ahead of time and bring cash!!
Each time we set up somewhere, the set up just gets bigger and bigger with more things to search and sift through. Kinda reminds me of Goodwill. You never know what you are going to find, but you somehow always end up finding that right special weird thing for you.
We have plenty of variety of things for everyone to have something that suits them. This past Friday was a great example of that. So many different characters that came up to us and found the most perfect things. Whether it was for themselves, a loved one, or a friend. Every sale is much appreciated and I can’t thank you all enough for all the love and support that you continue to show us.
Yet another crazy night at Cattivo, the staff is nothing short of helpful when it comes to having to set up for events here. We have two eight foot tables that get set up and requires a little square of space. Moving the pool tables are a big part of set up and we are very thankful for the staff helping us everytime.
Debut of our new inventory: Finger phone stands & Spinners
Working with Bassburgh Promotions for the first time, I can say was definitely a blast! All questions and comments were answered right away leading up to the show which is always a huge help. Promoting each other was definitely a huge help towards the outcome of the show for both parties, leading to a success for all. It was a pleasure to work with you all and we would be happy to do so again next time!
Superstar shoppers of the night never failed to keep bringing back more and more people because they got complimented on their purchases. From the earrings, to the choker, to the sunglasses, they are SLAYIN’. Thanks girls for all the business and hope to see you next time!

The DJ’s had the place bumpin’ through the night, we just couldn’t help but to dance in our booth all night. The audio and visuals were spectacular and overall just an amazing show. Shoutout to everyone who played their part because it was an absolute amazing night.
Shoutout to the muscles behind the operation, Eric Turner. I don’t know what I would do without all the help you do. Don’t ever forget it!

Originally starting life as a trio, North London outfit Ivy Lab were brought together out of a shared enthusiasm for experimentations on the fringes of the UK bass music scene. The years that followed saw them go from strength to strength, earning a place in ‘The top 10 DJ’s of 2015’ (Mixmag) and propagating a new generation of hip-hop inspired abstractions housed within the framework of their ’20/20 LDN’ project.
The duo now find themselves at the apex of the ‘Halftime’ / ‘Future Beats’ / movement – A motley assortment of actors from across the bass music landscape applying their sonic-heritage to experiments with hip-hop and drum machine electronica.
Ivy Lab invested further in the exploration of this sound with the creation of their ‘20/20 LDN’ clubnight. Housed primarily at Brixton’s Phonox nightclub, it earned the characterisation of “ultra innovative” (Timeout Magazine) and a “London standout” (Mixmag).
Our set up before the activities started
April 19th, What a night to remember. Back to back weekends of us vending and we managed to still have tons of new stuff for you guys. The sunglasses yet again went crazy! This was our first time vending at the Thunderbird and it was definitely one of our favorites so far. The staff was so sweet and kind and was able to help us find the perfect spot to set up.
just a short quick close up video of the table before everyone started showing up.
Shoutout to a few of our customers for letting us show off the goods! You guys are amazing and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you all. So once again thank you!
(If you bought anything and you have some good pictures with them, pls send them via fb messenger and I can definitely post them too!)
Ivy Labs getting DOWN!
Right to our left was the stage, and every performance was absolutely mind blowing from the DJ’s to visuals to even the live painters that were there! The kitchen prepared excellent food for us before the show starts. As well as shoutout to Michael Essay to having us for his event. A very well organized individual to work for and we would be more than happy to work for again! Very great hospitality and very humble. Thank you again.

The set up
April 12th was an absolute killer night. We had our sunglasses debut and it absolutely took OFF. Selling a whopping 20 sunglasses! We couldn’t be more great full for all the support from all of our customers.
Making art for you guys is more about the business. Its about the customers, seeing all of you look through all the things and try on stuff that we made personally by hand is just a loving experience that brings me joy.
Sunglasses inventory for the show started.
Slayd Productions is just hands down a great company to work for. All the staff that they hire is always so kind, helping us keep our stuff from walking away. Luckily we have had absolutely no theft from this show. Cattivo staff is also very helpful with letting us rearrange there upstairs to even have us fit nicely!
12:30 AM downstairs crowd
Everyone who has come into contact with us has been so nice and friendly and supportive that we just can’t wait to be back for some more!
All the DJ’s did a superb job to say the least. The crowds were going wild on both floors all night for a jam packed busy evening for us.
