MORE LOVE 002: Uproot Andy & Deejay Theory
at De La Luz in Holyoke
co-presented with Original Ting
Starting in April of 2025, Secret Planet teams up with De La Luz Soundstage and Original Ting Music to bring you a monthly borderless club night in Holyoke.
Deejay Theory, our fearless local purveyor of international dance genres, is our co-pilot. Together we’ll invite DJs and artists from around the world for a broader, more global dance experience.
The newly kitted-out De La Luz, formerly Gateway City Arts, is now under the thoughtful stewardship of Lighthouse and Laudable Productions. They’ve made some fantastic improvements to the room, from acoustic improvements to lighting to a full bar. We’ve taken a test run through the space and think its going to be a killer hang for this kind of thing.
