Meet some of the magic makers
It takes a village. Meet the collective behind the beats and voices that bring the energy, the vibe, and the soul to the event. These are the DJs, artists, hosts and space angels who’ll be guiding the evening, keep the crowd moving, the dance floor grooving, and holding space — co-creating with all of you.
