In 2023, Zoltan made a bold move by introducing his very own record label, Jaded Recordings. With an impressive catalog of productions that had already earned unwavering support from esteemed DJs, the launch of his imprint was a testament to his artistic vision and growing influence within the music industry.
DASA is a DJ, event promoter and budding producer based in Ottawa, Ontario. Coming from a musical family, he started playing bass in rock and progressive metal bands while growing up in the 90s. His influences draw from a wide range of sounds that filled his home growing up - including disco, rock & roll and heavy metal.
He is the co-founder of the House of Kink and SpaceCamp - two of Ottawa’s premier community dance events/raves, both of which aim to capture the essence of some of their favourite festivals, creating welcoming experiences where people feel free and safe to dance, express themselves and make genuine connections.
SOKOTTA is a house and techno music producer based in Ottawa. His raw passion for electronic music began in 2013 when he first discovered electronic music, and quickly fell in love. He began experimenting within electro house and carved out his own style of groovy underground, bass-heavy groove - rooted in house and techno, with a flair for intricate ear candy, female vocal textures - and a low-end that he affectionately dubs “mature wubs.”

Space Camp Mission & Etiquette:
Our events aim to create a positive space that encourages inclusivity and community ✨
We view the dance floor as a sacred space. It’s a place where people can get lost in the music and sensations; a place where we hope people feel free to express themselves without words. Help us keep the dancefloor sacred by trying to keep conversations on the dancefloor to a minimum and move to the sidelines/back of the dancefloor or to the seating areas for conversations 💃🏻🪩🕺🏻
Costumes or theme-wear are always optional, however we do try to offer an alternative to the stereotypical beauty norms of traditional night clubs. As such, we invite our guests to get silly and creative and to wear what makes them feel fun, sexy, beautiful, or extra 👨🏻🚀❣️
We ask guests to respect each others’ personal space and boundaries. Try to give people room to dance. If someone is in the zone, let them be. If someone does not want to dance, respect their no ❌
You can appreciate each others’ beauty and creative costumes/dance moves, but someone’s clothing or dancing does not imply consent to touch. Seek clear, enthusiastic and ongoing consent for any physical contact/activity and respect decisions. No means no!
Know your limits - moderation is key! Please practice responsible and safer partying. Protect your ears. Stay Hydrated. Take breaks. Stretch. Take care of yourself and each other - We all want to continue dancing together for a long long time.
See you on the dance floor!
