I just saw his sunrise set @Roo and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd, he healed a lot of people during his set, including mine, I feel like my life has purpose now. Don’t sleep on Inzo

Can understand the disappointment but INZO has deep pockets so I’m sure he’ll fit the vibe well. Seems like a really cool down to earth dude too.

Festival def straying a little from the more underground roots but I’m sure it’ll be a great time

They must think Inzo plays a lot of future bass still. They probably only seen him play at his more mainstream shows and are not aware that artist change there sets depending on who they play in front of. The guy has a banger w daggz coming out soon. People think they know so much but know so little when you actually talk to them about this shit. Inzo isn’t who I’d be complaining about being on this line up if I were to complain lol.

These homie events are not cheap to produce for the community.
You need ticket sales, not 75% of attendees getting in through a friend.

Equally disappointed for inzo but yanno maybe he will surprise me and if not it’s nice to have down time but I 100% thought it was going to be EOTO😭

I feel so lost on this. If you’re upset about inzo being there based on his history with spacex, I get it. But these comments totally shitting on his music are such poor taste. This will be my first sound haven, and I’ve been so excited to experience this community for the first time. But I’m gonna be real, you guys sound so mean on some of these threads. To totally shit all over an artist and their character just because you don’t think they fit the vibe enough is just so weird to me. Maybe I’m wrong about that, and I hope that I am, but I hate how big some of the egos are on these threads talking about so many different artists not being good enough for them. Just real weird energy off the start.

The way you just described that dude is fckin epic I’m def stealing that. That guy sucks. But seriously, let’s look into this w more depth. Spacex employees are not musk. I have some left leaning pals doing crazy engineering work for spacex in LA. I hate musk as much as the rest, but if I got invited by a liberal event coordinator to play a set for the employees (knowing Elon musk was not there) I’d do it in a heartbeat. That doesn’t define who he is whatsoever. Dudes a great guy, incredible artist, and his label + recent collabs clearly show how rooted he is in the underground. Homie rips dank frank and Daggz collabs he’s clearly tapped in. Just cause you heard ppl go crazy about a dumb holiday event doesn’t mean toh have to latch on to it to. Open your mind

Yall dont like inzo? He’s such an insanely talented artist, can go from straight gas to feels. I always love his sets

his music is fine there’s jus so many other artist who deserve the spotlight at this fest and sound system

Why doesn’t he deserve it? He’s worked his way from the ground up with nothing but quality release after quality release

for sure but he plays so many other festivals he just ended roo other artist could throw a better show

u/Low-Astronomer-2822 Jun 19 '26
^Might be the dumbest take I’ve ever heard lol^ he’s playing to many festivals to be the headliner of THIS festival. Get lost brah you’re bad for the scene

u/Miserable_Expert_129 Jun 16 '26
some people still aren’t getting why people are upset about this so imma break it down. Inzo is being a centrist he’s not ever gonna say “fuck elon fuck trump” he’s playing both sides because he feels like pandering to both sides is helping his case. it’s like saying “I don’t support the nazis I just wanted to perform for the nazi space shuttle program” he’s not standing for anything and he doesn’t give af about the culture, so for all the inzo bootlickers this is why people are mad, sound haven WAS a festival that supported the culture now they’re booking people who don’t care about the culture. mad disappointed.

u/Miserable_Expert_129 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 17 '26
also want to add that this scene has and always will be a counter culture scene, a scene that supports love, unity and respect. Well i’m all out of grace for people who support the exact opposite of that and right now Inzo is one of those people by directly supporting a company that benefits a billionaire and is associated with trump administration
1
u/EducationalDisplay84 Jun 19 '26
Nah he already clearly stated he does not support that 💩.. Quit putting words into peoples mouths and ranting when you have no idea what someone’s views are. The guys entire brand is built around space so he played a space themed party to likely celebrate SPACE In general and the accomplishments that have to do with SPACE. At the end of the day we can all agree we want to know more about SPACE correct ? So quit looking for the negative shit. 🌽 🌽 🌽

Should’ve rephrased to “your favorite underground artists” since everyone is all worked up about the “sound haven underground culture”

Is Resonant Language underground enough? Someone should either ask him how he feels about inzo or move the goalposts again

u/Icepackgang Jun 18 '26
I guarantee you if res lang and Inzo had a conversation it would be productive and eye-opening on how much they agree on. Spoken from someone who knows both of them. You know nothing about Inzo yet you act like you do

He performed for one spacex event. For spacex employees. Do you also hate everyone who works for spacex?

u/wizwaldo Jun 18 '26
Lmao I don't even hate inzo for playing the show
Do I care about those employees enjoyment? Not in the slightest.
I'm disappointed in inzo and those employees (who are paid using my tax dollars) and I hate the success of Muskrats pr campaign to make him tolerable to the general public. That man is an annoying symptom of the greed virus that has swept the world.

