Hulaween is almost here! In about two weeks, we’ll be reunited under the enchanting Spanish moss to celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary!

In preparation for this year’s festivities, we compiled a list of ten electronic acts you don’t want to miss.
Check out our top 10 must-see electronic acts at Hulaween below.
Pretty Lights
Get ready to light up the dance floor because Pretty Lights is bringing the weekend groove to Hulaween’s main stage on Saturday and Sunday! After a much-anticipated return, we are “Finally Moving”. Attendees will be transported into a mesmerizing world of soulful samples and bass-heavy beats. Pretty Lights’ music is like a cosmic journey through sound, and under the Full Moon at Hulaween, it’ll be pure magic.
Boogie T
Prepare to boogie down like never before with Boogie T. His infectious bass-driven tunes and wonky drops will have your head spinning for more. Boogie T is headlining the Spirit Lake stage Thursday and promises to bring his swamp roots to keep the party “Supa Fly.”
SoDown
SoDown’s saxophone-infused bass music adds a unique dimension to the electronic scene. Known for his genre-defying sets, you can expect anything from SoHeavy to SoGroovy to SoChill. It’s like an intergalactic jam session that’ll have you moving to the funky, otherworldly beats until the sun comes up.
Snakes and Stars
This dynamic duo consists of two of live music’s top drummers, Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident, EOTO) and Aaron Johnston (Brazilian Girls, David Byrne’s American Utopia).

Jason Leech
Jason Leech’s diverse musical influences make for a sonic exploration that’s both captivating and mind-bending. Using his keyboard and synths to play over electronic beats brings a new and fresh sound to Hulaween.
