Set against the backdrop of its enchanting, art-filled forest, attendees can look forward to the signature blend of top tier electronic talent that Elements Festival is known for, offering a diverse range of sounds and experiences suited to every taste.

Featuring some of the most noteworthy names in dance music, headliners for the 2025 edition include celebrated chart-topping superstar Illenium, world renowned electronic musician deadmau5, electronic visionary Rezz, Deadbeats label heads Zeds Dead, high priestess of hard techno Sara Landry, and energetic performance duo Sofi Tukker (DJ Set).

The stacked billing expands with the darker sonics of forward thinking producer Liquid Stranger, the return of legendary house act Claude VonStroke, trip-hop pioneer Tipper, UK drum & bass flag bearers Chase & Status, and the larger than life DJ Diesel aka Shaquille O’Neal.

House and techno enthusiasts can look forward to performances from in demand collaborator Wax Motif, Dutch sensation Mau P, techno powerhouse Eli Brown, esteemed house production duo SIDEPIECE, piano-house icon LP Giobbi, techno new school selector Layton Giordani, and fast riser Max Styler.

Hard hitting sonics will also prevail with acts like rock-influenced dance pioneers Sullivan King B2B Kayzo, meteoric electronic acts Levity and Tape B who will play individual sets in addition to a B2B, drum & bass producer Reaper, and rising Toronto bass DJ and producer Canabliss among the phase one slate.

“We’re thrilled to bring you our most diverse lineup yet – featuring top current acts, emerging talent, throwback classics, and fresh genres for curious explorers. With “Flavors” across four main stages and smaller experiences, we encourage wandering to discover something new. A big thank you for all the awesome ideas we got from our DJ survey participants – you’re partners in shaping the future of Elements Festival!”, says Elements Co-Founder Timothy Monkiewicz.

Elements Festival’s four main stages embody the natural forces it celebrates. The Fire stage crackles with high-energy performances for thrill seekers, while Earth transforms into a surreal dreamscape of glowing trees, cosmic mushrooms, and floating jellyfish. Air serves as a hidden sanctuary of sound nestled deep within the woods, while Water becomes a sunlit playground with acrobats, playful characters, and festivalgoers are encouraged to embrace swimwear and dive into an immersive 360° stage experience.

Elements has evolved into a standout multi-day camping festival, thriving at its location of Long Pond set in the woodlands near the racetrack featuring an on-site solar farm to drive sustainability initiatives. Fans can explore art cars reminiscent of Burning Man and rows of guest-created theme camps known as Vibe Villages amidst the grounds, large-scale art installations, interactive performances, and 3D video projection mapping, alongside a Health & Wellness lineup offering yoga, sound baths, aromatherapy, dance, comedy, and multidisciplinary workshops.

Elements Co-Founder Brett Herman adds, “At Elements you’re living on a different planet for 3-4 days. There’s so much to experience beyond the music, there’s always something happening in the Bizarre, Fun Factory, Plaza, Wellnest, and countless other places in the festival grounds… Just moving from place to place you’re guaranteed to strike sparks, start a side quest, and find like-minded vibes.”

One of the most unique things about Elements is its participatory culture. From fans hosting interactive camps in the Vibe Villages, to curating pop-up performances along the paths and creating surprise happenings in the woods, the festival invites, embraces, and supports its festival family that aspire to BE the Elements.

Another cornerstone of Elements’ community spirit is the Art of Change program, designed to uplift marginalized voices. In 2024, the program focused on environmental change. Applications for the 2025 Art of Change program will open closer to the event, while submissions for Vibe Villages, artists, and performers are now live.

Tier Three GA and VIP passes are available through the official Elements Festival website as well as an all-new option for 2025, dubbed the “Entourage Pass”, which grants backstage access & more. Attendees can choose from diverse accommodations, including car camping, glamping, nearby hotels, and ready-to-go RVs or tents. Shuttle passes, providing transport from major Northeast cities, are also on offer for those preferring not to drive.

