Favorite Quote: "My experience – our experience – could be your experience. My experience – our experience – could reframe your experience. My experience – our experience – could politicize your experience and could motivate, mobilize you, and us, to action."
– Stacey Holman Jones and Tony E. Adams, "Autoethnography" 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: 
Remember your roots - dance floors have always been sites of political change, and we are the next generation! Rave spaces are not inherently radical. While we've made so much progress in breaking down the homogenous wall of cis white dudes in electronic music, the work never stops. As creatives, we each have a duty to balance our own practices with creating space for others. We all have something unique to contribute, but we run the risk of replicating hegemonic dynamics if we don't create equity within our communities. A healthy creative ecosystem requires a lush diversity of experiences and practices. Be kind, be conscientious, and have fun... after all, it's a party.

Slowfoam is the all-encompassing sound project of Madelyn Byrd. Their aqueous world is an amalgam of playfulness, discomfort, and sentimentality, alchemizing glitched-out, sparkling ambience, obfuscated pop, electro-acoustics, drone, processed field recordings, off-kilter polyrhythms, downtempo, & fuzzy poetics.
