Almost four years in the making, it’s time to mark our centennial with a three stage Kremwerk takeover at 100% IMPACT running nine hours! We’ve successfully, (to various degrees :P), managed to do 100 shows, and to celebrate we’re taking over all three stages at Kremwerk, where we’re bringing one of the most diverse and unforgettable lineups we’ve ever done to celebrate! Whereas Newcores is about celebrating our year with those who helped make it happen, this celebration is about celebrating all that you and I are, have been, and will be. This will be our biggest event of the year, hands down, and y’all will never forget it, this party of past, present, and future.

Because as Impact! we’ve come such a long way from when we started, all the way back with Newcores Eve. If you look at the flyer, you’ll see a lineup composed of the three genres we were founded on: Hardcore, Breakcore, and Drum ‘n’ Bass. Seattle desperately needed more raves for those genres, and our cofounders, early crew, and friends helped turn that desire into a snowball. But such a diverse crowd had interests beyond these three core genres, and slowly that love started to show through making our org have a bit of a split personality. The backgrounds of our community and new crew brought in sounds and scenes that the original folks weren’t a part of, and we all, as a scene, started branching out into those areas as we realized Impact! could be a vehicle for all that makes us tick. From bringing beanbags and live ambient to the club with Dream Pool, to some of the first furry raves outside a con with Happy Barkcore, to slowing it down and keeping everyone on the floor with Technocore, and dipping our toes into nonprofit work with Howl At The Moon, Impact! started to become a lot more than it was at inception. Through this expansion, we remained at our core a Seattle rave organization, first and foremost representing all the facets of our local scene’s love. What started as growth eventually turned to a landslide as 2025 hit. We hosted a drag show for the first time with Purrlesque, Furswap became a phenomenon of an art market with folks traveling in to support our city’s artists, and we threw a goddamn two day festival for the first time with First Impact! In the wake of these, IDM with deconstructed club, footwork, a show in New York, dub techno, legends performing live, an unrated show, bringing the online to the real world, and baile funk flex the eclecticness of our lives… Oh, and a fucking label to boot. Along the way we’ve become so much more than we ever intended to be at the start, when it was just a few of us and a dream. Today, we’re seeing that dream become manifest. Impact! has grown to be one of the crown jewels in the US of the hard dance revival, of the furry concert explosion, of trans and queer culture, and so much more. Only a city so unhinged could be such a beacon for all this. That city where wolf ears line the streets, tails knock over drinks, unironed trans flags above the sheets, and fast beats come from every club and radio. So what even is Impact! now? Joy, in a word. It’s the party that helps make you and I feel that our interests are wanted; that people want to see these interests bloom into tomorrow. A place to dress however makes you comfortable, for trans folks, therians, and everyone under the sun to feel at ease in their sense of self among peers and allies. It’s the platform so many artists can share their love of the arts to and find comradery in. Spaces that take the music made in our bedrooms to stages, drawings to the walls of friends, and a place for every type of artist to find a home. Social webs that stretch nationally to help us feel comfortable in any city and town we land. Aiding in building ways in which we can support ourselves through nonprofits and movements that have grown out of our community and helping establish livelihoods. We’re not just one thing or another, we’re an echo of everything we all care about and want to support. A hotspot you can call home in this world as we all continue to grow in our own ways and hone all our interests in this shared love we sweat on the dancefloor and the panted words between bass hits. It’s our joy and our dreams. Now let’s keep building our futures together. Can’t wait to see y’all in the floor <3 -Ev and Scamper Poster by Goo   Teaser art by smokeyocity

