:: DAVE PRAXIS ::
Dave Praxis has been dancing his smiling way through the many scenes of BC’s rave subculture for over a quarter century. Known for volunteering as an event organizer, workshop facilitator and sound tech, Praxis is an old skool raver who knows how to throw a party. He returned to DJing in 2024 after a long recovery from two inner ear surgeries that saved his life. With a renewed inspiration for music, dancing, and community, Praxis pours passion into his sets.
For this special equinox instalment of Just Dance, his set will be a journey through soundscapes, symbolizing the transition from the darkness of winter to the renewed hope of spring. It will feature global sounds infused with atmospheric bass, organic psychedelic breakbeats, and an ecstatic crescendo into the tribal driving sounds of psytech. Praxis strives to take the dancefloor on an energizing journey, additionally incorporating live djembe playing into the mix.
:: RAGHUNATH KHE ::
Raghunath Khe has been an intrinsic part of the evolving conscious dance culture for more than 25 years. An innovative composer, producer, and dj, they are interested in the transformational properties of music, movement, bhajan, and community. They have previously released four albums - earlier ones under the moniker Haitchc, have composed multiple original film scores, and are currently working on material for their fifth full-length release. Raghunath is a formal brahmana initiate within the brahma-madhva-gaudiya sampradaya (lineage), having spent several uninterrupted years as a monk studying and serving in temples both in Canada and India.

:: VJ KASHUB ::
Kashub's name stems from the tribe of his ancestry situated along what is now the Baltic Coast of Poland. The tribe, now dispersed and displaced, lived peacefully isolated amidst sand dunes and swamps along the Baltic since before the dawn of the State of the Teutonic Order some 800 years ago. VJ Kashub brings powerful visual projections to induce a spiritual scene so as to reacquaint long lost souls of his ancestry onto our dance floor.
