“My set was full of surprises; one among which was a second stage setup within the balcony, which had by no means been performed earlier than at Avalon. “LA, we simply turned Avalon into Tomorrowland” is what I mentioned once I was DJing from the balcony. The vibe was ecstatic after the stage-switch. What was deliberate as a 15-minute section from the balcony became 45 as a result of it felt so good! With the second stage and particular company all through the night time, we turned a membership present into an epic occasion, and I’m planning on doing that extra!“ – Laidback Luke
Luke’s offered out night time at Avalon Hollywood was a nonstop throwdown, with LA’s dance music group exhibiting up in in full power. Contributing to the night time have been Linney (performing her newest observe “Act of God” and her collab with Ookay “Drive Away Gradual”), Henry Fong (performing his new collab with Luke, “MAMI”), Ookay (with a B2B with Luke), and RayRay (becoming a member of Luke and Ookay for a B2B2B). Be sure you give a hearken to Luke and Henry’s “MAMI“, which simply dropped immediately.
