ENDLESS NRG
For the 2nd edition of Endless NRG, Galen invites a rising star in the Vancouver electronic music landscape, EtOH.
EtOH, a bsideradio resident, is one of Vancouver’s hardest working DJs, playing and throwing events almost every weekend. EtOH is flexible to what the dancefloor demands, nimble across many of the faster and tougher genres; a great fit for Endless NRG and this month’s “theme.”
This Friday, the two of them will look back at the energetic dance music of the 90s and y2k era (think Electric Circus and MUCH Dance 2000) but, as always, the NRG DJs will look to mix in undeniable dance classics, anthems and hits.
The music starts at 10pm and as always, this one is FREE.
