Searching for paradise on the dance floor

In March I hosted one of my favorite djs, Nick Höppner, for the first all night Acid Camp. The rain was pouring down in Los Angeles but that didn't stop hundreds of ravers filling the venue to the brim and dancing until the sun shinned through the skylights of a DTLA warehouse. Here's the first hour of Nick's set recorded live from that night.
