Coming up on Saturday, February 13 in downtown Los Angeles is the unique music and art festival known as Lucent L’amour, presented by The Do LaB.
If you ask many of the top artists who have performed at the event in the past including renowned electronic artists, Z-Trip and Adam Freeland, Lucent L’amour is unlike any other festival around the world. Many festivals have become large corporate endeavors: simply slapping their name onto everything, giving artists a stage and watching the dollars roll in. But at the Lucent L’amour, it is a far less a commercial event and more of an experience. Basically, its going to be an incredible, dare I say epic, party that you will certainly not want to miss.
First off, the artist line-up for the event is packed with the best artists in the party music industry. It is full of acclaimed artists and DJs including Bassnectar, N.A.S.A., Stanton Warriors, Yard Dogs Road Show, and Lucent Dossier Experience. I know you may not recognize any of those names so here’s the skinny for you to realize the quality coming to this event. On the DJ team N.A.S.A. (North America South America)’s most recent album, The Spirit of Apollo, they collaborated with artists like Kanye West, Santigold, Lykke Li, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gift of Gab, M.I.A. and dozens more. They are truly recognized as one of the best DJ teams around the whole world! At last year’s Coachella, they put on such an incredible performance that many reviews of the entire festival have said that it was the best set of the entire weekend. Rocking their spacesuits they look and sound so much like Daft Punk, but their main difference is that they choose to work with and sample tons of mainstream and popular artists.
To go along with the electronic party music that many of us know and love, there will be a huge art gallery curated by Mike Russek and Deborah Vogt featuring the work of over 30 incredible Los Angeles artists. And even that’s not all for the artsy people: the amazing duo known as The Mac and Retna will be painting a large scale mural at the festival!
And to top it all off, its only a few miles away at the historic downtown Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium. You can get your tickets now at www.lucentlamour.com, or keep your eyes peeled because The Do LaB is working on selling tickets on UCLA campus, for a lot cheaper. The festival has been summed up as “a festival where art and music collide in an explosion of self-expression!” You shouldn’t miss it.
