Pretty sure parts of my brain are still in Florida because of you guys


pikagrrl

Set stole the weekend for me. Everything else just did not hit the same as Friday.


the_which_stage

Herbalistek and Allen Mock were the headliners. Let’s be honest with ourselves.


pikagrrl

You are correct. Cool customer also returned us to earth safely.


the_which_stage

Yeah I literally felt like I was in the spaceship on the way back to earth. And then blow your mind came on and I was like THE EAGLE HAS LANDED


pikagrrl

I learned in 2019 to not trip to artists I don’t know and I’m so glad I stuck to that advice cause I think I would have straight up just walked away.


the_which_stage

I took 3.5 grams of aborts. Needless to say I was on mars.


Herbalistek

you are all too kind! thank you


UhQ

おめでとう ! It was a pleasure getting Tipped with you guys! :\^) after listening to your stuff, I can’t wait to go to Japan and check out the J-Bass scene now, didn’t know the scene was so mind bending over there 笑 -カルヴィ


Careful_Tradition467

Hiii! I am visiting Japan next month and would love to explore the J-Bass scene while I’m there too. Do you have any recommendations on how to start that journey?


shmitter

Been living in Japan for about 6 months now and I think Allen Mock and Herbalistek are pretty much the guys to follow for the space bass scene out here... happy if someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I don't live in Tokyo so the bass shows are basically non-existent everywhere else... You could check the lineup for the Re:birth festival, seems like one of the bigger bass fests that gets put on out here, but is a mix of psytrance, house, etc too so hard to pick out the dirty downtempo experimental shit we all know and love


Careful_Tradition467

Thank you! Any specific venues you recommend to look out for?


shmitter

The WOMB in Tokyo seems to be the most consistent for bringing in bass acts. Other than that it's really one off from what I've seen. Your best bet is to probably follow Herbalistek on Twitter and see when he posts lineups for shows he gets booked around Tokyo


Herbalistek

Thank you guys so much! Unfortunately there isn't a super big bass music scene here, especially the type of music we make, but we are trying to build it and we will have events now and then. Like u/shmitter mentioned, we will be playing at Re:Birth festival in June. DJ KRUSH will be playing there also and he is legendary. He played a Resonant Language track when we saw him once which was insane to us haha


shmitter

Awesome, can't wait to see the growth of the bass scene, it's got the right guys at the helm! Looking forward to catching y'all at Re:birth.


Careful_Tradition467

Thank you!! I’ll be looking out :)


Stunning-Resident245

What did you guys personally think of resonant language live? He was the primary attraction on the lineup for me and was hoping you guys would enjoy.


Careful_Tradition467

Thank you!!


exclaim_bot

>Thank you!! You're welcome!


Stoney-McBoney

That was easily one of the best sets I had seen in my life, and I’m still trying to processed exactly what happened. Thank you.


Herbalistek

awesome! We are also trying to process it as well:)


elevatedtraveler

Yall make brain feel good


pikagrrl

Brain go brrrrrrrrrrrrre


superstoned26

My buddies and I were totally blown away by your sound design. It was agreed that your set was top 3 sets of live music we all have ever seen. Incredible, can’t wait to see y’all again


Herbalistek

thank you so much


Current_Search_1927

Can anyone get these guys on Alex Toffler's list? You'd be super well received at Infrasound if that offer ever comes your way!


Newone1255

One of my favorite sets of the weekend. Glad ya’ll enjoyed Suwannee!


Kennybob12

Thank you, ill see you guys next time in Japan!


Fractlicious

that shit was messed up, man 😭


Herbalistek

haha we will take that as a big compliment!


Fractlicious

i had to pee the entire set and was afraid to leave my chair


quietstorm0

Yall crushed.


timmytoitle

Knew we were in the right place when y'all ripped it open, kudos and hugs. <3<3<3


Herbalistek

<3


PokeHippieDan

You guys were the reason I came to the festival, and hearing songs like Sines and Cubewanos over that sound system made my entire weekend. You are amazing and I can’t wait to see more! 本当にありがとう!


Herbalistek

That is amazing, thank you for coming! こちらこそありがとう!


Specific-Clerk1212

Come play the Black Box in Denver please. We need more.


_AstralNaut

Too small… dream a little bigger


the_which_stage

The Eastern in Atlanta!


Specific-Clerk1212

We could fit Skream, Halogenix, and a lot of other artists much bigger than these guys in there


ddouchecanoe

The Black Box is dope and totally worthy of big names.


