VERTIGO

Slip into the underground at VERTIGO, a night of dark and heavy techno that’ll reverberate straight from the abyss into your ears.

Featuring some of the Valley’s most indulgent DJs and noise makers ZBS.FM, WHALETAIL, MOLLGOTH, DJ HELLO, and HEDON.

ZADIE BELFER-SHEVETT (ZBS.FM) pairs heartfelt melodies with shuffling dance grooves, creating a captivating blend of downtempo electronica, house, techno, and breakbeats."

WHALETAIL spins a devious amalgamation of Berlin-inspired trance tracks and disgustingly dark basement techno that’ll have you begging for more.

MOLLGOTH drives her singular blend of scorching bass music off a cliff into abysmal drops you will never climb out of. The Goth Girl Field Trip heavy-hitter is here from Vermont to bring you an evening you’ll never forget.

DJ HELLO has been honing her craft in the harder styles for years. Producing the Hardstyle 4 A New World event at 10 Forward, she seeks a new hard dance music, mixing blistering classic sounds with heavenly clairvoyant textures and ditching the grandiose for the eccentric.

HEDON will be bringing an the irresistible and groovy wonky rhythms of Psy-Tech, minimal, and Dark techno.

In their free time, they enjoy all the normal stuff, such as rocks, parties, and party rocking. They are currently working on their first album and are very excited about it. Find them online at paddedwaltz.com, Facebook, or on ig @paddedwaltz

RANDI WOODELLE is a solo pop project by Emily Higgins. Randi sings songs about human behavior, cult leaders, becoming reborn, illness, big questions and more with the help of her puppet gang. Drawing on inspiration from Liza Minelli, Paul Reubens, 80s pop stars and musical theater, Randi Woodelle invites you to process the human experience through a childlike, colorful, and uncanny lens. Find them on IG @randi.woodelle
