LuNasty is a transfeminine, queer, neurodivergent, DJ and multidisciplinary artist, grateful to be living, working and playing on Lekwungen and WSANEC territories. LuNasty has been molded by her 15+ years of underground clubbing in ‘Canada’, New York and Europe and she seeks to honour her experiences and the spaces held by the queer and trans artists who’ve come before her. Comfy playing everything from ambient to gabber, her mixes blend and mash genres and styles together into feel-good flavour packages designed to make you move. She holds a residency at the Vicious Poodle, and often collabs on shows and events with other amazing people working in the underground scene. Outside of DJing, Luna supports community-building through her grassroots initiative @14thguest. Follow her on insta @lunastygram to keep up to date with all her fun projects.

WHAT IS SILENT DISCO? “Silent DJ” or “silent disco” refers to a gathering where people listen together on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast up to 500m via FM radio transmitter, with the radio signal being picked up on wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants (provided by sliding scale donation.) Turn up the bass.. we won't bother anyone! (2-legged, 4-legged, or winged;)

Come co-create some magic together under open, starry skies.

All welcome * all allies * all ethnicities * all gender identities * all abilities & disabilities * * all ages * Let's dance together as one.