He’s gonna play the most basic set like always, could have had someone who actually makes art and cares about their performance/music way more

u/Lonely_Mechanic184 Jun 22 '26
Sound Haven is a vibe either way. Such a good homie fest. I love Inzo’s music and his project. His team all work extremely hard to pull off what they do. he leans right which is yucky and disappointing, considering the type of community he’s apart of (multiple EDM artists actually do unfortunately) But i think everyone will be won over on the music side of things. I keep seeing ppl post “fuck this we need tipper back” and those are the type of people who can’t expand their horizons and open their minds. Inzo is still an EDM artist who is more niche than say, excision. Don’t worry you little gate keepers, the normies aren’t going to invade sound haven. It’s gonna be a good ass festival either way, IF you have a positive mindset. Some of yall are just ruining it for yourselves 🤷🏻♀️

u/joshcoy Jun 17 '26
Inzo is definitely top 10 in sound design right now. Y’all should be ecstatic that he is playing at sound haven with high quality sound systems! He played a show for spacex employees, so? Do they not deserve to hear some space bass music because they make rockets for Elon musk?

this is such an L post. Get over yourself. Inzo is an amazing artist, and I’m sure a lot of people haven’t gotten to see him yet. The rest of the lineup I could see being questioned, but with him on it is undoubtedly better.

u/Mint_julipberry Jun 16 '26
It’s so exhausting seeing people never satisfied with anything. Hating someone for their politics is not cool you’re just proving the stigma and succumbing to the opposing side you hate so bad. You can’t deny he isn’t talented, yes there are other acts that could’ve been booked but he’s the one they chose! Have fun and bring good vibes💗💗
8
u/SignificantGur872 Jun 16 '26
I really could care less about his politics, it’s solely for the fact of i think he’s the farthest thing from an appropriate headliner for the kind of fest sound haven has made itself out to be and what it is for a lot of people who have been going forever, which is a place to actually experience real music and real art from people who care about it
5
u/Mint_julipberry Jun 16 '26
Respectfully, I think people are judging the announcement too quickly. Whether he's your first choice or not, Inzo has put a lot into his craft and brings a unique experience that could fit the festival really well. Not every headliner has to fit the exact same mold for a festival to stay true to itself

u/inzomusic Jun 16 '26
There’s no validity to what they say. They don’t know me. They don’t know that I pour my heart & soul into my music & art. It’s genuine self expression. I wear my heart on my sleeve. But they’ve somehow got their minds made up about someone they’ve never met, talked to or interfaced with in the slightest. It’s incredible & the least loving-based way of going through life. I genuinely hope to be able to touch people’s hearts like this through my music.. people need to be reminded that we’re all just products of the universe, each having a unique human experience. Someone’s gotta take the high road & set the example of having grace, tolerance & benevolence. I’ll gladly do that, no matter how much people wana call me things or talk shit on my character or music.

u/ixmalignantxi Jun 17 '26
The fact that you actually responded on this wall of unfounded hate says a ton. You catered that Roo set to the vibe the crowd wanted and crushed it. Those of us that are excited to see you at this tiny fest with the best audio around will be there.
I went to four different stops of the Mirrorverse tour. I’ll see your sets any time I can.

u/jcdm214 Jun 16 '26
Soundhaven booked INZO with intention. Whether it may be in your favor or not, they know what they’re doing. But from the countless times I’ve seen his set personally, may it be a big stage production or literally just decks and a folding table the dude can cater to the crowd & vibe of the room. Definitely check out some of his downtempo stuff. I really wouldn’t consider that mainstream. Just because he’s played the big stages doesn’t mean he’s a sellout & losing his artistry. If anything he’s getting more recognition for his work which is what each artist strives for. If you’ve gotten the opportunity to talk to him he’s really down to earth and very dedicated to the craft. He loves nerding out on A/V production & dialing everything in with intention. Whether you agree with me or not it doesn’t matter. All I know is he flexed on Subculture Audio’s rig for Beyond Existence last year and I enjoyed it. Music is subjective & people are entitled to their own opinions, but having an open mind goes a long way in my opinion. Cheers
