r/submersionfestival

This is just my little love letter to submersion. Thank you to the Staff and Ryan and all the homies for putting this together. This year was absolutely immaculate vibes and music alike. There is truly no place like it and I cannot express my gratitude enough. The sound and lights and visuals were so on point all damn weekend so huge shoutout to the audio crews and VJ’s and everyone else there. To all the dance floor homies I love you and thanks for bringing the vibes. I fly across the country for this and don’t know anyone and make more friends than I could ask for every year. Can’t wait to be back❤️

Edit: PS Ryan or anyone on crew who’s booking my biggest request is an Allen Mock set at the time Doctor Jeep or Loidis played next year🙏🏻

Yoo why is everyone shading on Boogie T and not Phrva, Dr Ushuu & Richard Finger. Dr Ushuu played a very uptempo borderline riddim set at times. I left the stage for Phrva and Richard Finger was straight riddim brainrot.

Boogie T been doing this shit for years and has some fire tunes. He did a 140 warriors tour and had Chef Boyarbeatz open for him and played a straight 140 set. Boogie plays all types of shit. Way better set than the other 3 mentioned above. Not sure why he caught so much flack.

Also that ?????B2B?????? Was disappointing asf. I thought we were gonna get Boogie T B2B Distinct Motive but they had someone from Numa crew who accidentally spoke in the mic and 2 others in masks. It felt like the festival just saved money on a time slot and threw people up there.

They really made us wait for the late night sets which absolutely delivered. I still had a great Submersion and would definitely return for my 3rd year but hoping for some better bookings next year!

Directed at the haters of the music this year…yall either be doing too much drugs or not enough. The music was phenomenal. Top to bottom. Submersion doesn’t miss 🫡 As for the Boogie T/ Richard finger sets….you guessed it, A MAZE ING. Boogie T was playing tons of old school shit and I personally loved the change up. Big riddim fan, all for adding some riddim to the lineup. Keep the identity bass/ dnb, but love the addition of some riddim. 🍻 cheers to another amazing year

This was my first submersion fest but I been hitting those woods for a long time. Beardfest is a little more my scene. I’m a little older than a lot of the crowd I saw at submersion - I really came here to say it’s up to yall to demand more.

I don’t know the history or where it all stands because I know I can’t be the first person to say so but whoever owns that place and collects the $ should be ashamed for that bath house dude.

It’s a festival, it’s camping, it’s fun - it’s not supposed to be luxury, but I’m not even asking for luxury - it just needs to be better than what it is. They need to bulldoze that bathhouse down and at leas make it so the water drains right and get a few showers and toilets that are DECENT.

The younger generation doesn’t seem to drink so I guess the porta potty’s were alright for yall? I was crushing beers and for someone who has to piss it was just better to find a spot in the woods because the spots they were set up were few and far between - and they were gross.

Idk if I’ll be back to paradise lakes - I think I had my fun there but for what yall paid for in ticket price for that fest I think you should demand a little more in terms of bathroom conditions - it’s like the bare minimum in venue management.

It's a little early to say, but I think that VIER actually just played the best set of all time. Absolutely MIND blowing - full throttle for THREE STRAIGHT HOURS! Didn't know that I even had the ability to dance that hard for that long. Wrapping so many corners of electronic music into one and making it as palatable as he did, to me, is the actual next level of electronic music. Sure it was just Machinedrum, but he's ripping unreleased tune after tune from their group and to me, that makes it a VIER set, and I'm going to follow what they do to the ends of the Earth.

I do have an important question though before I can fully lean into the fandom - what was the deal with Holly? There are some really uncomfortable rumors circulating about why he was AT the festival, but didn't play both the VIER set or the sunrise set that they promoted him being on. Before I deem the entire VIER crew as my favorite gang forever and always, I think we all deserve a clear answer as to what happened.

There was a vendor there with a bunch of patchwork clothing similar to Lobo style stuff. I can’t seem to figure out who they were from the submersion app. Anyone remember the name of this vendor or have a page or website for me to check out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I was the VJ for Glitch Mob, Potions and Richard Finger! If anyone has videos or photos from any of those sets, I’d love to see them (-: feel free to message me
thanks for another incredible year yall <3

I’m not sure who put that space together or picked the videos/movies, but you did a fantastic job. As a solo person, it was so awesome to have a chill space to stop into and chat or rest or generally chill. On Friday night I got sucked into Interstellar having never seen it before and what a journey that was!!

I had a couple of cool synchronicities where the content being shown in there directly references inside jokes from my life. In the early morning hours on Sunday Labyrinth was on, a favorite of my bf and I. I walked by right as Chilly Down With The Fire Gang played. I also caught a Rick and Morty episode where Jerry turns into worms. My festival friend group chat is literally called “Worms”.

This was my first Submersion and I had a freakin blast! The music was incredible. I’m pretty new to the bass scene and this was a great way to sample a bunch of different sounds and genres in one place. Friday night at the woods stage was sooooo sick, I swear to god I shifted dimensions for a second. That UKG sound is something different man, but I digress.

Excellent vibes all around, shout out to the team that managed the Living Room space.

And not just a normal one the were abnormally large

Last song (i think) of the Artifakts Parkbreezy b2b with some violin sample, please help me with the ID. All lo killed as usual, give them a stage takeover every year.
