It's SUBJECTIVE VOL007 - DREAD MAIDEN

Drum and bass is so much more to me than just big drops, quick dopamine fixes, and loud noises. Sets can be a profound journey that touches the soul, deepens connections, and fosters personal growth.

This weekend, I had the immense honour of playing at the final RootBound Festival in FNQLD, and it was my heartfelt pleasure to guide people on a journey of intention through the sounds that resonate so deeply with me. Holding space with people through music is so incredibly powerful. It means the world to me to connect through music. 

Thank you to RootBound for inviting me to be part of such a special party. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly to bring this festival to life and to all the amazing souls I encountered over the weekend. RootBound was a beautiful, authentic, and cathartic experience.

With everything that is going on in the world, personally and in general, it was a weekend of pure magic and escapism amongst chaos.
