If you’re looking to submit your mind within a world where electronic music meets imagination , then we have found the perfect solution just for you. Dreamscape Festival is one of Maryland’s must see gem destinations within the Darlington region. It’s being hosted at Camp Ramblewood, one of the states most premiere event venues consisted of obstacle courses , a lake , swing sets , pool parties and plenty of shaded areas for camping. Can we take a second to just appreciate what a beautiful job was done curating such a beautiful lineup that encompasses every bassheads dream for festival acts. Leading the march is Rusko and G Jones for the main closing acts of each day,  accompanied by other strong hold houses such as Ternion Sound, Minnesota, Vampa, Illanthropy and others. If you’re looking to dive deep into some of the bass scenes fastest rising underground acts , then you might as well be in heaven. Let’s take a deeper dive into the minds of festival directors Nicole Tossas and John Normal, individuals who have thankfully given us this opportunity and are working day in and day out to ensure a successful Dreamscape 2022 for all attendees.

“There has been a lot of hype on social media this week and we’re noticing a lot of newcomers to our brand which is very exciting and we expect a lot of positive energy and excitement. The weather is going to be be absolutely amazing and perfect for our daily pool parties. We really expect that this will be a fantastic return for Dreamscape!”

What is the mission behind the curation of this years Dreamscape festival?

The original 3 years of Dreamscape Festival focused on making sure every genre had a fair amount of representation. That type of curation can be difficult these days for a midsized festival and a lot has changed in the last 5 years. We decided to carefully curate around what we felt was a defining theme for the rebirth of Dreamscape, with a focus amazing artists that do not regularly play in local markets.

Given this years main acts are Rusko and G Jones, what was the thought process for selecting these two individuals to headline such a festival?

Both artists have made such a massive imprint in bass music while simultaneously producing music on different parts of a wide bass music spectrum. 
We understand yourself and your team may be very preoccupied ensuring the success of the event with day to day operations , but if you could relax and catch 3 sets which ones would they be and why?
It’s hard to say because we booked a lot of artists who we feel represent the vibe of what we are going for. Each stage has people who are producing absolutely brilliant tracks that we feel need to be heard.
What do you wish to accomplish by the end of the event and can we expect any other future plans along the line already in the works?
Dreamscape was originally one of the first events in the area to provide a fully immersive experience.. We love to put together a good lineup that tells a story from the time a stage starts the whole way to the end. However in addition to great music, we aim to bring interaction and connections that go beyond music from activities, workshops, and experiences. 
Our goal is to build on the framework of this year and into future years.

Bringing all of the energy to the first night of Okeechobee, Eprom will deliver all of the weird bleep bloops and alien noises your heart desires and more!

Clozee- Known for both her euphoric uptempo and melodic downtempo sounds as well as her immense amount of talent on the violin, Clozee is another artist on this lineup that brings something special to each set. Her amazing combination of bass music accompanied by live instrumentals is an experience you don’t want to miss live.

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 !
