XLucid conjures soundscapes that move with the cultural current—rooted in the legacy of dance music, yet always reaching forward. Their delivery is as dynamic as it is immersive, seamlessly moving between raw intensity and euphoric release. The result is a full-body experience that engages mind, body, and soul, cultivating a sense of unity across the dance floor. Rooted in a lifelong dedication to the craft, Deluxe Ultra blends the history of dance music with a sharp sense of where it’s headed—reworking familiar sounds into something fresh and unexpected. But it’s more than just music—Deluxe Ultra is committed to uplifting the communities that built the scene, channeling dancefloor energy into equity, support, and real change. Together, XLucid and Deluxe Ultra are co-founders of Afterglow, a party that centers immersion, real community, and intentional joy. Inspired by the pioneers of the past and the energy of their peers, XLucid and Deluxe Ultra aim to elevate every sense—through sound, scene, and solidarity. Founder + resident DJ of Philly’s iconic queer party Polari: A Queer Agenda, Firestone brings a genre-blurring, unapologetically queer sound that moves dancefloors and hearts alike. From house to hyperpop, disco to trance, their sets are a masterclass in energy, joy, and liberation. Firestone has been a massive inspiration to Afterglow since day one, so teaming up feels like a full-circle moment.
