Event Review
I attended a Burning Sun event for the first time this weekend, hosted by @floral_nights at Abreuvoir’s heated terrasse. The event gets an A+ for the friendly and beautiful crowd, excellent music, and the decorated venue. The title, “Burning Sun” was apt—it felt like I was transported back to summer (in the middle of the winter!). In this review, I’ll discuss my experience, focusing on some of the music that stood out to me along with some of the DJ techniques I observed. Read More

He knows that his audiences will expect to hear some well known dance tracks, but he is also willing to play tracks that might be less familiar for most. When I arrived, for instance, he was playing the now super popular Fred Again. Read More

Event Review
The first Sanctuary event of 2023 was a tremendous way to start the year! Shelton Cooper warmed up the beautiful and hard-hitting speakers to start the night from 10–12 midnight. His set featured tracks that mixed modern production with the sounds of flutes, hand drums, and more. Thereafter, Jares hit the decks with a set inspired by music from Berlin-based labels from midnight to 2am. By this time, the intimate Sanctuary was packed with a smiling crowd. Read More
