San Diego's longest running electronic music monthly, Dragon Lounge, celebrated their 14 year anniversary in January with a special two-day dance music extravaganza at the Kava Lounge and a private warehouse space.
“One thing is for certain: if you like dubstep, drum & bass, or break beats, you've probably been to a Dragon Lounge,” says DJ and promoter Aaron 'Arkon' Hastings, who has curated the 2nd Saturday monthly at the Kava Lounge (alongside Kava co-owner and Dragon Lounge co-founder Kristie Aguirre) for the past 5 years.
“Some of the newer genres added to the format these past couple of years are glitch, future jungle, and future garage,” says Hastings.
Tomorrow’s (Saturday, April 14) installation features Denver glitch & bass producer iONIk with local support from Ubiquitous, Reactivity, Dink, and Arkon.
Time slots:
Dink 9-10
Reactivity 10-11
Arkon 11-12
iONik 12-1
Ubiquitous 1-close
Dragon Lounge was founded by B-Side, Jon Wesley, Kristie Aguirre, and Gage of Merge Life and Music in 1998 and hopped between venues until Kava opened 8 years ago.
