Thurs. Oct. 3 | 10PM-2AM
Apt 503 Lounge | 3680 Wilshire Boulevard #503 Los Angeles, CA 90010
In a quest to break away from the same club mixes that we hear at every function, FEELS created a night that utilizes deep knowledge of hip-hop + r&b soul to get the crowd moving. There are too many tracks in the world to limit DJs to a top 40. FEELS is changing that narrative.
We’re starting off the night with DJ Holy C followed by DJ Marco Dash both out of Chicago, IL. We’ll be continuing the effervescent energy and ending the night with Tiger the DJ; it will be an unforgettable night.
