Vision + Bio
There is a potential that lies within music, to awaken, heal, transform, inspire. Deeply inspired by the rave of decades past, transformational festivals, sound system culture, ecstatic dance, we aspire to co-create/curate spaces that allow one to honor life and death, and to discover layers of the self that unravel through the art of dance. We participate in Narcan Training, harm reduction, and consent training, and have zero tolerance for allowing predators or abusers into our spaces. We are in the process of building a festival installation based around our HSD system and a 20 ft high aerial rig that will have multiple projection mappable stage designs, mappable and UV reactive art installations, aerialists, and flow platforms. This is an ongoing project that will continue to evolve over time.
Mission Statement
“Curating the space, sound, and vibration where music transcends”
Our HSD "Hennessey" Sound System
We currently have 4 BattleAxe Subwoofers, with 2 Cannons(mid bass), and 2 MantArray horned tops. Our Rig is capable of delivery world class high fidelity audio to about 1000 people.
We collaborate with other Hennessey teams to
deliver any size rig needed, and we go anywhere.
We Love Bass Music
So we deliver with Hennessey Sound.

is the younger brother of Ron Nicol, founder of Vibrate Awake LLC. Danny is the inspiration for this movement, he was a true lover of bass music, and of all good music in general, and I can honestly say he taught me how to listen to, and how to appreciate, music. Thank you for teaching me how to love, to be present, and to enjoy life.
Hold your loved ones, especially your siblings, close.
