Partnering with two of Miami's most forward-thinking party crews, Safe and Jezebel, Refraction's most raucous party to date was held in Miami on March 19 at The Boombox. Bass, breaks, and all around badness abounded with a who's-who of the transatlantic dance music underground. Hessle Audio bosses Ben UFO and Pearson Sound welcomed the wee hours while some of New York's most respected up-and-comers, like Yumi and Public Records staple Amelia Holt, also had turns behind the decks. There were also plenty of hometown heroes, including the legendary Danny From Miami (AKA Danny Daze), Future Times alumnus Nick Léon and a cohort of other artists who have helped re-establish Miami into an epicenter of innovative American club music, including Sel.6 and Coffintexts.

In late February, we hosted an event in Denver that showcased local talent and celebrated the fusion of music and digital art. DEEDZ, a rising star in the local scene, kicked off the evening with an electrifying set. Latashá then took the stage, captivating the audience and bringing the house down.
This March, together with LUKSO, we had an incredible evening at Austin’s favorite natural wine watering hole LoLo, exploring themes of identity, ownership, and the New Creative Economies through immersive art by Cibelle Cavalli Bastos and Tabitha Swanson.
