Refraction x Aptos: NYC Touchdown at Lume Studios
Refraction kicked off its North American IRL season in style with Aptos at Lume Studios NYC. As part of Aptos' Xponential ecosystem week, we brought together our extended community for a night that fused sound, visuals, and presence in one of Manhattan’s most immersive spaces.
The night was soundtracked by Brooklyn legend Toribio, whose signature blend of deep house and Afro-Caribbean rhythms set the pulse for the evening. Known for his work with Conclave, Toribio delivered a live set that kept the room moving from start to finish.
Visual energy came courtesy of Refraction and ALLSHIPS, with curated works lighting up the space and creating a layered atmosphere of art and motion. Big love to Towns, Zora, and everyone who tapped into the IRL Protocol activations throughout the night.
To the dancers, the artists, the listeners—you reminded us why we do this. Until next time, NYC 🖤
