Pride Weekend Kickoff

Twisted Element is proud to be an official sponsor and the official kickoff party of Calgary Pride 2017! UPSTAIRS Reid Bourgeois has had the opportunity to DJ across Western Canada sharing his love for deep vibes and funky jams. He has shared the stage with Jvst Say Yes, Willam and Jinkx Monsoon. His cross-genre sets have one motive: keep people moving. He believes dance music carries an energy unparalleled by anything else; being able to share the sentiment that it brings him with other people is what keeps him behind the decks every weekend. Nic Nemesis is a DJ based out of Calgary, Canada who has been involved in electronic dance music from a very young age. He attended DJ workshops from the age of 12 and has been immersed in electronic music of all sorts since. He is inspired by artists such as Daft Punk, Eric Prydz, Deadmau5, Faithless, Green Velvet, and many more. In 2013 Nic began his first residency at Republik nightclub in Calgary and has been appearing at most of the local nightclubs since! This summer he warmed up the decks on the mainstage at Chasing Summer. His DJ style represents a streamlined yet chunky, driving flair through the genres of house and techno. Nic believes that dance music transcends generations and the energy infects all those who are immersed inside of it.
