With special guest TAABU, who is the protoplasmic embodiment of dance music, tribal culture and desire. Playing in Montreal, Vancouver, Victoria, Nelson and soon to expand abroad, TAABU is proving to be quite the mixer and music exploration adventurist. TAABU continues to take risks every show, never DJ’ing in the “Safe Zone”. His Style is provocative and unique.
What is the essence inside all of us but a desire that burns to be expressed, taking your personal journey to the edge? A taboo act, which appreciated in the context of your lifestyle, proves to be one of the most liberating experiences of your life.