Wranglers Media corespondents and resident bass heads, Moana the Explorer and Lucienda Rosalita made their way to the Smashville for a New Year’s Eve celebration that transformed the Nashville Fairgrounds into the city’s most anticipated new end-of-year party. This two-day event showcased BLNK CNVS’s growing presence in the Southeast and expertise in curating premier electronic music events.

“To The Future” lineup showcased some of the biggest names in electronic music. Leading the bill was iconic production duo Ganja White Night and rising bass star Wooli, alongside special guest performances from the legendary Apashe and beloved EDM acts Trivecta and ATLiens. The lineup also featured a roster of support from underground electronic favorites, including Chee, Ivy Lab (DNB Set), Mary Droppinz, Smoakland, Trivecta, YDG, Meduso, and Zen Selekta. They knew from the beginning, this was to be a happy New Year. 

Renowned for dynamic event productions, BLNK CNVS brought its unique flair to Nashville’s vibrant scene, marking a significant milestone by introducing a new celebration format within an industrial, raw setting, promising an unmatched atmosphere.

Greasy was the name of the game as the ladies celebrated Ganja White Night for the first time in a while. Deep, pounding slam jams rocked the space and the warehouse became the wiggle room to the delight of all. In what would be their first time serving as media correspondents, no prisoners were taken and not a dry eye was left in the house.

“Nashville is our second home and we have so much love for this city, it just makes perfect sense to launch our first ever NYE event here.” 

One thing we’ve learned over the last few years is that when Moana feels the urge to explore and set off in search for adventure, there’s no stopping her. Don’t ask where she is, no one knows. Likely sitting somewhere in a confused daze or being stepped on by inconsiderate camp mates. All previous choices had led them here, so obviously no mistakes had been made. Plan A is still in effect.

BLNK CNVS is a pioneering event production company based in Miami, Florida, renowned for transforming the landscape of live entertainment in the Southeast since its inception in 2017. Specializing in electronic music events, BLNK CNVS has made its mark by hosting an array of unforgettable experiences across a variety of venues, from intimate clubs to large-scale festivals.

Thank you to everyone involved in the silliness. BLNK CNVS has their thumb on the pulse of slick fun. Keep up with them and find out where their next party is going to happen. You just might find yourself on the rail.

With perhaps the nadir of the sufferings and an oncoming snowstorm behind her, Lucienda Rosalita finally managed to escape the high country winter. She had been trapped between what had become a constant struggle with Grandma Francis’ broken Oldsmobuick and a December rich with all manner of hard weather. At its pinnacle, she had broken icicles off the edge of the house and inverted them on the deck railings creating a kind of ice fortress. These are the symptoms of cabin fever and had it not been for the acid and 1979 Gerry Rafferty album, Night Owl, she may surely have succumbed to its embrace and slipped beneath the dark waves of the abyss.

With a passion for music and culture at its core, BLNK CNVS aims to connect audiences with innovative performances and immersive atmospheres. Find the BLNK CNVS website online and like their social media channels on Facebook, Instagram and X. Welcome to the future.

Was this the same Mona who’d served sandy pizza at Hulaween? Was this the same crazy broad who tried to plant a corn stalk in someone’s brain? Hard yes. Folks can be plenty to handle when they think they’re being clever. At the end of the day she was still breathing free air. She had actually held it together for once and there was no need for metal bracelets.

Keep up with Wranglers Media as we head back to Florida spring festival season for Suwannee Spring Reunion at Spirit of Suwannee Music Park and beyond. Join us on our ten-year anniversary tour and thank you for making us a cornerstone of  your online music promotion magazines.   Namaste y’all.

The post BLNK CNVS “To the Future” New Year’s Party appeared first on wook wranglers.

Friday’s festivities kicked off in grand style with teen mandolin prodigy Wyatt Ellis and his top-tier band. The young group delivered a colorful set of bluegrass classics, original compositions, and innovative arrangements that set an inspiring tone for the weekend. Later, legendary Texas country savant Robert Earl Keen made a rare live appearance since the announcement of his hiatus in 2022 and treated fans to a number of singalongs, including his signature “Beer Run,” “Feelin’ Good Again,” and, fittingly, “Merry Christmas From the Family.” Closing out the night were award-winning Americana/soul duo The War and Treaty. The husband and wife pair brought their red-hot energy and cheeky storytelling to a packed Friday night crowd, leaving everyone on their feet and buzzing with excitement.

