Expect distinct sets from LA faves spanning various electronic subgenres, guaranteed to keep your hips moving and your Pride Month-ing.

Lorem Ipsum 8 to 9 p.m. mad gavs 9 to 10 p.m. promwitch 10 to 11 p.m. SUPPA 11 p.m. to close (set times are approximate) Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum is a deep and melodic progressive house DJ specializing in controlled, refined pressure building, energy control, and hypnotic peak-time catharsis for music-centered spaces. His distinctive queer twist creates moments of emotional release and heart-opening climaxes, to create shared journeys on dancefloors. Lorem Ipsum’s musical DNA is built from the desert, his own spirit of service, and a Burning Man-born ethos of radical expression and activism. He routinely plays for California's and Nevada's largest furry festivals, psychedelic off-grid desert campouts, San Diego's full moon gatherings, LGBTQ+ socials, and intimate all-nighters. Often, Lorem Ipsum is enlisted as a secret weapon DJ adept at creating unforgettable, welcoming, hypnotic groove-locked trance and communal catharsis — depending on the space's needs. mad gavs mad gavs (she/her) is a dynamic force behind the decks, seamlessly blending an eclectic spectrum of sounds — from club to breaks, house to techno, Jersey to jungle, and everything in between. Her sets are a high-energy exploration, pushing boundaries while keeping dance floors locked in motion. mad gavs has played a key role in fostering its community-driven ethos and forward-thinking sound, cementing her place in the underground circuits known for championing cutting-edge electronic music. Her 909 club edits have caught ears far and wide, earning spins on BBC Radio 1 and making waves at festivals like Lightning in a Bottle. Whether in intimate clubs, gay bars or expansive festival arenas, mad gavs delivers with precision, energy, and an unrelenting passion for sound. promwitch promwitch (they/them) is a dynamic, genre-fluid DJ often treading the lines between sugary sweet pop; unabashed femme-forward sass; and the more hard-hitting, evocative, even menacing beats that first enamored them as a teen (and still do within the LA underground). As an artist and long-time writer for prominent LGBTQ+ publications, their queer and nonbinary identity is an integral part of their creative expression across mediums. A life-long fan of electronic music, promwitch found solace on warehouse dancefloors of various Los Angeles raves and queer parties, using movement and sound as a means of processing their identity and gender. Moving behind the decks was the logical next step. While promwitch found their sweet spot with fast-paced, groovy techno, they dabble in house, breakbeat, hyperpop, trance, happy hardcore, and electro (among other genres) — all the while infusing their brazen queerness and passion for the music into every mix. SUPPA SUPPA (she/they) is a passionate DJ and avid lover of breaks, house, techno, breakbeat, drum and bass, jungle, club music, and more. SUPPA currently represents several collectives dedicated to inclusivity and the empowerment of underrepresented artists and communities within dance culture. Since 2022, she’s hosted "Bops N Drops" on Particle FM, a DIY community internet radio station in San Diego, and she’s also involved in femme-forward, queer DJ workshops with Bass n Babes. Through these efforts, SUPPA aims to create safe and inclusive spaces for queer, femme, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ individuals in music, while uplifting the creativity of this vibrant community. Her dedication to radical self-expression through music has allowed her to cultivate a well-rounded perspective on electronic music and the broader music culture in Southern California.