There are times when it is important to weaponize sound against the vulnerable ears of persons of interest in areas of recreation where the public is drawn. Qualified sound "blasters" have established electronic dance music as the most successful tool in the continued sound skirmishes playing out across Seattle, WA today. Modern advancements in timbre and "groove" have diversified the weapons commonly seen in deployment (i.e. "concerts"), creating unpredictable activation points on sponsored operations. To best prepare for an everchanging landscape, the following "SEARCH & DESTROY" demonstration showcases a vertical slice of a diverse, bass-heavy arsenal the public is at particular risk of presently: garage, club, UK bass, and sounds of similar threat potentiality. Details are found in the attached dossier:   The DEMONSTRATORS (their WEAPONS OF CHOICE): Dvstrr (Liquid IDM, 3rd Hit Bass) Vixel (Club, Breakbeat, UK Garage) ale (UK Garage, UK Bass, House) SUNDOG (Deconstructed Hardcore)   Poster by velvetomo, additional elements by 3LIXAR

Impact! does a lot... SO MUCH these days. In a year with such an unprecedented amount of variety, how do you push it further? How do you make subs crumble inward from their own force even MORE violently? There's only one answer to these, and it's getting baile titan KARAN! to fly up from Brazil to level Cherry with some of the PNW's best. Favela bass, bolha, mandelão, the whole works make this night October's most sonically treacherous terrain. You've heard whispers about such a quake for months, so now here's a shout: GO!       KARAN! is the project of Brazilian DJ and producer Sérgio Júnior, an artist helping establish Favela Bass as a distinct language within Brazilian electronic music. Active since 2019, his sound is rooted in funk and mandelão, expanding into the global bass music scene with a style designed for the dancefloor: impact, identity and energy. With over 1 million streams across platforms, KARAN! has released music through labels such as Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Deadbeats, Sable Valley and Monstercat, and has received support from artists like Skrillex, Noisia, Boys Noize, RL Grime, Four Tet, Tropkillaz and Dennis DJ, among other respected names in the scene. KARAN! respects the roots of Brazilian funk while pushing the genre into a more experimental and electronic direction, connecting street culture, clubs and festivals. His sound represents an authentic Brazilian funk, projected toward the future of electronic music.   Born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, Draz is no stranger to bridging cultures in sound around the world. With early releases on underground imprints like Wile Out Records, Hermanito and THRIVE OR DIE, and DJ support by GTA, Tokyo's TREKKIE TRAX, and RL Grime's SABLE VALLEY, Draz continues to deliver his multicultural take on hard hitting club music & distorted drum grooves from his own roots and the world around him. With his unique blend of drum heavy Latin club music, Brazilian dance music, and raw underground club music from the United States, Draz truly represents the new generation of international DJ talent.   DJ TaTaa is a Brazilian DJ based in Seattle, bringing vibrant energy to the city's nightlife for the past few years. Known for her dynamic sets, she blends the infectious rhythms of Brazilian Funk with the pulse of electronic music and the passion of Latin sounds. Her performances deliver an exciting fusion of Brazilian Funk, Latin House, and high-energy beats that keep the dance floor moving all night long.   Lil T4T is a DJ, artist, furry raver, and rave organizer hailing from Northern California and currently based in Portland, OR. As a DJ, she has a passion for hardcore, newstyle, and other loud, distorted, high tempo rave music, blending them with bursts of cumbia, beat bolha, footwork, and more. Active in the PNW scene since 2023, she is the cofounder and primary booker of the Portland based rave org Moshpit.   Greystar is a nonbinary electronic music producer and DJ based out of Portland, OR. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she spent her early years bouncing from place to place, relying on art, music, and the internet for homely comforts. Over the past several years she has focused much of her efforts towards community building, both in the URL, with virtual festivals focused on experimental music from musicians located all over the world, and in the IRL, becoming deeply involved within the Pacific Northwest rave and furry scene. Her work and DJ sets have always sought to tell stories and take influence from a variety of boundary pushing music, from oldschool rave culture, braindance, deconstructed club, gorge, singeli, and baile funk.   DeseJo is a Seattle based Brazilian-American DJ pulling inspiration from funk, miami bass, east coast club, footwork, and electro. Her sets are energizing and will make you dance til you drop. Coming from underground raves, renegades, and house parties, you won’t want to miss it when she makes the club shake.     Flyer by Miguel Corrente
