Too much work is not good for anyone, so when we're all able to go out again you should head to the Asthetixxx late-night party. A house music swell of energy, this is a sure way for Aries to sweat out all the hard work you’ve been doing. Co-founder DJ Smiles Davis says Aesthetixxx was started "with the intention to bring soul house music to the LA underground & reconnect the association of house music back to the LGBQT and POC community." Follow @asthetix.x.x on IG for news about the next event.

In the meantime, you can have a dance party at home with the "Quarantine 001" mix by LA-based Smiles Davis.
