The Great Beyond

We continue our efforts to curate line ups of the very best in psychedelic house and techno music. This year’s MAIN STAGE line up features contemporary techno heroes, genre-defining legends, and counterculture icons.

The Meta ta Physika stage (formerly Communion) features exciting new American producers such as Müzmin, Sanna Mun, and Sard. Meta ta Physika also acts as a space to unite DJs, producers, and promoters from around North America. Each year, we pick a few people from buzzing local scenes to help promote their city.

Flava Coffee & Cafe

We build community through coffee and create opportunities for young women of color and gender-expansive youth by propelling them from coffee to career.
Flava Café is more than just a coffee shop—it's a space where dreams are nurtured and futures are built. Since our inception, we've been dedicated to empowering young women of color and gender-expansive youth, providing them with the skills, confidence, and community support they need to thrive.

Minneapolis Sound Museum

Our mission is to be the first museum in Minneapolis to share the story of the people and the culture that came to be known as the Minneapolis Sound.
The Story of the Minneapolis Sound
Prince Rogers Nelson was born and raised in North Minneapolis, MN. He was the product of a tight knit, culturally rich, creative, and extremely talented Black community that due to segregation and red lining within the City of Minneapolis had to develop a fierce competitiveness to even be heard.

Roadrunner Records

Roadrunner Records was born in 1986 at 4302 “A” Nicollet Avenue, fathered by original owner Todd Adams, who had just moved to the Cities after selling his Madison store, Mad City. Sometime in the early 1990s, the store moved over to 4304 Nicollet and expanded quickly into the growing format of CD by expanding into 4302 “B” Nicollet. During this time we had many in-store performances by local and national bands, including The Mekons, The Go, Bonnie Prince Billy, Eric Anderson, Michael Hurley and Michael Yonkers, to name a few.
