Top 5 MUST HAVE Camping Items for Okeechobee Music Festival 2022

Top 5 MUST HAVE Camping Items for Okeechobee Music Festival 2022

The time has come where we get to reunite once again within the beautiful portal that leads to paradise , normal folks just like to it Okeechobee however. After taking a two year hiatus due to you know what and being saved thanks to the purchase of Insomniac, the OMF team has finally regrouped to show once again why Okeechobee is one of the Sunshine states leading camping festivals within the music industry. Unfortunately after such a long break, there is that possibility that one may get rusty in terms of camping preparation. Lucky for you, we have a short and sweet simple top five list that is bound to save you quite the head ache upon arrival.

Warm clothes & thick blankets: You may be thinking , ” Why do I need that if it’s called the sunshine state? “, when we say to just trust us on this one just do it. Don’t worry about the sunshine , there will be PLENTY of that without a doubt as well. If you’re a OMF veteran like us from the very beginning , then you absolutely already know how cold it gets night. Don’t double think it, bring that worm attire and you can just thank us later unless of course you like it when your bones shiver at night.

Ear plugs: You know those funny memes of the random wooks that may stumble into your campsite trying to still party, or loud neighbors playing music who have no sense of time that just seem to be made of lithium. Well it’s all fun and games until you can’t sleep at night after all the shenanigans if Patrick from camp pee pee poo poo won’t stop making horse noises if you know what I’m saying. Unless you’ve trained your mind in the art of noise cancellation , bring those ear plugs so you can sleep like a baby once rested in your tent.

Water: This one might seem like an absolute no brainer but is it really or were you just more focused on how much beer you can fit in your vehicle before you friends start questioning your sanity. Bring tons of it, you will run out eventually and your body will thank you for it. The last thing you need after a long hike back to your campsite  is to take a break and to realize no one brought enough water and now you’re all out. Also please balance out your alcohol intake with plenty of water, we don’t want no one getting hurt especially when the Florida sunshine rays are built different.

Flag: If you’ve been a victim of participating in the brutal maze game of just going around in circles and not finding your campsite when returning back at night , well good news because you’re not alone. All you want to do is to finally go back and get rest before doing it all over again the next day , a simple task some would say but have you tried doing so while under the influence? Make it easy for yourself and put up a flag at your campsite, heck even add lights to it if it makes it easier. Anything to improve the quality of your camping experience is well worth it and for easy spotting of course.

Good Vibes: No one likes a party pooper, especially not a Okeechobee music festival camping party pooper. Whatever problems , drama , inconveniences , or issues you may deal with in the outside world , that’s probably the best place to leave it , outside. Here at the beautiful camp grounds of OMF , we are here to unite as one and to celebrate life through the various forms of frequencies we will be hearing while in attendance. If you’re friend seems down, bring them up. Let’s spready the positivity and keep the good vibes flowing all weekend long !

Ampathic & Shatter Unravel The ‘Dreamscape’ via New Heater

Ampathic & Shatter Unravel The ‘Dreamscape’ via New Heater

Euphoric is an understatement when describing the feeling you get wupon listening in to today’s premiere brought to you by masterminds, Shatter & Ampathic. “Dreamscape” transports you from the real world, creating an almost weightless feeling as you journey into this alternate reality they’ve skillfully orchestrated through sound. This heavy but melodic track slips you straight into a dream as you listen, heightening each emotion with every second. Take a trip into the dreamscape with us and explore what makes today’s premiere what we like to call , a certified bop.

 

“Dreamscape” is an uplifting, heavy, beautiful track that puts you in a dreamlike nostalgic state. As the track progresses you feel almost weightless entering a new reality during its peak and slowly come back down back into your grounded self.

DIVING DEEP W/ Ampathic & Shatter

What would you tell your younger self today knowing where you’re at now and what it took to get there?

