SUMMARY:The Sponges Live At Bloom Nightclub
DESCRIPTION:The Sponges have become well known for their unmistakable signature sound in dance music. The combination of tasteful 70’s funk & disco samples\, psychedelic sound design\, heavy basslines\, and 4×4 house rhythms can instantly be recognized as one of The Sponges’ finely tuned productions. After having the opportunity to work with many of the artists\nwho originally influenced them including Purple Disco Machine\, GRiZ\, AC Slater\, Kyle Watson\, Opiuo\, The Floozies\, Manic Focus & Lettuce\, The Sponges have now established themselves as a respected act of their own in the world of electronic music.\nSince their arrival in 2019\, The Sponges have been fortunate in their success with millions of streams\, five #1 records on Beatport and a massive touring career. The duo\, composed by the collective minds of Ryan Slepin and Nik Eaton\, have been invited to play some of the\ntop music festivals in the western hemisphere such as Shambhala\, Friendship AMF & Envision. After releasing their debut EP and completing their first ever headline tour in 2023\, sights are set high for The Sponges as they continue to develop into an internationally renowned musical project. \nDJ Soup is a true legend serving maximum aura since he started spinning at 18. With thousands of parties under his belt\, he’s ever evolving\, never stuck in one genre. Whether he’s boosting the house down on the decks or implementing his graphic art designs into his work\, Soup knows how to keep it mad fresh. Running one of the biggest stages at North America’s top festival Shambhala’s Pagoda Stage\, he cooks up fire lineups and plays sets packed with exclusive edits and secret tracks\, giving the stage an energy people cant help but simp for. This year and last \, DJ Soup’s has been slaying at Friendship\, Shambhala\, and Wicked Woods\, plus clubs from here to Baja\, Mexico. When summer hits\, he locks down at the farm\, making magic at the Pagoda stage. Each set is filled with unstoppable sigma energy. Soup is the soul food you need. \n10PM – 2AM \n19+
