Secret Society x Def Not A Cult

Secret Society is a party series curated by Loopacabra, an American house music producer and Beatport charting artist.  Def Not a Cult is a new party series by the renowned DJ and producer Mienne.  With many successful collaborations under their belts, Loopacabra and Mienne have reunited to co-host this event.

We are incredibly lucky to have two amazing incredible artists, Mr Jennings and Pacific Patterns, headlining this limited capacity event.  

Mr Jennings:

A sophisticated technique for the delivery of squidges, squooshes, bleeps, blops, and other peculiar sounds. Best administered through a wall of subwoofers at an assembly of gyrating humanoid creatures.  Sounds like: “a psychedelic after-school Satan Club for Furiosas and Lost Boys" See also: “going to a fancy southern banquet to drink malt liquor out of plastic gasoline jugs”

Bass music, but not just a wall of sound!  Think dirty bass, 808s, and thick analog synths but with a big ole helping of certified booty bouncin’ grooves.  The dancefloor is calling ...

Mr Jennings is a founder of the Richmond, VA based collective Party Liberation Front and spent over a decade throwing underground parties up and down the east coast before moving to Portland, OR to make beats and eat noodles.  He’s also a manager at Burning Man Information Radio and LOVES sharing music and shenanigans in the dust. ❤️

Pacific Patterns

Mienne: 

Mienne has been involved in dance culture for nearly two decades. She has always been a performance artist; initially as a belly dancer, her natural sense of movement and rhythm translated gracefully into her journey as a DJ. Her Libran love of balance (and variety!) makes her uniquely adept at setting a sonic scene that elicits journeys across desert tundra, into a dark foggy club, through the expansiveness of space, and SPLAT onto a jiggling subwoofer. Whether it’s bass/tech house or West Coast bass, you can expect to see smiling faces and feel your booty wiggle.
