On New Year's Eve, Chicago-based artist collective and production company Canvas hosted a bash called "Voyager." Held at Moonlight Studios, the event was meant to evoke an otherworldly space, and the DJ booth was constructed out of glowing green materials that resembled moon rocks.
AOL hosted its first-ever Future Front on September 28 at Pier 36/Basketball City in New York. The event's focal installation was a three-story DJ tower that housed five DJs in cubes playing hip-hop, electronic, Top 40, rock, and throwback-style tunes. Built with scaffolding, the tower featured shifting light, music, and video styles and allowed DJs to play solo sets, participate in music battles, and combine genres. Four of the squares projected video that showed social feeds, DJ information, and live shots of the DJs performing. The event was produced by Barkley Kalpak Agency.Â
