Jacksonville picked the opener. We ran a simple ruleset one DJ per comment and share the flyer tagging @elektronicgroup and counted tags across both of Sophie’s handles (@sophieharkerr and @feline.forest) to keep things fair.

Result: Feline Forest finished well over 100 tags (community first!), with @gvry.the.snvl and @kaykalyptra close behind as runner‑ups. Thanks to everyone who rallied friends and kept it fun.

Q&A with Feline Forest

Runiuni: What moment made you decide to pursue music—and what has the journey looked like since?

Feline Forest: “Music has always been a big part of my life. I was the friend making playlists for everybody. My first EDM festival was the moment I knew—watching DJs spread love and positive energy made me want to do the same. I grabbed Ableton, started building my own sound, and about a year later I began DJing. It’s been a dream come true ever since.”

Runiuni: Tell us about your first set—or your most memorable one.

Feline Forest: “I rode an intense emotional roller coaster my very first set—excited, nervous, everything. I was honestly scared the first two songs, but after the third transition all my worries disappeared. Hearing the crowd cheer me on for the first time was unforgettable. Walking off stage felt like a dream becoming real.”

Runiuni: If you could go B2B with anyone, who and why?

Feline Forest: “Chmura. I absolutely love his sound—he’s a big inspiration. I feel like our selection would lock in and we’d just rip banger after banger.”

Runiuni: What energy are you bringing to Rhythm & Ramps?

Feline Forest: “Heady heaters only type of night.”
