WAK’S first party of 2026 brings together a fast rising star from the club music scene with a genre-bending stalwart from LA’s underground.
Surusinghe: From DJing, to producing, promoting, labels, and management — there isn’t much that Australian-born, London-based Surusinghe isn't involved in. Experimenting with bass, reggaeton, broken-beat and techno, Surusinghe keeps her mixes fast and unexpecting. As a producer, she's behind thrilling EPs, from 2023's 'Brake Fluid' on AD 93 to 2025's 'i can’t remember the name of this, but that's ok' on dh2.
Gbenga: Renowned in underground music circles, LA-based DJ and producer Gbenga's electrifying sets have lit up stages at Boiler Room, Insomniac's Escape Halloween, and The Lot Radio. Their genre-defying mixes blending global club sounds — from guaracha to ghettotech — are characterized by captivating polyrhythms, hard-hitting percussion, and high energy.
From LA to Berlin and back again, WAK is a DIY rave that brings together full-throttle club music, killer sound, high-production value, and club care and comfort. We throw parties for the love of music, dancing, and sharing energy with cute new friends.
