the set up before the night went CRAZY!
Ambient Alchemists never seems to upset me with how amazing their shows turn out to be. Its always a great night and tons of wonderful people. So many new faces and friends that we got to work with. Pleasure to meet and see you are as always. This show was Ambient Alchemists largest production to date, literally and figuratively. They welcomed ‘The Widdler’ back to Pittsburgh for his Zero G album tour to celebrate the release of the Zero G album. This was his first ever album release coinciding with an album tour, and we all got to be apart of it!
We are so proud to have played a role in this special debut showcase. The Alchemists killed it with sounds that complimented The Widdler with the supporting artists, Yoko, Sqonk, and ikhanhik. Additionally, Astrelle delighted the audience with an enchanting performance during the final 30 minutes. The venue buzzed with energy decorated by talented live painters and unique vendors selling their clothing & crafts. Bright lasers danced through the air paired with the powerful sound of Danley speakers, creating a vibrant atmosphere that kept everyone on their feet. This event was meant to be exceptional and with the remarkable individuals listed below, they successfully achieved that vision.
It got so spicy in there, that the fire alarm started going off during the Widdlers performance!

Our booth for the night at Remedy.
This was our first time ever being here and honestly it was a very unique looking space. Even though we had a smaller set up than usually we made a killing AND it was on a Wednesday. Alexa put together a wonderful show and we were very happy to be apart of it.
She hosts a party once a month and she asked to have us back for the December show! We can’t wait to be back again. We got to meet a bunch of new friends which was really exciting. We hope to get all the requests that was talked about throughout the night. Such wonderful compliments through and through!

Our booth for the night
Although upstairs didn’t really see any love all night, downstairs was popping after midnight. There was a bunch of parties happening in Pittsburgh the same night so this was expected to happen. However, this doesn’t mean anything for us because we still pulled through and met our quota and then some! Its always a pleasure working with Bassburgh and they are extremely helpful.
The new owners of Cativo which is now called SideQuest are really getting this place in order. They switched over to all LED lighting and I hear they are even getting a food menu! Boy we can’t WAIT for that to happen.

Our booth for the day
What a WINDY experience!
Setting up was NO easy task, but by the time it was time to get the ball rolling we were up and ready to go! A wonderful turn out to say the least. We got to hand out special treat bags to all the kids that came by the tent and got to see all their cute costumes. TRICK or TREAT! Even though we wasn’t here for long, we got to make a bunch of new friends who have hit us up for requests!! Perfect time for requesting the perfect gifts for your friends or loved ones. Just a simple message away.
We chose not to decorate to much not only because it was windy but because we had booked another place to vend after this one. Break down was easy and smooth.
ATTENTION EVERYONE!
WE NOW HAVE CANDLES FOR SALE.

About Artist
Chee
After several years of lateral experimentation in sound design, South African producer CHEE erupted into the international bass scene following a handful of successful self-releases and releases through the Dutch label, UNDERSLUNG.
Once the music began circulating, his sonic innovation and advanced production skills quickly gained the attention of many prime figures in the industry, gaining him support from Noisia, Amon Tobin, DJ Craze, Mat Zo, Culprate, G Jones, and more.
Ambient Alchemists absolutely blew us away with this show. To date, this is the best show sale wise and we couldn't be more happier. All the new faces we got meet were just so sweet and remarkable. Everyone had such kind things to say and we appreciate you all so much.
The staff at the Squirrel Hill Sports Bar were all so friendly and helpful throughout the night. The DJs all sounded amazing with visuals that were out of this world. Beautifully put together through and through.
The space that we had provided was not nearly big enough to show off everything at this location but think we got it down pat to where its a little bit of everything for everyone!
All set up and stocked before all hell broke loose.
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
The first couple on the left both purchased sunglasses from us and she also got a bucket hat. While the couple on the right both purchased bucket hats from us!

