Club music only. They love playing full tracks and never rushing into the next record. It’s a marathon not a sprint. The best nights are where we forget about everything and get lost in the music together. \nGlass Petals is the “Club Music Only” project of Vancouver-based Felix Cartal and johnnyjover. \nGlass Petals’ passion for house and techno shines in their releases that blend genres to create a signature sound\, setting them apart as one of the most exciting and innovative DJ duos in the scene today. \n  \nCapozzi – Albany CA \nStream Capozzi music | Listen to songs\, albums\, playlists for free on SoundCloud \nCapozzi is new to the scene but no stranger to rhythm. Debuting her first record on Tchami’s “Confession” label\, followed by successive releases on Pinnacle Collective\, Capozzi secured her spot among the house hitters. Many know Capozzi as the tiny blonde-haired DJ killing her sets at festivals and concerts worldwide – many also know her as Lil Debbie. Jordan isn’t new to the industry\, she’s been around longer than you think. Jordan’s love for both Fashion and Music has helped her hand in hand while crafting her own identity\, she started out styling and directing content for other artists and at a turning point – used all her game and skills she learned along the way and became the Artist we know and love. Jordan has since then surpassed her Lil Debbie era with her new calling as DJ Capozzi. Branding her Italian last name\, she’s busier than ever\, between traveling the world\, working with brands like Adidas\, and still pushing content as an artist – she’s truly a force to be reckoned with. Here at Galore\, we love profiling artists and creators pushing boundaries. \nWith Local Support: \nMare Bear – Nelson BC \nStream Mare Bear music | Listen to songs\, albums\, playlists for free on SoundCloud \n10PM-2AM \n19+ URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/glass-petals-live-at-bloom-nightclub/ LOCATION:Bloom Nightclub\, 198 Baker St\, Nelson\, British Columbia\, V1L 4H4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Calendar,Live Performance END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250614T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250614T230000 DTSTAMP:20260416T193747 CREATED:20250527T012032Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250615T000213Z UID:15545-1749927600-1749942000@www.wkartscouncil.com SUMMARY:KINGS & THINGS!