On Saturday, Lakeland-based Van Plating ignited early arrivals with an infectious set from her aptly-named third studio album, Orange Blossom Child, before honky tonk heartache Emily Nenni took the stage with her soulful blend of country and rock. Later, Sam Grisman and his impeccable ensemble gathered around an old school condenser mic and delivered a heartfelt tribute to the music and legacy of David “Dawg” Grisman while sprinkling in familiar favorites from the repertoires of Old & In The Way, The Grateful Dead, and more. Asheville-based bluegrass luminaries Steep Canyon Rangers then brought forth an epic hour of picking, highlighting the group’s dynamic musicianship, tight harmonies, and deep roots in Appalachian tradition. Drawing an unforgettable weekend to a close, JJ Grey and Mofro returned to the OBR stage for a second year in a row, unleashing an electrifying set packed with their biggest anthems and fan favorites, even delivering multiple encores. Reflecting on his return, Grey expressed his affection for Orange Blossom Revue, enthusiastically declaring, “This is our second time playing this festival, but by gosh, if they’ll have us, we’ll play year after year!”

As the 10th anniversary of Orange Blossom Revue comes to a close, festival co-founder Reid Hardman looks back on the incredible journey that has brought the event to its milestone year. “It’s been an amazing ride to see this festival grow from a small gathering to a thriving celebration of music and community,” said Hardman. “This event is our love letter to our home town of Lake Wales, and we’re so grateful for the fans, artists, and everyone involved who believed in us enough to do this again and again. Here’s to many more years of bringing people together in celebration of this incredible town that we hold so close to our hearts.”

With a decade of success behind it, Orange Blossom Revue is poised for even greater celebrations in the years to come, starting with its 11th annual event taking place December 5-6, 2025.

The post Orange Blossom Review “25: Florida Festival Winter appeared first on wook wranglers.

This is just a simple recollection of the past year, honest and littered with disparages. Still decorated with bleached, plastic flowers not stolen from a cemetery. Relax Francis. Not that you remember, but you were there. They say no two people remember an event exactly the same. It’s so easy to slip. But are we beating a dead horse? Are you what the fellas on Beech Mountain call a one trick pony? Sit back, dear reader and let yourself sail back to 2024 and like Drunkle Clayopheus said, “figure what needs figurin’.” Don’t worry little missie, there are no tiles allowed on this ride. Your map slave is working upside down and you’re still lost. It’s safe and no one knows where you are. It might even be time for you to not know where you are. It’s the 2024 Year in Review: Geolocation Disabled.

Are you lost? Do you want to be? Have you been found? Thankfully. For the lucky ones, it was another year of breathing free air and for a few, the debt had been paid. For others, the grinding of the gears was just beginning. Don’t you think you’ve paid the boatman enough? To hell with that guy. There were those who roped in thugs from the shadow places. Like Ma Roux said, “Collect the little dabs of dried toothpaste they leave in your sink and serve them back as wedding breath mints.” Welcome to the high vibration. It wasn’t that I mind if anyone was tracking my movements, but it seemed like a serious misallocation of company resources. What happened to our pension fund? For as long as I could remember, I’d been hoping someone would steal my identity, but the obvious question is why anyone would want to?

It was a year of branching out with new family and strengthening old bonds. The camp was now littered with admitted degenerates with no regard for the old ways. But there was something unusual in the stale, sandy pizza they served. Their sand had a different texture. Like the silky-smooth grit of diatamaceous earth as it removes the unwanted leftovers from your gullet. It was Black Warrior who, in 1890 asked, “Who could hold on to the wind from a burning teepee or dumpster?”

