A note from Chief Curation Officer - Amy Simpson:

For those who have not been to a 360 Nightlife event, what sepearates 360 from the average party promoter is the curation of the best musical talent and vibes. 360 Nightlife event experiences are synomous with forward trending music journies while never resorting to cheesy "big name" DJ's. We pick our DJ's that are the best at what they do but not because they have 1 hit song or are headlining a festival. But make no mistake, when you attend a 360 Nightlife event, you are never getting local DJ's you will find in some bar - these are curated specialists that have rocked legendary parties w/ A-list stars. It's important to understand the thought and importance we place on music to truly get the most of our immersive experiences. Those who don't, can get lost, those who do, will never want to miss the next. Written by: Amy Simpson, Chief Curation Officer at District Interactive.