Shoutout to Slayd Productions for an outstanding show! This was our first time vending at the Enclave on E. Carson Street, and honestly it was pretty amazing. Even though we couldnt see the show, we definitely could hear it and thats all that really matters in the end! We was set up conviently by the bathrooms so people had something to gander at while they waited in line.
The staff was very friendly and the floor security seemed to be pretty available for all those who needed. We met some pretty cool vendors and got a few new faces that stopped by our booth. As well as our friends who just can’t seem to get enough. We love and appreciate all of you.
A smaller version of our normal set up but hey we still get the job done! We hope to be back for more Slayd Production shows in the future. Its always a pleasure.
Tarentum Fall Festival
September 26-28, 2024
What a weekend to remember!
Our first all ages event, was an absolute killing every single night. It was also our first time being able to set up our entire shop at once! It was amazing to see how far we have come over the last year with all the creations we have made and all the friends we have encountered along the way.
Each of the three days brought a different crowd which is exactly what we needed. Each day we sold a variety of different things and even received a few custom orders that have actually been made and fulfilled already!
Customs are also available with just a simple message via Facebook or Instagram!
Night time vibes with our full light set up
Shoutout to the Tarentum Fire Department for hosting this event and allowing us to be apart of this community. We hope to be joining the festival next year as well. Thank you to all those who purchased something, tipped, or stopped by to say hi! We love seeing all your faces and as always we hope to see you all again!

Squirrel Hill Sports Bar was nothing less of a great time for us. The music, visuals and sound were amazing and beautiful to say the least. The venue itself was the first time we have every been there and even though we couldn’t bring everything, it was definitely still worthwhile for us. The entire staff that we came in contact with was very polite and helpful.
The small set up was super fun, easy and fast. We had a little bit of everything newer that we started making such as finger phone stands, fidget spinners, croc charms, chokers, earrings, horns, spoons, dabbers, roach clips, and sunglasses!
Seeing a bunch of new faces always makes me happy, but seeing the old faces come back for more makes my heart warm. We appreciate all the kind words and support. If anyone has any requests for anything that we make, anything is customizable.

Lastly, We just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity to be a vendor for another Bassburgh Promotions show. Its always a pleasure working with Chris Stankey and the crew! Keep us in mind in the future. We would love to return!
Behind the Scene! Part 2
The Perfect Birthday Gift:
Custom unicorn lamp made specially for someone special
Finished custom unicorn lamp attached to the base
Without naming names to hide identity. A man came to us towards the end of a show a couple months ago and told us that his significant other would just love our style of work and started asking questions about if I had anything unicorn.
I started explaining about the possibilities of what I could make and he just said he wanted something that she could keep forever. My mind started soaring through all the possible things when I decided to come up with this. After he explained some of her interests, colors, vibes, and styles. We collectively decided, this would be the perfect gift.
Unicorn Head made out of epoxy resin with added acrylic paint for design purposes. Dried moss added onto the base with some real animal bones collected from various conventions.
Bones: Minx Vertebrae, Raccoon Foot Bones, & Badger Toe Bones
Thank you for trusting me with making the perfect gift.
Unicorn lamp plugged in before the final animal bones were added.
Red Flower Coffin Custom:
A lovely lady gave me the opportunity to turn her dream into reality.
Big thank you to the very patient and generous gal who gave me the chance to make her the perfect box. All she did was send me over a message with exactly what she was looking for and I came up with this and she had no doubts that she wanted it.
Seeing all our customers happy with art that we make just brings me joy and thats why we continue to do this.
Thanks for all the support from you guys. It means a lot.

Cattivo is a CASH ONLY venue. There is an ATM but please prepare ahead of time and bring cash!!
Each time we set up somewhere, the set up just gets bigger and bigger with more things to search and sift through. Kinda reminds me of Goodwill. You never know what you are going to find, but you somehow always end up finding that right special weird thing for you.
We have plenty of variety of things for everyone to have something that suits them. This past Friday was a great example of that. So many different characters that came up to us and found the most perfect things. Whether it was for themselves, a loved one, or a friend. Every sale is much appreciated and I can’t thank you all enough for all the love and support that you continue to show us.
Yet another crazy night at Cattivo, the staff is nothing short of helpful when it comes to having to set up for events here. We have two eight foot tables that get set up and requires a little square of space. Moving the pool tables are a big part of set up and we are very thankful for the staff helping us everytime.
Debut of our new inventory: Finger phone stands & Spinners
Working with Bassburgh Promotions for the first time, I can say was definitely a blast! All questions and comments were answered right away leading up to the show which is always a huge help. Promoting each other was definitely a huge help towards the outcome of the show for both parties, leading to a success for all. It was a pleasure to work with you all and we would be happy to do so again next time!
Superstar shoppers of the night never failed to keep bringing back more and more people because they got complimented on their purchases. From the earrings, to the choker, to the sunglasses, they are SLAYIN’. Thanks girls for all the business and hope to see you next time!

