If you feel like you could have gone harder this year, now is the time to go all out. Fngrs Crssd brings out the second edition of Proper NYE in San Diego to welcome the new year with nothing but the craziest House and Techno acts from the underground. Gather your friends, and don’t forget to find your rave bae for the midnight kiss. Petco Park will host the event once again. Buckle up, as we present you with our picks for the five can’t-miss sets for next weekend’s Proper NYE:
Anna
After playing three stellar sets in Tomorrowland Brazil, including two incredible B2B sets with Ida Engberg and Vintage Culture, the Brazilian DJ is coming out this year with full force. Her display of versatility on the mixing tables can range from Melodic Techno to darker kicks. Her production is undefeated as she consistently releases tracks with Afterlife. Moreover, she has time to acknowledge her softer and spiritual side, including her most recent Ambient album Intentions.
Nora En Pure
The master of the elements herself, the Swiss-South African DJ is known for her amazing Organic Deep House. She fuses technology and natural sounds to create a beautiful atmosphere during her sets. Nora returns to Petco Park for the second time to once again ring in the New Year, filled with love and energy.
Layla Benitez
Prepare for takeoff. The Miami-based Club Space Resident will add her enigmatic textures to this year’s lineup. Her mix of Melodic, Dark Disco and Retro Techno defines her from the rest. She consistently supports Afterlife lineups all around the globe and has received support from CAMELPHAT and Solumun. The daughter of Jellybean Benitez lives up to the family’s talent.
ZHU
The American Grammy-nominated has dominated the scene since the early 2010s, and his magic doesn’t end. He released the first half of his upcoming album Grace as the EP Days Before Grace earlier this Fall and just finished a North American Tour to promote it. ZHU has amazing live shows and crazy DJ sets. We are really looking forward to his Proper set this year.
Gorgon City
Lastly, the English DJ duo Gorgon City will grace the stage for New Year’s Weekend. Their fourth album Salvation was a refreshing compilation of delicious tunes, such as ‘Voodoo’, and ‘Pose’. Moreover, their label Realm Records has released some of the hottest hits from names like Azzecca, Max Tyler, and Vintage Culture. Their set is for sure going to melt your mind away.
We are looking forward to all these sets and more! Sunday 12/31 tickets are sold out! and there are only a few two-day and Monday 01/01 tickets left. Hurry, and join us to celebrate the beginning of 2024.
