Unison Festival

05/29/2026

We are lit up to welcome this contemporary bass music pioneer, fusing elements of dub, world, and cutting edge down tempo dubstep, naturally delivering the listener into a vibrant netherworld of motion, mystique, and magic ✨🔥🔊🫠

Born and raised amidst the towering redwoods of Kings Mountain, California, and now thriving in Denver, Colorado, CØNTRA crafts a sound deeply rooted in nature and influenced by a life of exploration. With over a decade immersed in Denver’s vibrant bass music culture—one of the richest in the United States—Ezra Arenson (CØNTRA) has honed an organic style that bridges deep dubstep and world bass, that hits hard and resonates deeper, reflecting the sonic diversity of his journey.
slaps dynamic performances have graced festivals like Lightning in a Bottle, Lost Lands, Infrasound, Wicked Woods and The Untz, with standout performances at venues like Meow Wolf and the iconic Cervantes in Denver, his shows leave a lasting impact every time. And this September, we welcome him to Unison to open us into all new realms of wonder, wubs, and wicked good times!

⚡️ Super Early Bird tix are still available until our full lineup drops soon 💫 At our link, UnisonFest.com 🫶

We are thrilled to welcome this legend and pioneer of psychedelic dance music to our Main Stage! Liquid Bloom will be bringing the medicine while flexing the subs 🌿🔊🥰 As co-founder of Desert Dwellers, this man knows about moving a crowd and raising the frequency of a festival ✨

is the visionary world-electronic project of , co-founder of and curator of the label. Emerging in the late 1990s from explorations in music for healing modalities, Liquid
Bloom has since evolved into a globally celebrated fusion of world instrumentation, transcendent vocals, and modern electronic production. Liquid Bloom has collaborated with numerous artists and has appeared on festival stages around the world including
Boom, Ozora, Envision, Rainbow Serpent, Unison, Dreamersland, and Colours of Ostrava.

Beyond the music itself, Liquid Bloom has become a vessel for conscious culture and transformational work. The project has woven sound around spoken-word teachings by visionaries such as Paul Stamets, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Ram Dass, helping carry wisdom traditions into modern contexts through music. Through the Desert Trax label, co-founded by Amani Friend, a global community of artists has emerged, expanding the reach of this music and its messages into festivals, healing spaces, and conscious gatherings worldwide.

You will also be able to experience Liquid Bloom’s ambient soundscapes in the Xanadu Sonic Oasis 🌀

🥀 We are honored to welcome this international artist who brings a raw authenticity to her hauntingly beautiful musings. Nessi Gomes’ music doesn’t try to lift you above life. It walks you straight into it. She writes with a quiet intensity, where beauty sits beside fear, where longing doesn’t ask to be solved, and where the darker corners are given air, not shame 🌒🌻🌘

Making waves in Europe and beyond, we are lucky to welcome and witness this special talent. The songs of lean into the dark, not for drama but for honesty. The grief, the doubt, the ache of trying to belong in your own life. She follows feeling where it goes, not where it’s supposed to go. And in doing so, she finds light that hasn’t been polished, only earned.

Offstage, Nessi has spent the last decade working with the voice as a place to meet emotion and truth, influenced by her background in Creative Expressive Therapies and voice-based therapeutic work. It’s not performance training. It’s more like tending to the parts that don’t speak in sentences. Over the years, thousands have joined her workshops and retreats, not
in search of perfection, but presence.

✨ Nessi will be sharing her rawthentic musical magic on the Main Stage, Sunday ✨

⚡️ Super Early Bird tickets are available at our link, UnisonFest.com, until the full lineup drops in early June! 💫

The Sky Daddy himself is coming back to Unison! Since we first featured in 2021, this artist has experienced rediculous growth, joining the label, performing at to a full house, and rocking the stage with heavyweights such as , , and 🙌🔥🥵 We are super happy for this brother to be taking the F off!! 🚀❤️‍🔥

And yet… he still makes no money and has no friends 🥺 So… we are adopting him. We are proud to be featuring him in our starving producer petting zoo where you can offer him spare change and old snacks from the bottom of your backpack … he will love you for it 🥹🐶🫶🤭 just please give him a follow on sc 👍🏻☁️ ok ok jk! 🤣🤣 We’re gonna let him roam off leash for this one!

Skysia actually means “silly sacred sexy” in Aramaic. Ah jeesh that’s the silly talking! 😜

In all actuality the name “Skysia,” derived from “sky” and “sea,” reflects the duality of his music: both soothing and intense. Dark and Light. This balance is the cornerstone of his style, fusing melodic downtempo with experimental bass, inviting listeners to connect with all aspects of themselves ☯️

p.s. Skysia quit film school when he realized he could make 20 second reels featuring his cinematic productions instead. He now happily feeds on dopamine and Yerba Maté 🧉 📱🎭

p.s.s. This guy is gonna bring us closer to God on Friday night of the festival 🔊🥰 If you haven’t already, we highly recommend getting on the ball and securing your Super Early Bird ticket(s) while saving some bucks at our linky link 🫶🔗✨

Who knows how to have a good time!?!… mos definitely that would be The Polish Ambassador ‼️🥳🎶🔥🥰✨ This man is an OG in the independent electronic scene, cranking out dance floor hits and steadily growing in popularity throughout the festival circuit… why? bc his live sets are always EPIC 🔊🌈🫠

Let’s see what has to say about 💛

Thank you to our Sanctuary Space Lead ._.becoming for sharing this! In her words:

There’s something about Unison…

It’s not just a festival. It’s a mirror.

This morning Phoenix was talking about how someone taught him how to skip rocks…
how he loves it because he gets to dance, camp, and swim. And I just sat there thinking…yeaaaaaa….that right there is the MEDICINE.

Not the stages. Not the lights. Not even the music. (Although that’s always epic!!) It’s the way people show up for each other.

Unison isn’t about escaping…
it’s about seeing… Seeing yourself, seeing each other… and truly seeing what’s underneath it all.

And that requires something from us….Presence, Integrity, Accountability, and Care.

And watching my son move through that space…free, safe, learning from the people around him…that’s how I know this matters.

Not because it’s perfect….But because people keep choosing to show up…for themselves and for each other.

That’s Unison.

Can’t wait to be sitting back around the sacred fire 🔥
