About the Organizers
This low-key, high-vibe weekend of grounding, laughter, and gathering in nature is brought to you by:
Sand and Subs
A San Diego renegade crew throwing off-the-grid parties in the desert, mountains, and beaches—wherever the vibe feels right. No overpriced drinks, no velvet ropes, just raw, unfiltered beats under the stars. We keep it simple: sick sound, wild locations, and a crowd that’s here for the music. Lineups range from deep house to face-melting bass, and we’re big on respecting the land (pack it in, pack it out). If you’re into secret spots, sunrise sets, and music that hits different in the middle of nowhere, you’ll fit right in.
