Halloween Nonstop

Mischievous spirits descend as the planets align to bring you a Halloween Nonstop that goes full-tilt freak mode all weekend long. Expect dark techno rituals and ominous, mist-covered club ambience as this legendary lineup of selectors possesses the Nowadays soundsystem for a 40+ hour marathon of supernatural sonic bliss. The veil is lifted on Friday when local staple Cotton leads us down wormholes of techno witchcraft, followed by shapeshifting rhythmic sorcery from XOXA’s Tammy Lakkis and a hypnotic live set of outerworld sonics from veteran psychonaut Convextion. On Saturday morning, IMOGEN conjures the sun with hard acid and electro, and the one and only masked Detroit legend DJ Stingray keeps the cauldron piping hot and fast-bubbling. Incomparable sonic sorceress Juliana Huxtable’s ever-shifting invocations carry us into the afternoon, followed by a whirlpool of ethereal fast-paced techno from Sweden’s Philippa Pacho. Darkness falls once again as Rene Wise summons nocturnal rhythms and whispering synths, followed by webs of pumping, sticky grooves from local techno hypnotist LYDO. And the late night hours are enchanted with heady bass and fast-paced, percussive flair by Berlin’s abnama and Nowadays in-house selector DJ G. On Sunday morning, we enter the home stretch as Chicago meme queen Hiroko Yamamura channels the solar prominence with vigorous, rapid-moving mastery. DJ Koolt arrives from Uruguay with a sizzling acid techno bath, and Vladimir Ivkovic guides us to the haziest outer realms before the spirits and ghouls once again return to their final resting place.
