Well as you can tell by how long it took us to make this post, INIT 2025 really was indeed quite the festi sidequest vortex that took us a minute to get launched out of!

We are SO thankful for everyone who made the trek up the mountain and joined us in any capacity: from all the ticket holders who spent their hard earned dollars, through to the volunteers who went above and beyond [special shoutouts to Bern, Sana, Rasta Pat, Steffan, both Mitch’, Dawn, Naked Crystel, and so many others], the sound crews: .vic , the lighting the art installations like , & the Harm Reduction crew, our performance coordinator & all the epic performers, all the skilled/hard-working core staff that helped this organism grow in realtime. We won’t forget everyone stepping up for this one and believe the results was one of the most memorable gulf-island festivals to date!

Don’t forget to give us your feedback in the app - we grew rapidly this year and there was plenty of room for improvement; your gracious input can help orient our growth going forward into the future!

LOST & FOUND will be posted shortly!

There is a mountain of media that is going to be making it’s way out soon, help us get everyone tagged!

Once again, thanks to each and everyone of you who joined us and helped make INIT 2025 magic!✨

INIT 2025 // ARTIST PROFILE:

Nina is the latest evolution of Jevon Ives who also goes by DE-TÜ & Tubby Isiah. A seasoned music producer & DJ whose roots run deep in the sound system culture of London and Bristol. Nina steps forward as a no-boundaries solo project focused on delivering high-quality, bass-heavy dance music that captures the energy and grit of the UK underground.

Having only started this project about a year ago, Nina has already released on labels such as 20/20 LDN, YUKU, Innamind Recordings & Faux Poly. His music has shaped dance floors across the globe with its genre-pushing, signature sound. This new chapter is a pure distillation of that journey β€” a sound informed by dub, garage, grime, and soundsystem pressure, but unchained from expectation.
