Saturday night we had the immense pleasure to vibe and dance at two great parties. First we got to see incredible performances at Kompression: Guests Pezzner, from Cali, and Kevin Knapp, from Berlin; as well as Kompression residents, Unicorn Fukr, Ryan Deffes, and Herb Christopher at The Dragon's Den. Outside of the Dragon's Den, on the corner of Frenchmen and Esplanade, we joined a group of party people dancing on the street, assisted by a mobile DJ, who was wheeling a cart outfitted with speakers and an iPad for mixing.
The next destination of the night was a nondescript warehouse, where we were welcomed into a energetic rave and subsequently into a eargasmic journey. OCTO OCTA joined TRAXONLY this time, indulging us with very deep acid techno/house-tech set. The carefully picked samples, complex synth melodies, and thundering beats traveled though our bodies and resonated deep into our souls. There was no way to stand still. I was almost brought to tears by how touching the music was.