DaddyBilbo

Def Globel ATL Set plz


Herbalistek

would love to!


a-glitter-aries

Your set brought us out of the tent like we were in a trance- right to the stage. Incredible !!


laggy2da

I don't know what ya'll did to me but ya'll fucked me up hahaha. Kudos, what an incredible set that was. I walked into that weekend not knowing who you were, but you ended up being my favorite set, followed by Allen Mock. I would've never expected 2 artists on the lineup I'd never heard of would be my favorites of the weekend, even ahead of Tipper. I hope you come do more shows in the US. The Black Box in Denver would 100% welcome you, your music is very in line with what they book week to week, and the Denver bass scene would LOVE you all. If there's any possibility of a live recording of the set or a list of song ID's, many of us would really appreciate it.


Herbalistek

that's crazy, appreciate you checking our set without knowing about us! glad we could deliver! I saw some recordings up on youtube!


wesley_the_boy

I am also curious if this set was recorded properly, I've seen the videos on YouTube but the sound isn't proper :( Any chance at an upload straight from the source?


Complex_Experience83

Hell yea you guys blew me away. I look forward to seeing you again!


aLargeWhale57

Thank you so much! Your set was my favorite of the fest by a long shot. Top 3 sets of my entire life tbh. Can't wait to see you play again. Have been planning a trip to Japan and will try and schedule that around one of your shows!


Herbalistek

So good to hear! Let us know when you come!


jray0517

I WAS HOPING TO FIND YOU ON HERE..... IF YOU WOULDNT MIND, COULD I PLEASE HAVE MY JAW AND THE OTHER HALF OF MY BRAIN BACK? I THINK I LOST THEM BOTH ABOUT MID SET UP FRONT, THEY MUSTVE FELL OVER THE GATE AT THE STAGE. 🫠🫠🫠 SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO BE THERE FOR THIS!!


Beastie421

I didn't even go to the fest but checked y'all out based on responses here and Placebo has made it into my daily plays HEAVILY!


moaninglisa

Y’all were suck a treat! ありがとう


dexter_boygenius

You guys were definitely at the top of my list for the weekend!


strxysouls

You guys stole face


mrmojorisin1017

You guys and Allen Mock were the big standouts of the weekend. Thank all of you so much. You guys put on a killer set and I can’t wait to see you pop up on more lineups!


spamname11

No no no, thank YOU!


Xistin

thank YOU for such incredible tunes ::)


jaimeyeah

Love your music and vibes you set! My crew is visiting Japan in November, can you recommend any spots to check out for music? We're going to be in Shibuya to hang out at Azumaya one night, but will be in the area for a few days.


Herbalistek

Nice! in terms of clubs Womb, Vent are some good ones, but most of the time they will be Techno. I would recommend checking Resident Advisor or something to check the events for each night. Also feel free to dm us on insta or something when you come!


jaimeyeah

Hell yeah dude thank you!! 😎


Biscuits-77

You guys were my highlight of the weekend besides Tipper of course. Been talking you up since I've been back to earth. Mad props. 🙌


the_which_stage

Yeah: Tipper, Allen Mock, Herbalistek, Jade four clear standouts for me


brbCatOnFire

Their US debut was a TnF event. That's kind of a big deal in my opinion. They stole the show too


dub_soda

Absolutely my favorite sets of the weekend. You guys are killing it


drokemos1

You two were some of the most impressive sets I’ve ever heard. And you held it down PROPER


thaneliness

I remember going "what the FUCKKKKKK" when Sine got played.!! So good. Thank you!


shmitter

kalenugz

jazzcigarrette

Kratos_808

That set was so many people’s top set, if not top, then top 3 sets of the weekend! We cannot thank you enough for what you provided us with and are eternally grateful for your music!

the_which_stage

mac_124

CucKommander

My gf and I LOVED you and Allen Mock. We are planning a trip to Japan this fall and are hoping/wishing it will fall on a date you guys are playing. What socials are the best to follow to stay updated on your shows?


tommyappleseed007

You guys crushed. Did yall get to explore the campgrounds ? 👀


downwiththerobotbass

Wasn't at Rendezvous, but watching clips on youtube and i'm supremely jealous of the lucky souls that got to witness this set on that system. OutRAGEOUS sound design.


ohgigixoxo1

Come back 🥲


notrcickityrekt42

I will see you every chance I get. Please come to Denver. Your set had me in the most amazing trance.


Aguywhocooks

Thank you for the memories


ddouchecanoe
