However, our contribution goes beyond booking headliners. We also prioritize promoting and showcasing local and regional EDM talent, ensuring they have opportunities to perform in direct support positions. As a result of our efforts, we have landed opportunities to host takeovers representing that talent at music festivals including Big Dub, Lil Dub, and Deutschtown Music Festival.

Ambient Alchemists also has a history of hosting live-streams, and virtual festivals with top artists. In 2020, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, they kept the music alive by creating and hosting a weekly live stream called Live Lab for 19 consecutive weeks, featuring artists like Scales, EOS, and Lemondoza.
