ILLUSIONS
occult cosmic dance ritual
a periodic night featuring a mix of live acts, djs, video, and audio.
featuring the best of new and classic dark dancefloor sounds

minimal wave, shimmering bass, haunted pop, dark alternative, etc.
free-form and floating event.
ILLUSIONS started in 2010 as a collaborative curated event by Vaneck, Tella and myself,
to present a night that touched on the dark music that we were excited about, while
presenting live acts, multimedia and dj sets, to flesh out a full and unique event.
