HEADSPACE LAUNCHES BLK FUTURE 2015 by L’OQENZ

Intergalactic, smooth, bass driven, urgent, futuristic, soulful, fresh, relevant; these are the words that have been used to describe the L’OQENZ aka NiteOwlNaps (NON) sound. Hailing from Toronto, NON has emerged through deejaying into music production, composition and infusing various musical influences in creating her unique sound. This sound has manifested into her AUDIO THESIS > HEAD SPACE ROTATES BLK FUTURE 2015. Presented by Pirates Blend, BLK FUTURE features a meticulously curated musical melange featuring MAYA ANGELOU, D’ANGELO, AZAELIA BANKS, JOEY BADASS, TUKU, SAUL WILLIAMS, LAL, KORRY DEEZ & TONA, and an EXCLUSIVE NON-produced BASQUIAT Tribute Mix. And BLK FUTURE is just the intro to what HEADSPACE has in store for an explosive year of Music, Culture & Cosmic Change!
