In early October, as part of the brand’s “Release Your Inner Tequila” campaign, Desperados called upon industry experts and renowned DJ’s to create the perfect storm of bass in the City of Sin itself, Las Vegas. The Bass Camp experience came together as a two-day festival where attendees were treated to an itinerary of music-themed events — including workshops and sets from DJ Alvaro, alongside more physical activations which used paintball guns and a junkyard to unleash unexpected musical potential. The final highlight of the action-packed gathering was a color run, where cannons full of pigment were fired at participants on the course, before a final wind down with deep house yoga.

Check out some photos of the Bass Camp event above, which was designed to immerse attendees in musical experiences and experiments leading up to the ultimate Bass Drop in zero gravity. Stay tuned for a video of the zero-G plane ride coming soon, and visit the Desperados website for more information.
