ORGANIC is about exploring the deepness, soulfulness and exquisiteness rooted within house and techno music. The party aims to create a special ambience by combining elements of sound, lighting, decor and plant life to bring back that raw aesthetic and emotion that was naturally embedded in the early days of dance music.
SPECIAL GUEST
Chris Cruse is a Los Angeles-based DJ whose sound is equally influenced by dark warehouses and West Coast sunshine. Frequently playing events in the US and Europe, his mainstay is a party of his own creation, Spotlight, which aims to reclaim and celebrate the queer roots of house, techno, disco, and other forms of dance music. Despite abstaining from social media promotion and discouraging dance floor photography, Cruse’s Spotlight has quietly become the go-to event for underground music in LA thanks to its anything-goes vibe and consistent world-class bookings.
Through his events and beloved DJ sets, he has become a key point of contact between Los Angeles and dance culture around the world. He’s recently played in London at Horse Meat Disco, and in Berlin at Panorama Bar as well as Berghain’s Easter SNAX and New Year’s Silvester parties. At home in LA, he’s recently been billed alongside DJ Harvey, The Black Madonna, Mike Servito, Midland, and Prosumer.
