Only going up from here ❤️
Wow
super happy with how the visuals turned out for this event, thank you to everybody who showed up! :)
Gearing up for the next level in our mission to bring top tier electronic music events to Iowa!
Man oh man, from Matt Rissi with Solar Cathedral, To Patrick Blin with IowaTechno, the big thing about the electronic music culture here in Cedar Rapids is that this was the only part of Iowa with a true RAVE scene. Shows that go until sunrise, thick warehouses with tons of people having the time of their lives. Sure, anybody can throw a show at a venue or a bar, but these guys straight took sh*t UNDERGROUND. The first electronic event I ever went to is when I snuck into a pornstars ball when I was 16😅 since then I’ve been to as many shows as I could make it to for the past decade. I really don’t want IowaTechno to go away, and I’m hoping it’s not true. If it REALLY is true though, then I guess my promise to Pat is the same one I made to Matt when he blessed me with his rig:
I will do everything I can to keep the rave scene alive here in Iowa.
We love you Patrick Blin & IowaTechno

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:
Saint Lavant
Saint Lavant, a Cedar Rapids native, has always been drawn to the rhythms and melodies introduced during the 90’s golden era of hip hop since a young boy. As he grew older his tastes evolved along with the genre while he gravitated towards the stylings of the east coast music scene. Through experiencing the positive messages he received in his musical tastes, he learned to understand the power that the right song and lyrics can have on a person, and with the desire to help heal his community, he set on a path to do everything in his power to imbue those same feelings and experiences into his own work. A newcomer to the Iowa EDM scene, he has quickly grown to be a fan favorite by incorporating heavy bass with an overall uplifting hip hop atmosphere enveloping his performances. This man is on a mission to heal others and that is why his friends and peers have decidedly dubbed him as “Saint Lavant”. This man is about to have y’all POP, LOCKING ,and DROPPING IT all over the dance floor!!

Happy to have partied with all of you, and we’re so grateful for the team we had.
Took roughly a dozen people just to set all that up and tear down and that entire team was made up of volunteers, and it’s just so amazing the kind of magic you can create when you get together with your friends❤️
Anyway, here’s a slick video I got of last night, try to find yourself in the video and tag it😆
