Levitation Room
7:30pm - $18 Advance / $22 Day of Show - All Ages

LEVITATION ROOM
Los Angeles, CA
https://levitation-room.com/
In Los Angeles, where the weight and pressure of the city’s fast paced culture can make your legs feel like pillars, emerges psychedelic quartet, Levitation Room, to break the bonds of gravity with their cosmic wall of sound and thought provoking lyrics. “Just as their name suggests, Levitation Room’s music instills the listeners ears with a light feeling of floating. The dreamy guitar and Lo-Fi projections of psychedelic rock and garage are reminiscent of a deep 1960’s era, but still grounded in an alternative dreamgaze flavor that permeates modern indie music today.” - OC Weekly. Their decidedly hallucinogenic songs whisper and hum the same gentle refrain of their summer of love influences, conjuring up the cognitive imagery of sunny days at the park, spent with friends in a euphoric haze along with lyrical and sonic meditations on life, love, society and self-awareness.

For nearly 15 years, Cloud Nothings have continued to hit the target, steadily becoming a part ofthe fabric of modern indie rock as we know it with a run of fantastic albums. This streak continues unabatedwith their latest full-length, Final Summer – an album that’s so assured, so instantly satisfying, that it forces youto pause and realize you’re listening to one of the great American rock bands in their prime.

Wonder-Full: A Tribute to the Music of Stevie Wonder
w/ DJ Spinna & Jahsonic
9:00 - $20 Early Bird / $25 Advance / $30 Day of Show - All Ages 

“WONDER-Full - A Tribute To The Music Wonder Of Stevie”
a concept created by KeiStar Productions honoring the legendary genius Stevie Wonder... which featured DJ Spinna & *Bobbito who back in 1999, were asked to spin at a party paying tribute to Stevie Wonder’s “Songs In The Key Of Life” album. At this event, we quickly realized we all had a mutual love for ‘Little Stevie's’ music and judging from the atmosphere on the dance floor that night, we knew we had a good thing going. * (Bobbito has moved on to pursue other ventures since 2008).
KeiStar Productions has successfully produced the WONDER-Full event since 1999 starting in its hometown of New York City. From then on KeiStar Productions and DJ Spinna have traveled and hosted the WONDER-Full event nationally and internationally from NYC to Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington DC, London, Berlin, Sweden, Canada, Japan, and Amsterdam.

DJ SPINNA
DJ Spinna is an anomaly. As a world-renowned DJ, producer, remixer, label head, promoter, curator, and influencer-- Spinna has crafted his artistic vision since the 1990s. His musical spectrum spans all flavors-- from Hip-Hop [as founding member of The Jigmastas], to Soul and R&B [authoring remixes for Stevie Wonder and Mary J. Blige] to Jazz and Funk [reviving productions from Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Betty Carter, Al Jarreau, Eddie Kendricks] to Electronic/Dance and Soulful House [transforming Shaun Escoffery’s “Days Like This” into a worldwide dance floor anthem]. His prolific studio work led to his 2002 cult-classic LP, Here To There, released on the iconic BBE label.

DJ Spinna is synonymous with ground-breaking, annual tribute events. Since 2001, “WONDER-Full” has celebrated the Guest of Honor, Stevie Wonder. “Soul Slam,” 20-years strong, is the authoritative Michael Jackson vs. Prince party. At Spike Lee’s “BK Loves MJ,” DJ Spinna commemorates Michael Jackson’s birthday in Brooklyn. In 2001, Motown tapped DJ Spinna for a brilliant remix of Michael Jackson’s “We’re Almost There.” 
DJ Spinna’s collaborations with Stevie Wonder include remixes for “My Love Is On Fire"  and “Sweetest Somebody.” In October 2012, Spinna performed an opening DJ set for Stevie Wonder’s United Nations Peace Concert. 

Spinna has blessed global dance floors across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. He enjoys sharing the stage with influencers such as Gilles Peterson, Questlove, Jazzanova, Dimitri from Paris, Joe Claussell, Osunlade, Q-Tip, Jazzy Jeff, Kenny Dope, Keb Darge, DJ Scratch, DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist.  
Every week on Apple Music Hits, DJ Spinna’s “Here To There Radio” features two hours of themed selections that showcase his versatile expertise and massive vinyl collection. On Twitch, he has amassed 20,000 followers spinning live, marathon sets and interacting with his chatroom on two weekly shows, DJ Spinna Presents Journey and Galactic Quiet Storm.
