Lapalux, signed to the groundbreaking L.A. label Brainfeeder, will return to Los Angeles for the first time in over four years. He brings a virtuosic approach to electronic sounds, blending multiple genres during a single tune, blowing minds to the point where you may need to take a long walk alone in the woods after the show. Joining him is Daedelus, the homegrown genius we interviewed in 2016.
