Last Friday, our Head of Curation, and resident DJ (aka Zooey Glass) performed in front hundreds of people at Spring Awakening; Chicago’s largest EDM festival. If you missed out, check out some of his tunes in the link above.

He had this to say about the whole experience:

“My first festival experience was sheer bliss. To hear my tracks that loud and be accompanied by that level of production was a dream come true. It was really gratifying to provide a more underground perspective at a festival so geared towards a more mainstream sound and see that my music was resonating with people”
