All Waves / Outer Sounds (DJ Set)

From early 80s New Wave and Dark Wave sleekness to Punk and hazy, ethereal synthscapes, guilty pleasure classics and dance floor gems— all tie together in a cohesive, sophisticated set, feeling like a Sofia Coppola film that hasn't been made yet. A Chicago native, Rios was the creator-curator of The White Room and is the co-founder and drummer for MIIRRORS.