AmpathicI would tell myself to take a step back, watch…listen…..and learn. You will never hurt yourself by listening and gathering information but you can shoot yourself in the foot if you talk too soon or say the wrong thing. You can do anything you set your mind to, but listen and learn

ShatterI truly don’t think I’d give my younger self too much advice. I’ve learned so much through failure and that’s where all my drive has come from to be where I am now. Anything you want to get better at is a grind so I’d tell myself to never give up because you don’t know when and where you’ll find the success if you give up. You only find success trusting the process and putting your nose to the grindstone.

 If there was an artist you had the chance to collaborate with, who would it be and why?

Ampathic:  I would love to collab with Minnesota. I absolutely love his entire discography, so many different layers and styles within his entire project. I personally am obsessed with his song breathe i think that is a masterpiece. I believe our similar arpeggiator vibes would mesh very well together and could create something magical and heavy. Or friction because well that would just be a stinker. 

ShatterI’d really like to collaborate with King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. They have continued to be one of my main inspirations because of not sticking to a sound or genre. I highly suggest anyone to listen to them because of such a broad discography. It’s awesome to show someone a band/producer that has something they will like no matter their taste.

Future Twist Break Through w/ “Everything Is Fine In Arcadia” EP

Future Twist Break Through w/ “Everything Is Fine In Arcadia” EP

If you’ve been in search of an electronic project that can transcend through time itself thanks to their upbeat and futuristic cyber punk style , boy do we have a treat for you. Future Twist , the dynamic duo sent from the depths of an alter reality , are here to disrupt the balance of frequencies set in motion by past individuals. Time to take a dive into their newest 4 track auditory experience titled ‘Everything is Fine in Arcadia EP’ , a mind bending dystopia meant for all those looking to get down to dubstep of neon descent. Today we get the honor of premiering “O.V.E.R.” , our personal favorite of the 4. Join us as we unravel the reasoning for what makes this particular track what we like to call, a certified bop.

“O.V.E.R.” is the final screen in the immersive world of Arcadia. This track is the close of the EP, and which remix of the final boss stage, “Robot Fight Night” you listen to determines if this is a winning high-score screen, or a losing game-over.

 

DIVING DEEP W/ FUTURE TWIST

What’s one artist you’re grateful for that has inspired you to be where you are today and why?


Pixel Terror has been one of our biggest inspirations over the past few years, and it’s been a huge honor to get to know them, and play direct support for them in our hometown. They’re consistently pushing the envelope on Melodic-Yet-Heavy electronic music these days, and Ahrya’s solo Bosquet project is absolutely beautiful. They’re easily some of the most skilled and talented musicians in the industry right now.

Where  do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently ?


In a perfect world, we’d love to be regularly traveling to different states and cities, sharing a custom audio/visual experience with a heavy focus on storytelling. Our dream label right now is Monstercat, so we’d love to be sharing stages with their roster of amazing artists – but to be honest, we just want the opportunity to share our creative visions and connect with everyone who’s helping us get there. We have sooo much music we’re working on releasing right now, including collabs with some artists we’ve been fans of since highschool. We’re also focusing super heavy on our creative visual representation so that listeners can find themselves exploring our artistic worlds through more than just the music itself.

Canabliss Makes Her WAKAAN Debut via “PLASMA EP”

Canabliss Makes Her WAKAAN Debut via “PLASMA EP”

If there is one thing we enjoy more than the absolute range of frequencies that free form bass has to offer, it’ll have to be the discovery and upbringing of new artists into the spotlight.  Liquid Stranger founded label , WAKAAN , is one of the bass scenes leaders when it comes to showing who is currently in trend and is deserving of such a feature. Toronto-based artist , Canabliss , is here to showcase why she has already found an audience within the community thanks to her high ernergy yet heavy 4 track EP titled ‘PLASMA’. We have been given the opportunity to premiere our personal favorite off the project , “Safety Island” , a track that revolves itself around an auditory expierence based off dark yet eccentric atmospheres. Let’s take a further dive as to what makes this track what we like to consider, a certified bop.

