Insomniac‘s premier house and techno festival, Secret Project, is back for its second year with an equally impressive lineup to boot. Embracing the outdoor, day-time environment, Insomniac opted for more melodic and mellifluous sounds as compared to their annual Halloween massive, Escape, which is bringing the heavy-hitters who belong in darkness.
The most notable artists on this year’s Secret Project lineup are Four Tet, Modeselektor live, a solo set from Dixon and a back-to-back from Helena Hauff and Nina Kraviz. There are also some serious talents coming back for round two including Peggy Gou and DJ Tennis who will be hosting his own Life and Death Stage.
This past Saturday night Los Angeles promoters Future Primitive took over Gin Ling Way once more, bringing DJ Tennis back for a special all-night-long soirée alongside Acid Pauli.
The sold-out show delivered and then some, the event a real vibe from beginning to end. Figureheads of left field house and electronica, DJ Tennis and Acid Pauli, went back-to-back from open to close for the day-into-night party which ended at midnight, taking revelers on psychedelic journeys, carefully moulded to their respective time and place. The genre palette, as expected, was broad, but carefully curated, pushing the musical envelope in a seamless blending of avant-garde electro, soulful house grooves, and driving tech.
Figureheads of left field house and electronica, DJ Tennis and Acid Pauli, will return to Los Angeles on June 22 for a day into night sermon at Chinatownâs historic Gin Ling Way. The block party will be hosted by one of the leaders of the LA techno and house scene Future Primitive, who also celebrate their first birthday in June.
DJ Tennis is a name as ingrained into the modern foundation of house and techno as it is its future. Known as the head of the renowned Life and Death imprint and co-founder of Art Basel Miamiâs iconic Rakastella event, Tennis has spent years refining both the musical direction and industry backbone of contemporary electronic music, emerging from Italyâs punk and rock scene with a singular spin on dance music. His performances offer a showcase of his diverse musical background, pushing the musical envelope in a seamless blending of avant-garde electro, soulful house grooves, and driving tech.
This coming Saturday, February 10th, Humans Alike and Heart Nightclub in Miami are hosting Life and Death boss DJ Tennis, with support from Donnie Lowe.

We have been following the events with Minimal Effort closely, knowing full well what happened during their All Hallow’s Eve event on Halloween weekend. The simple truth of the matter is that the organizers were forced to shut doors due to “capacity and safety” issues although the event was not at capacity as approved and proven by city permits.
Naturally, this left a very sour taste in the mouth of attendees who couldn’t enjoy the night. The hallmark of a good brand can be seen in how they react to adversity and in their failure to deliver to their customers. Minimal Effort’s response in this regard has been impeccable, refunding all requests from ticket buyers that didn’t enter that night as well as providing them a free ticket to the upcoming 2017 New Yearâs Eve edition. All this while doubling down on efforts to secure a venue that has a proven track record and that will provide the safe haven for all to enjoy the welcoming of 2018.
With this in mind, today Minimal Effort announced that it is makings its return to the historic haunts of The MacArthur, site of their successful 2015 edition and a venue that holds much respect and appreciation from Minimal Effort regulars. The event will continue its devotion to providing ahead of its time electronic music lineups to the underground elite of Los Angeles.
Minimal Effortâs lineups have always been a point of pride, and this time it’s no less, featuring Dirtybird favorites Justin Martin and J.Phlip, Life and Death co-founder DJ Tennis, Detroit’s Jimmy Edgar, grit-driven House specialist Ardalan, All Day I Dream favorite Oona Dahl, one of the world’s craftiest track-selectors in DJ Three and Minimal Effort staple Human Resources. But that’s not all, as Minimal Effort plans to announce a Special Guest on December 3rd.
