This will be a unique dance experience, as half of the set will be Bloomurian's album from start to finish, and the other half will be an ecstatic dance wave with mostly original Bloomurian songs, collaborations and remixes. The album will be released the next day (technically will be streaming by the evening of this dance!)
It's also Bloom's 35th bEarth day on this day (2/2) !!
AND we're setting up a special top quality sound system that just arrived to town from our friend Billie who just moved here from Asheville!

★ Artist = Bloomurian
Bloomurian is the electronic music & DJ project of Robin Liepman (Bloom), originally from California, and currently Colorado based. Bloomurian’s style ranges from Ecstatic Dance, World Bass, Trip-Hop, Glitchy, Psy-Dub, & Trap, to face-melting, heart-opening, soul-awakening multidimensional frequencies.
Bloomurian DJs ecstatic dances, concerts, festivals, and retreats worldwide, weaving original tracks, collaborations, remixes, and tasteful selections, into a rich tapestry of sonic alchemy, always tuning in to the ideal vibe for each particular event and audience. He often plays electric guitar and his shovel slide-guitar during his sets, and has live instrumentalists and vocalists join him on stage.
Bloomurian reads the energy of the moment and steers the spaceship in the direction most conducive to ecstatic states of awakening and embodied movement medicine. The vibe can get down dark and dirty, light vibrant and uplifting, psychedelic, transformational, and worldly, depending on the frequency of the moment.
Bloom recently went on tour for a full month opening for Dirtwire, and has shared the stage, opened, and closed for many notable artists including: Liquid Bloom, Poranguí, Ott., Yaima, ATYYA, SOOHAN, Rising Appalachia, Mike Love, Gone Gone Beyond, Govinda, Balkan Bump, Deya Dova, Treavor Moontribe, Equanimous, Phutureprimitive, Kaya Project, Savej, Erothyme, Skysia, Lapa, FR33SOL, Lavva, Snow Raven, Dillard, Volo, Scott Nice, Ryan Herr, Momentology, Pere (Tribone), Dunks (of The Funk Hunters), Nyrus, Geometrae, DJ Bushman (founder of Envision Festival), Mah Ze Tar, Lavender Fields, Sierra Marin, Matthew Human, and Blossomn.