The DJ’s had the place bumpin’ through the night, we just couldn’t help but to dance in our booth all night. The audio and visuals were spectacular and overall just an amazing show. Shoutout to everyone who played their part because it was an absolute amazing night.
Shoutout to the muscles behind the operation, Eric Turner. I don’t know what I would do without all the help you do. Don’t ever forget it!
If you liked what you have seen and enjoy what we do, be sure to reach out to us so we can come to the next event near you!

Originally starting life as a trio, North London outfit Ivy Lab were brought together out of a shared enthusiasm for experimentations on the fringes of the UK bass music scene. The years that followed saw them go from strength to strength, earning a place in ‘The top 10 DJ’s of 2015’ (Mixmag) and propagating a new generation of hip-hop inspired abstractions housed within the framework of their ’20/20 LDN’ project.
The duo now find themselves at the apex of the ‘Halftime’ / ‘Future Beats’ / movement – A motley assortment of actors from across the bass music landscape applying their sonic-heritage to experiments with hip-hop and drum machine electronica.
Ivy Lab invested further in the exploration of this sound with the creation of their ‘20/20 LDN’ clubnight. Housed primarily at Brixton’s Phonox nightclub, it earned the characterisation of “ultra innovative” (Timeout Magazine) and a “London standout” (Mixmag).
Our set up before the activities started
April 19th, What a night to remember. Back to back weekends of us vending and we managed to still have tons of new stuff for you guys. The sunglasses yet again went crazy! This was our first time vending at the Thunderbird and it was definitely one of our favorites so far. The staff was so sweet and kind and was able to help us find the perfect spot to set up.
just a short quick close up video of the table before everyone started showing up.
Shoutout to a few of our customers for letting us show off the goods! You guys are amazing and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you all. So once again thank you!
(If you bought anything and you have some good pictures with them, pls send them via fb messenger and I can definitely post them too!)
Ivy Labs getting DOWN!
Right to our left was the stage, and every performance was absolutely mind blowing from the DJ’s to visuals to even the live painters that were there! The kitchen prepared excellent food for us before the show starts. As well as shoutout to Michael Essay to having us for his event. A very well organized individual to work for and we would be more than happy to work for again! Very great hospitality and very humble. Thank you again.

The set up
April 12th was an absolute killer night. We had our sunglasses debut and it absolutely took OFF. Selling a whopping 20 sunglasses! We couldn’t be more great full for all the support from all of our customers.
Making art for you guys is more about the business. Its about the customers, seeing all of you look through all the things and try on stuff that we made personally by hand is just a loving experience that brings me joy.
Sunglasses inventory for the show started.
Slayd Productions is just hands down a great company to work for. All the staff that they hire is always so kind, helping us keep our stuff from walking away. Luckily we have had absolutely no theft from this show. Cattivo staff is also very helpful with letting us rearrange there upstairs to even have us fit nicely!
12:30 AM downstairs crowd
Everyone who has come into contact with us has been so nice and friendly and supportive that we just can’t wait to be back for some more!
All the DJ’s did a superb job to say the least. The crowds were going wild on both floors all night for a jam packed busy evening for us.

Vending at Cattivo for our second time, are locaton was upstairs this time. A much better selection we might add seeming in the middle of the dance floor yet a ton of space for us to display our inventory. Working for Slayd Productions has been nothing but successful and fun. A sold out show, Ahee ft. Tynan, was out of this world. The production, staff, ravers, supporters, and security was all absolutely wonderful.
We look foward to working with Slade again.
A raffle was held for a new inventory product coming in, handmade wirewrapped sunglasses. The show was on March 15th, so we made them St. Patties Day themed. Thank you for all the participates who bought tickets and a big congratulations to Kayla Payne for winning the raffle! We hope you enjoy them.
Below is a small gallery of the tables before the show started and let us tell you, there was much less when we left!

Hello everyone!
Welcome to behind the scenes!
Its all fun and games until you become a sticky mess, but even then, we can’t help but to push through and keep pouring. Here is a few photos of our work stations and how chaotic things can be. Time, energy, effort, and of course love is put into everyone of our pieces for YOUR liking.
Resin takes a good bit of hand and wrist strength to stir to perfection. You also have to take your time pouring to not make to many air bubbles or mess up your design. You also might have to do a pour in sections so things don’t float to the top.
