Previously hosted exclusively at the hallowed Ming Lounge, a century-old Chinese restaurant in Portland, Osmosis has found a second home amidst the tranquil beauty of the trees. With a penchant for bringing hi-fi soundscapes to DIY spaces, the Osmosis team has been hard at work curating a weekend of audio/visual immersion.
Join us Thursday, October 24th through Sunday, October 27th for three nights of music and magic.

Stay tuned over @osmosis.world as we continue to announce artists.
2Lanes
2lanes is a unifying sonic energy force breathing a vibrant perspective into life, love, and happiness through music. His artistic practice is one of mutualism, & creation - a constantly evolving process inspired equally by the time dilating studio wizardry of dub, the transcendent bliss of live performance, and the magic he experiences through his friends & day to day existence in the world.
Through releases on Ceramic Records, his own AUTO SHOP imprint, the modern classic “Baby’s Born to Fish” on Portage Garage Sounds, and his involvement in the Detroit-based party "Formula" 2lanes’s work is beloved by listeners & dancers worldwide - never confined to any one sound or style, instead interconnected through layers of spirited kineticism, surrealist world building, and a delightfully rebellious spirit pulsating through it’s core.
2lanes is imbued with the revolutionary tenacity present in every element of Detroit’s musical universe - through collaboration with like minded artists worldwide, building on his family’s musical history in the city, throwing Midwest-centric events to inspire cooperation & connectivity, he’s become part of a fresh generation of North American artists expanding on the mechanized innovations of midwest electronic music, always helping to share forms of respect, understanding, & knowledge to propel the present & future ever forward.
aka-Sol

Through their Acacia Baila label, and “Dripping” event series they’re also a connector, releasing music and mixes from a broad global community of collaborators and close friends as well as curating ecstatic events drawing lines between experimental performances and club music. As a DJ, their sets are genre-defying and psychedelic, with a big focus on storytelling and charged with amped doses of expansiveness and nostalgia; capturing with it the essence of a “true-raver”.
Amelia Holt
Amelia Holt, is one of Brooklyn’s most distinctive, interesting selectors.
With a unique approach to rhythm, Holt crafts DJ sets which fuse percussive rhythms with electronic beats, transforming any dancefloor into a culture-bending, otherworldly experience.
One may hear her play broken beats, deep high octane, fine and elegant dance, alt techno, sharp electro, and delusional krautrock – sometimes all in the same night.
Amelia holds a residency at The Lot Radio and has played in the best of NYC’s venues including Good Room, Nowadays & Bossa Nova Civic Club & festivals, Sustain-Release & Dripping.
Outside the US, she’s brought her sound to Mexico City, Berlin, Munich, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Madrid and many more. In addition to her radio endeavors, Amelia curates the music newsletter In Your Dirty Ears and runs the party series Honey Trap.
Carré
Carré is a producer, DJ, label head, and co-founder of Fast At Work, the future-minded underground party series and newly minted label, based in Los Angeles. Following an electric debut with her two-track EP 'Tilted/Fainting', which was released on Darwin's Berlin-based label SPE:C and named by Mixmag as one of the Best EPs of 2023, Carré is starting 2024 with a new record and an exciting announcement. 'Soft Fascination’ is a three-sided exploration of modern low-end tendencies and broken beat percussion, that marks the launch of Fast At Work's own imprint. Carré is one of the forces behind Fast At Work, touted as "one of LA's best warehouse parties" by Resident Advisor, and also where she became established as a DJ known for her subversive sets focusing on dubstep, leftfield techno and low-end heavy sounds. Recently making her Berlin, Paris, and London debut Carré has played in support of artists like Special Request, Objekt, Darwin, TSVI, Roza Terenzi, DJ Python and more.

EMA
EMA is a key torchbearer for a new generation of global bassniks, embodying community rave values through a love of low end frequencies from her home of Dublin.
Her work as a DJ, founder of label/party Woozy, booker for Dublin nightclub Yamamori Tengu, Rinse FM resident and co-founder of the Skin&Blister collective is exhaustive, highlighting a relentless work ethic that has inspired a foundational infrastructure for her and those in her orbit to prosper.
Operating as a conduit to the on-going mutations of low-end futurism, EMA’s selections warp rhythmic advances around a respected tradition in sub weight. Rigorously informed by the foundational lineage of dub-inspired club music, she encompasses not only the sounds but also the unity mentality of her influences. Her application of this ethos to mix crafting is sensational, pairing evocative wub narratives with a penchant for screw-face bass anthems. It's an undeniable gift, evident in EMA’s monthly residency on Rinse FM, celebrated mixes for Crack Magazine, Ransom Note and Melbourne Deepcast, notable appearances at Fabric London, Corsica Studios, Printworks, NYC’s Public Records and the Arcadia Stage at All Together Now festival, multiple broadcast for Boiler Room and The Lot Radio and the co-hosting Keep Hush’s inaugural Irish stream with Woozy.
Founded in 2020, Woozy is EMA’s label and party series celebrating the sounds and DJs of modern soundsystem culture. 5 releases deep, including three various artist compilations plus solo EPs from Coe and Sha Ru, and many parties hosted has seen her form a remarkable community around the values she wears so proudly on her sleeve.
EMA is also the co-founder of Dublin based collective Skin&Blister, a platform curated to nurture and encourage female, trans and non-binary creatives in the realm of music and the arts through running events, workshops, founding Ireland’s first creative database.
enereph
enereph is a project of artist Connie Fu. In her productions and live sets she channels mutable emotional states into sonic stories, drawing inspiration from expansive ambience and interweaving polyrhythms. She is part of the Acceleration Radio collective based in Vancouver, BC.

