No Costume? No worries. You don't have to dress up to party. You are welcome to show up dressed like you just got done with work. Feel free to join us in costume if you'd like by incorporating LED's into your outfit, wearing bright rainbow colors, or wear enough sparkles to blind the door person. Yes you can bring your LED flow props to jam out with on the flow friendly dance floor.
Check in with Justice about other opportunities.

Tee So
Mpls, US – Sax Sells / No Boys In The Booth
A true spark in the Twin Cities dance music scene, Tee So has quickly grabbed a huge section of the market and roped it off exclusively for her band of female DJs, artists and enthusiasts. Her event production abilities shine bright in her show “No Boys In The Booth”, which plays host to dance music heroines.
Not one to hang out backstage, Tee regularly takes her place behind the decks. Delivering outstanding performances all across country, she always serves up a hot plate of the vibes of yesterday and hearty helping of today’s relevance. Whether she is partnered up with saxophonist Cora Lietz-Baker as Sax Sells or just puttin’ on the ritz all by herself or spinning the seas as a Groove Cruise Affiliate DJ, expect the Magic when Tee So is involved!

Dj Eve
https://soundcloud.com/divadjeve
Originally from Austin, TX, DJ Eve, also known as Evilynda, fell in love with music on the dance floor, pulled in by the energy, connection, and freedom of sound system culture. What began as a deep love for electronic music quickly evolved into a passion for DJing, where she found her voice behind the decks and a way to share that same spark with others.
For more than two decades, Eve has been a cornerstone of Minneapolis’ electronic music community and one of the Twin Cities’ first female EDM DJs. She made her mark across nearly every major club in the city and held a long-running residency at the beloved Lounge in the early 2000s. Her career has taken her worldwide as far as Amsterdam, the UK, Mexico and more.
Community is the heartbeat of Eve’s work. As co-founder and resident DJ of Gateway, a trans/queer centered dance club, she strives to create a safe space for anyone and everyone on and off the dance floor. Whether she’s curating an intimate gathering, energizing the queer underground, or commanding a packed club, Eve brings intention to every set blending bass, rhythm, and high energy into moments that stay long after the lights come up.
Eve is also the Founder and Owner of Garden of Eden Productions, a company dedicated to elevating emerging artists and representing those that would otherwise not have a platform for expression.
And when she’s not behind the decks? She’s usually deep into an MMORPG... because even legends need an epic side quest.

Kayla Elsewhere
Kayla Elsewhere (she/her) is a Glitch-Funk producer and turntablist based out of Minneapolis, MN. Her live sets combine 20th century music, film and psychedelia into modern bass music.
She began her musical journey in 2004 during the era of indie backpack rap. In 2007 she was introduced to UK’s Ghetto-Funk Records and their mid-tempo grooves have inspired her ever since. Influences like Pretty Lights, George Clinton, and Gorillaz can also be heard through her music. In addition to scratching, she loves to surprise her audience with samples of media that are familiar, yet forgotten with the passing of time.
She has performed at iconic Minnesota venues such as First Avenue’s Mainroom, The Cabooze, Fine Line, and The Green Room. The festival circuit loves her too with appearances booked at Hotel Minnesnowta, Vibe High and Bass Ribbon Pines. Under her former moniker, DJ Elsewhere, she has been billed with popular funky artists such as Lettuce and Break Science. She’s also been billed with DJ Craze, Shiftee, Jon 1st, and Vibronics.
Kayla Elsewhere releases her music independently and has collaborated with artists such as Megan Hammilton, Anthony Kasper, and Deploi. She can be found primarily on Soundcloud, YouTube, and Spotify.
On a more personal note – Kayla loves pickles, cats, and authenticity. She strives to see herself and her values reflected in her audience. And, she believes music can inspire others to express themselves.
Find Kayla Elsewhere on Discord, BlueSky, Facebook, and Instagram.

About Alucinary Visions
Alucinary Visions is a company I started to combine my painting, clothing, jewelry and
other creative ventures into one conglomerate. The word “Alucinari,” is a Latin word that loosely translates to something that makes your mind wonder, or contemplate philosophy, spirituality, and existence. I chose this name because I believe the purpose of art is to expand our minds, and make us think about things we don’t normally have time to. I am an artist who mainly uses acrylic paint, and specializes in surrealism mixed with sacred geometry. All of my artwork is black light and RGB reactive, making people really enjoy it at concerts or festivals. Art has always been my passion and calling. I have been fortunate enough to be able to participate in galleries and vend at events all over the US, but am based in Minneapolis Minnesota. Most of my experience is vending at electronic music events, but I have done other kinds of music events, craft markets and some galleries as well. I’m always looking to expand my horizons, share my art with new people, and have new experiences!

Starrys.Playpen
I am a freelance, commission illustrator who enjoys drawing all things whimsical, as of pretty recently, I started painting One of a Kind, Hand-Painted Adult Pacifiers as I noticed there wasn't much in the market; saw the opportunity to contribute and took it. While niche, Pacifiers can be used as a soother for Age Regression, a piece of decoration for Age Play, or even for those wanting to show off a mouthpiece during raves.