S. Jones had learned to wear cut off shorts in certain situations as a type of litmus test. Job interview, courtroom, first date. Or combined with the Waffle House first date. Waffle House in cutoff shorts and if she comes back for another, take her to the Bubble Room. Game on. Mistakes had been made. At least two times he’d gotten drunk on rum and discussed religion and abortion with his mum. Never a great starting point between a heathen and believer. So what if he wasn’t washed in the blood. He didn’t care if he and his sister weren’t able to join her in the great reward and her confession of regret and failure as a mother was a serious bummer. Moderately heavy shit for a Friday night. How’s about we just watch a Hallmark Christmas show and fall asleep in our ice cream.

Vibra Urbana in Miami got things started and the escalation came, as always with Suwannee Roots Revival and some harsh megaphone opinions from the wrecking crew.

Lacking in all the usual luster. The ladies harvested in unwashed at Resonate while Ka’aoli reallocated his own short bus of idiotas and steered for Austin, Texas and the complete totality of inappropriate delusions. His hypothesis involved measurable electrons charging his tan starfish within a fixed location on the flat part of the Earth. Oh yeah, also within the snow globe of the firmament. Like weather manipulation, sciencey. The cosmogony is yours. Pedro’s Cabinet of Expired Narcotics hosted Hobo Kamp for Suwannee Resonate and the failure to appear summons along with the restraining orders have been referred to KH legal team. 888-888-8888. Ask for Ka’aoli.

Just the protips. Gaylord, Lord of the Gays didn’t support genital mutilations and among his staunchest suggestions was not to order calamari in the Vatican. Dirty bird was seen eating vermin in Panajachel. Don’t look now but science has caught up with you. It might be time to consider a circumcision reversal. And when considering a hunting dog, know that Black Labrador Retrievers will not eat their owners after death. Somewhere along the way the crew had time to work Shaky Knees, Hangout, Bonnaroo, Oceans Calling and who can remember what else. Half of the time the Buick was in the shop, the other half of the time it was being used to make money for the most recent or next repair.

They called Summer Camp by another name but just about everything else was the same. Sporting, to be sure. Pedro’s closet of regrets took its spot in the dark of the forest. No one sees the outside from the deep shadows within. The stages, bars and whatever else is great at Summer Camp, but the forest is where the magik happens. Thank you for allowing the monkeys to take over the insane asylum. Even after leaving her self-respect in a cardboard box at Lost and Found and absorbing the curiosities that ride shotgun alongside the “hard goodbye”, there is safety within its boughs. It’s all fun and games until someone whispers that your buddy is a cop. Hard meow? Turn to page 47 if you want to keep riding this bus.

It was a time to be thankful for friends. They had leveled some moderately serious allegations in her direction but her friends were stalwart in their devotions. She’d seen strong families cleave themselves from each other for money, divorce, whatever. Houses built on sand. She found it empowering to collect new cousins into her lineage even as she was being collected into other houses. Planned marriages. Extending kingdoms. The petri dish in full effect.

Stolen identities and poorly trained professional astronauts at Mountain Music Festival? Astro-not on my watch. Never boring and surprisingly intimate, the Iceman hoodwinked his way into MMF at Ace Adventure Resort in the middle of New River Gorge, West Virginia. Who is in charge of security when this guy can slither in as a media corespondent? Jedi wook mind trick. All truths aside, that type of animal has cut their teeth sneaking into Phish shows even before their tits have fallen off. One of the obvious benefits of the methamphetamine lifestyle is it allows the user to be skinny enough to sneak through the fence into the VIPness. Mountain glory at its best. Look for the B team on the beer taps. More than one free beer? Code Red? We don’t need no badges.

In the dojo of a thousand lost memories, many thanks to Maso the forlorn. Next time it will be the wisdom teeth. Watch the six old boy, but I digress, some of these polices are best kept close to the vest. In a mire of drunken confusion they’d left Ocean City with a greater understanding of how sweet Thai chili sauce can be used to compliment jalapeno poppers.

In what has become a cornerstone of the summer work loop, EForest showed the lessons that only General Admission can offer. Pirate flags, code reds and human test apes were the order of the day and Pedro resented the muddiest Ortiz Flea Market version of the truth. Team B made camp in the Cherry Orchard with what the old folks refer to as “higher stock”.

