Guests and artists will be traveling in from all over to enjoy this monumental occasion.. if for some reason guests can’t make it in person, there will be a live stream for all to enjoy from afar. It’s going to be an epic real ‘family’ gathering and celebration for our music community in which we all love and work in. We’re finally getting back out there!,” states event host Judy Lyon (Torched Music).


John Fryer – “It’s gunna be a big black shinny music celebration of love and life. Come on down and say hi to all the wonderful people who are traveling across time to be there for you for this amazing event.”


Roy Mayorga – “I look forward to spinning songs that had a huge impact on me and are a part of my musical DNA. Also can’t wait to come back out behind the drums with MINISTRY on our up coming US tour this October, see you all soon!”

Anjela Piccard – “Taking the stage again in and of itself, is more than an honor and a privilege. It’s like a releasing one of your last breaths. It’s not the end, it’s a new beginning and that’s kind of my thoughts currently. As I exhale and reach the stage again, it’s like an embrace I’ve been waiting for, for an entire lifetime. As for the performance.. I fill the audience in on what’s happening. It’s more of a reflection of the people around me and just myself. Nothing is as large or as small, is only ourselves.”

 

Ashley Bad – “In these uncertain times, one thing we can always count on is the healing power of music. I’m looking forward to be apart of a great line-up coming together for a special night of fiendishly dark music!”


Brian Hodges – As longtime fans of 4AD Records, Marselle and I are so excited to come to LA and finally mark an end to the long lockdown by spinning tunes alongside John Fryer—a legend of ethereal and electronic music.
