Good to know
- “DJ AYA will be warming up the night as doors open with a loungey downtempo set.”
Maara will be performing her latest album 'Ultra Villain' live for the very first time! Released earlier this year on Montreal based record label, Naff, 'Ultra Villain' is a raw, narrative-driven project that leans into vocals, vulnerability, and full-spectrum feeling. It pulls from trip-hop, IDM, and leftfield pop, speaking to a more personal journey, unpacking desire, heartbreak, and the tension between chaos and control. Bring your lovers & friends and expect an intimate performance from Maara. DJ AYA will be warming up the night as doors open with a loungey downtempo set.