Guthrie
Guthrie is a Portland-based DJ and an avid music collector. He got his start on the radio at WKNC 88.1 FM as an underground rock & folk music DJ, librarian, and afterhours program director. Since 2021, he has been organizing raves and DJing with PDX's Group Sound collective, known for their thematic parties and communal aesthetic.
He strives to share outside the box selections and take risks behind the decks. Recently he’s been digging deep house, off-kilter tribal rhythms, minimal wave, whimsical footwork, and the nebulous territory between techno/bass/breaks.
laylow
A veteran dj who made his bones in rave and art circles, laylow combines his uncompromising taste and meticulous ear to create uplifting and soulful dancefloor experiences.
laylow is a stylish digger at his core—the countless hours he spends honing his craft and collection yield dizzying and transformative sets that harmonize the contrasting tempos and moods of soul, funk, disco, house, and techno. By carefully calibrating voltage and frequency, laylow’s sonic labors of love keep bodies moving and grooving.
Nolid
Nolid is a Filipino American DJ, graphic designer, organizer, and member of nonbinary, queer, trans, and POC-centered collective UwU. Where they work to create welcoming, safe, inclusive, and healing experiences. Nolid’s intention as a DJ is to bring community closer and create healing moments with sounds that are familiar, yet warped.
Slippi
Slippi is a Portland based dj and artist with a penchant for the mutated and mind-bending side of the sonic spectrum. Originally from New York, slippi was a mainstay in the NYC music scene for many years before making the journey to the PNW.
Honing her dj chops at Brooklyn’s Bossa Nova Civic Club, she went on to host monthly genre-fluid dance party Vitamins as well as making regular appearances at events across town and on The Lot Radio.
Inspired by both the energy of the city and the lush biomes of the PNW, her sets traverse rolling rhythmic textures and ethereal soundscapes, exploring the relationships between mind, body, soul, and atmosphere.
Suade
suade started DJing in Hong Kong around a decade ago, where she spent years throwing renegades in the city’s urban jungles. Now back on the West Coast where she grew up, she is a fixture of the San Francisco scene as a DJ, producer, and resident with the collective Club Moniker.
suade is a selector propelled by a shapeshifting sonic tapestry; she focuses on mood and storytelling over genre. Her approach is characterized by blends that deftly jump between rolling percussion, psychedelic textures, bassbin rattlers, and euphoric grooves—all united by an undercurrent of dancefloor sensibilities. Mixes include features on Truants, Darker than Wax, Daisychain, and more.
She is an organizer and label head of Club Moniker, a Bay Area collective pushing forward-thinking club music. Bookings include parties with the likes of Carré, Anunaku, and Deep Creep.
In the less dance-focused musical realm, suade hosts Fluency, a radio show on HydeFM amplifying a wide range of contemporary music from Asia and the Asian diaspora.

Warm clothes, extra socks, shoes & rain gear - daytime temperatures in Takilma in early autumn are usually quite warm, but the nights can get chilly.
Refillable water bottle - Free drinking water will be readily available throughout the site.
Flashlight or Headlamp - There will be ambient lighting throughout the grounds, but much of the site will be dark at night and you’ll walk through the woods a lot.

A bad attitude - Discriminatory behavior, cruel or abusive language, aggression towards others, burdensome entitlement, and leering will get you kicked out and banned from future events.
No pets, children, or people without tickets. Seriously, NO DOGS, there are farm dogs on the property that don’t take kindly to unfamiliar animals.

What if it rains?
It’s the end of the summer season, so come prepared. This year we have added Club Membrane as an indoor stage, but otherwise the other 3 stages are outside. If the weather is looking really bad, then we will make an effort to have covered areas as much as possible to keep everyone comfy.
Historically there is a very small percentage chance of rain in Takilma for this particular weekend.
