10 p.m. – ALVITA and LUX ÆTERNA. ALVITA is a DJ/producer from the Netherlands who is famous for his energetic sound that is sometimes smooth, sometimes harsh and rasping. Sidney Samson was one of the first to discover him, which led to a collaboration between the two on “Make the club go like” on Spinnin’ Records.
Since 2016, LUX ÆTERNA has been pushing the limits of electronic music by transforming their unique audiovisual synesthesia and imagination into a sound experience. As a child, LUX ÆTERNA turned to music to escape, began playing piano at the age of seven, and then took up the drums, saxophone, and guitar, before moving to Amsterdam to dive into the world of electronic music.
In addition to the music, be sure to check out the on-site stations featuring henna, airbrush tattooing, and Boom Balloon and arcade games.
You’ll also want to sample treats, including doughnuts, Kona Ice, Spring Chips and chocolate-covered strawberries, from the on-site food trucks!