“Electricity is everywhere, even in our own brains. Currents is about forming connections spiritually and physically in life. In this EP ‘Plasma’ I explored new sound design with tons of heavy bass and dark atmospheres to help express some of the more difficult times we experienced these past couple years. In Canada we’ve still been pretty much locked down without any live music available, so writing music has been my primary outlet.”

DIVING DEEP W/ CANABLISS

What’s one artist you’re grateful for that has inspired you to be where you are today and why?

I would say that all the amazing underground artists inspire me the most.
There’s so much spectacular music out there that deserves more recognition! My favourite way to get inspired is by searching through Soundcloud and finding mostly unheard gems that consist of so many innovative sounds. If I had to choose one artist I would say Ivy lab has always made a huge impression on me. They’re one of the first bass artists I had the pleasure of seeing live at a festival in Croatia 5 years ago and ever since then i’ve been blown away by the unique sounds they create.

Where  do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently ?

In 5 years I wish for my project to make a huge impact in the industry. Ive always wished to inspire others to follow their dreams and work hard to get there. I want my music to explore different areas and help bring them together. I aspire to mix prettier sounds with super dark techniques to make a unique type of bass music. I want for my visuals and music to come together to make a special experience for my listeners that automatically speaks “Canabliss”. The game plan is to work hard and keep grinding and one upping myself and creating new goals constantly!

Wolf-e-Wolf Rewires Reality w/ “Deprogram” via MorFlo Records

Wolf-e-Wolf Rewires Reality w/ “Deprogram” via MorFlo Records

It’s time for Arkansas to stand tall and proud , as they are being absolutely blasted on the map due to the efforts of one individual who just doesn’t appear to miss. Nick Wolfe , better known as Wolf-e-Wolf, is here to deliver a three track auditory experience titled “Dream System” via our friends over at MorFlo Records. If there is one man we can trust that never fails to bring the madness within the free form genre , Wolf-e-Wolf definitely takes the cake for this one and for good reason as well. If you’re in search of letting your mind roam free through the fabrics of heavy textured basslines and uplifting atmospheric melodies, we can assure you will not leave disappointed. It’s time to dive deep as to what makes today’s premiere of “Deprogram” off the EP , what we like to call a certified bop.

“I’ve been following Morflo’s journey for quite some time. I love how they push forward the melodic side of the bass music that’s often slept on by other labels and collectives. My team and I had been brainstorming the perfect label for this special EP and when Morflo was brought up, we instantly knew they were the right fit. All my interactions with their crew have always been very welcoming and positive. Feels like a group of like-minded people and I’m so stoked to join forces with them to share my next release with the world.”
DIVDING DEEP W/ WOLF-E-WOLF
What’s one artist you’re grateful for that has inspired you to be where you are today and why?
As cliche as it might sound, it really is hard to narrow it down to just one. I’ve been honored to have some really prolific artists support my project. One stand out human has to be my boy Dirt Monkey. He came along during a really tough time in my career and offered me the opportunity to be the first release on his new label 19K. Soon after that he invited me to join him on his Primatology tour and I really got to experience my first national tour. He made sure to include me with all the perks a headliner might receive and I am forever grateful for the respect and inclusivity he showed me. All that aside, dude is a straight up machine when it comes to writing tunes. I am constantly in awe of his work ethic and how many unreleased tracks he is sitting on at any given moment. Big shoutout to Patrick, love ya my dude.
Where  do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently ?
I like to imagine myself on a national headline tour featuring a full AV experience. I create most of my own graphic and visual content and it would be a dream to work with a team to fully curate the experience down to all the minute details. I’d also strive to bring along a handpicked group of artists that I believe in, that maybe haven’t received the recognition they deserve. Great music doesn’t always equate career success or tours. I’d love to do my part giving back to the next wave in the scene and putting eyes on some of these undiscovered gems out there. For my game-plan to make this happen – I’m hustling super hard this year to release more music than ever, branch out to new labels, and collab with lots of new artists that are pushing boundaries. Full grind mode in effect. I’m on “x-games mode”.
