MUSIC FOR THIS EVENT PROUDLY FEATURES TWO RETURNING AND FAVOURITED HEADLINERS:

🔊 NICKY GENESIS - MAIN STAGE/OUTDOOR GARDEN

Nicky Genesis is a sonic force at the intersection of underground grit and mainstage energy. A Las Vegas–based DJ, producer, and creative powerhouse, she’s known for weaving hypnotic tech house grooves with raw, high-octane basslines that ignite dancefloors worldwide. With a signature sound that pulses, Nicky delivers sets that are as unpredictable as they are unforgettable—seamlessly blending deep textures, driving percussion, and moments of euphoric release. 

As a headlining, touring DJ, Nicky has commanded stages with the same bold presence that defines her productions. Her recent “Wild Ride” EP showcases her flair for cinematic tension, rolling basslines, and fearless sound design—proving she’s not just behind the decks but in the studio shaping the future of underground electronic music. With releases on Confession, Nightbass, Westwood Recordings, Rock Bottom Recs to name a few, Nicky has carved her place as a rising force in electronic music. 

But Nicky Genesis is more than music—she’s a movement. Whether she’s dropping an after-hours club weapon, or curating ethereal visuals, her artistry embodies creativity without limits. Driven by authenticity and an unstoppable spirit, she’s here to leave a mark not just on the dancefloor, but on the culture itself. For those who crave music that doesn’t just play—but captivates—Nicky Genesis is the name to remember.

🔊 FOOTWURK - SUNSET STAGE/ROOFTOP

The most ridiculous Canadian’s you’ll ever meet. Spencer and Josh bring the energy to any room whether that is running the ranks in most beer drank, dancing around, or talking about obscure musical things to the home owners dog. Forming from two separate projects, Spencer and Josh are prevalent in the house scene today, as Footwurk. With a defined focus on fine fine tech-house, they have been able to appeal to many of the up & coming labels in the industry. Most recently the two have been able to secure three spots in Spotify’s top editorial playlist “Bangers”, as well as “Operator” and “Nasty Bits”. On the horizon is a vault full of the most rude and proper tech-house. More than anything, the music speaks to their true love for house music.

CLOTHING AND LOCAL BRANDS WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT INCLUDE:

REFESTWEAR- https://refestwear.com/

At the heart of our mission is the belief that every garment has a unique story to tell, and every time you choose an outfit, it’s portrays a sense of who you are. We’re here to help you in the self-expression part of festival fashion, keeping it weird, wonderful but at the same time way more sustainable than buying some Shein fit you’ll wear once.

We’re not just building a marketplace, but a community who believes in the same values we do. We aim to reduce waste, promote conscious shopping, and help every fur coat, sequin pants, and wirewrapped necklace find a new home.

Because every outfit should get to see another party, and the planet shouldn’t pay the price.
