Occasion Vibration NYE
Recommended
Prolific and enigmatic producer Etbonz (Elliott Thomas) and Occasion Vibration resident DJs Spencer Miles and Peter Marks team up to ring in the new year on Produce Row’s lush, heated patio. Miles and Marks have been throwing house and disco parties for several years, ranging from patio dance parties to all-nighters in intimate venues, hosting acts like Solar, Massimiliano Pagliara, and Natural Magic. Thomas has been steadily releasing dreamy techno influenced by cosmic disco, ’80s B-movies, new beat, and all manner of Balearica since 2011, both under his name and the Etbonz moniker. His music simmers, creating a dense and chugging atmosphere with triumphant builds and samples of shredding guitars, which somehow sound futuristic and nostalgic at the same time. All proceeds go toward the Fire Relief Fund for Victims of Ghost Ship Oakland Fire. DANIELA SERNA
