The Reason Why presents POR LA CUAL

THE IDEA:

There are individuals who are beyond passionate in their pursuit of a craft or experience, unbridled dedication spans music, art, extreme sports, food and cultural influence.

This pursuit of their chosen venture at times appears crazy to those outside viewers, the audience does not understand the motivation behind the actions. They ask why?

Why the late nights? Why spend all this time? Why, why… why?

The question is why. The answer is simple, the actions you see are the motive ‘by which’ (por la cual) our people choose to engage in their day to day. It’s their driving force, the reason they rise in the morning and the cause for late nights spent furthering the mastery.

What is your reason, by which, you find yourself here with us tonight?

ABOUT THE NIGHT:

Por La Cual features a diverse range of headliners, local djs to enhance the journey throughout the night and a layer of decor to make Monkey Loft feel like, well, not Monkey Loft.

RAISING FUNDS FOR APOG & SAUK-SUIATTLE INDIAN TRIBE:

APOG is a volunteer run event and goes really big on production, sound, and headliners. Most years APOG hosts a fundraiser to cover some additional "cool sh!t" for the event. This year is no different.

As the festival itself takes place on the unceded ancestral lands of the Tribe APOG felt it important to take this opportunity to give back and support the SAUK-SUIATTLE INDIAN TRIBE. Proceeds donated to the Tribe will be to assist with the elder lunch program.

This year's festival is already sold out. Raffle tickets are being sold to raise funds and give a lucky person the chance to still attend. Raffle tickets are included as a presale option and also available for purchase at the event. Proceeds from the raffle will be split between APOG and the SAUK SUIATTLE INDIAN TRIBE.

With no preferred genre, he brings all sounds, tempos and energies into every set providing a unique experience each time he steps behind the decks. Combine this with a high level of technical ability he will often leave even experienced djs confused and amazed as he transitions and layers tracks that "shouldn't" work.

In the past few years Rob has begun creating his own art pieces, art installations placed within seattle and more remote parts of Washington.

Hosted at Seattle's Monkey Loft every second Saturday it is well on it's way to being a beacon for people in the city looking for more than the usual club experience.