You are encouraged to join the happy space of the snappy repertoire. Don’t worry baby, the buck stops here. Welcome to the cul-de-sac of blame. Or what your people call responsibility. Don’t worry, PTSD is not just for soldiers anymore and at the turn of the millennia, Indians litter just as much as anyone. Don’t cry for me Argentina.

FloydFest. As we found our footing on the new mountain, so did the festival find its footing on us. Like a tiny Vietnamese woman walking down your back in high heels. At times serving as non-examples and at others, the key that opens all doors. Well within the learning curve. Everything is being revealed, grasshopper. Thanks always to the FF family for being consistent which is meant as the greatest compliment in terms of both their insanity and work ethic. The great ones find ways to make it easier for everyone. Less talk, more rock.   

Mondegreen. Trey Sees Me. The best surprise of the year and Lucy’s first Phish festival. Maso continued to lay down the Phish funk from the jukebox in Ocean City, Maryland until the old people started giving him the side eye. Knots of light pulling the body in contorted directions. At least he didn’t feel like an interloper as he slept in the front of Mason’s van, which reeked of wet shoes, bad chicken and stale urine.

Thieves stealing from thieves. How do legit hoodlums spend their time? They spent most nights at Gatsby’s enjoying live music, private shows under the stoop and loose fun in the guest house. Please shower before entering the pool. Dover is f’sho down with hood rat shit. Look for the guy on the tiny motorcycle. Loose lips sink ships. Choices had been made. Lucy was almost too sideways to work and the chickens were coming home to roost. Some headlines are best left unpublished.

Another year has come and gone. 2024 had as much as action and spunk as any prior. People were still busy about with their personal stuff and still no one wanted to hear any advice from anyone else. Nobody was overly thrilled to hear your story about “getting high at the show”. In earlier generations, intelligence was equated with the ability to listen. Not be confused with the inability to contribute. The man who could actively listen without interrupting might often be considered intelligent, without having to say a word. I’m trying to learn to stay out of my own way. It’s been said, “If someone else tried to kick my ass as much as I do, boy I would be in trouble.”

It’s Daryl’s fault. Lucy still had larval seed ticks feeding on the capillaries around the corner of her eyes. The original harvest had not all been eradicated and the second generation of arichnae were now living comfortably on and in her epidermis. When you lie down with dogs, you get fleas. Hashtag truth.

Hulaween continues to morph into something particularly otherworldly as, over the years, we work on the building. The Hulaween wedding of the year is still just like taking sand to the beach. Fake weddings in Florida are just as hot as real weddings. So you’re saying I’m not really a homewrecker? Heckfire, by the end of the day I might not even be a bad son or a dead-beat dad. Oh, how the tables have turned. Who knew? If you live long enough you get to receive all the free cars. Check the math.

Where is TooMuch?

Keep up with Wranglers Media as we steer straight into 2025 and the ten-year anniversary tour as internet media moguls. Thanks for making us one of the cornerstones of the modern etherweb. Plan A is still in effect. No artificial intelligence, real news or monetizing but ample amounts of sideways fun and increased color. Join us as we surrender freedom in the name of security. The train leaves the station soon. Git on board and join the wook wranglers ten year anniversary tour. The singularity. Ceptin’ now Mona the Adventurer is in charge so be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Welcome to the highest vibration. Needle drop that shit. Geolocation Disabled. And don’t worry, although I did throw your tile out of the window, you should have no trouble finding it on the side of the interstate.

Continuing the tradition of engaging the Forest Family in creative reveals, Electric Forest sparked lineup speculation and excitement in the community. First posting discreet hints on official social media channels, then sending poems, limericks, and coded messages to various Loyalty Tiers via SMS, astute fans began to piece together which of their favorite artists would appear on the 2025 lineup. Finally, EF Radio, a community-driven radio platform dedicated to broadcasting frequencies from The Forest, spun a curated playlist of artists on the lineup, mixed with messages from fans who called in and correctly guessed 2025 artists, leading into the official lineup reveal.

Electric Forest provides a participatory sanctuary for creative expression and limitless connection.
