This past weekend, I was baptized by the dust of the Utah desert and became a proper desert raver at Incandescence. It was a 2 day music and art camping festival in Delle, featuring a wide array of artists and several stages spread out across the area. HVLON, the artists who guessed on The Dancing Dreamers with DJ Damashii back in April, performed an awesome set that started out with dubstep and shifted into house, and the crowd was loving every second of it!
It was seriously such an amazing experience for me. Everyone I met had such great vibes and positive energy that my typical shyness went out the window and I felt super comfortable talking to anyone who crossed paths with me. I had never been to a burner-type event before, so I had no idea what to expect. But it was so awesome seeing such a huge mix of ravers and burners! I really think that Liberatus Entertainment, the production company that put the whole thing together, is on to something here with trying to unite the burners and the ravers.
The festival was a huge fundraiser for this year’s Element 11, Utah’s regional Burning Man event. If this was a tiny taste of what E11 will be like, I am super stoked to attend that as well!
Special thanks goes out to Julien, Asher, and the wonderful team they have at Rave Relief for providing us all with free water, sunscreen, and snacks throughout the weekend. Those guys are seriously lifesavers and I am so glad that they are so dedicated to their mission.
