Fort Worth is buzzing with excitement for one of the biggest weekends in EDM, and at the heart of it all is Aftrlife Entertainment’s highly anticipated Unofficial: Aftr Party. Set to take place at Whiskey Garden on April 26th, the event kicks off at 7 PM, promising an unforgettable experience for festival-goers and locals alike.
Jason Sexton, Aftrlife Entertainment’s Artist Manager and Experience Creator, described the vision for the Aftr Party as bringing the complete festival atmosphere directly into Whiskey Garden. Attendees can look forward to a full-scale production, complete with custom visuals on LED screens, energetic laser displays, and the venue’s famous heated pool. The retractable roof ensures that even unpredictable weather won’t dampen the mood.
Tracy Hazelton, President of Aftrlife Entertainment, emphasized the significance of accessibility and community engagement for the event. “This party is our way of giving back to the incredible community that supports us,” Hazelton said. With free entry, Aftrlife Entertainment aims to celebrate the EDM family by removing financial barriers and encouraging everyone to join the festivities.
Musically, the night promises an exciting progression, starting with vibrant house beats and culminating in powerful, heavy dubstep. The lineup features talented artists including Belladonna, Clvrk Kent, DJ Edge, Reckless Ryan, Xile, AB The Thief, and Denver’s own rising star, SLASHA. Known for his dynamic mix of aggressive dubstep and melodic bass, SLASHA brings a unique energy to the Aftr Party that fans won’t want to miss.
The response to the event has been overwhelming, with RSVPs coming from attendees all across the nation. “It’s amazing to see how strong and connected the EDM community truly is,” Sexton noted, emphasizing the familial bond among fans and artists.
Additionally, Aftrlife Entertainment plans to use the Aftr Party as a platform to introduce their upcoming event series, Electric Garden, which begins on May 4th and continues every 1st and 3rd Sunday at Whiskey Garden. The Electric Garden series will offer a vibrant poolside experience dedicated to house music enthusiasts.
Both Sexton and Hazelton credited their hardworking team for the meticulous behind-the-scenes planning that has gone into making the Aftr Party a reality. “It truly takes the whole Aftrlife family to pull off an event of this magnitude,” Hazelton said, expressing gratitude for the team’s dedication and collaborative efforts.
Aftr Party Survival Tips
As someone who’s attended my fair share of late-night EDM events, here are some personal tips to help you fully enjoy the Unofficial: Aftr Party:
First and foremost, make sure to recharge before you rally. Rest up, stay hydrated, and have a substantial meal before you head out. Your future self will thank you when the bass drops at 2 AM and you still have plenty of energy to dance.
Since this event features a heated pool, don’t forget your pool-ready gear. Pack your swimsuit, a towel, and comfortable footwear—staying comfy and cool is essential for a long night.
While the drink specials will be flowing all night, remember to stay hydrated with water as well. Whiskey Garden will have water stations available throughout the venue, so take advantage of them to keep yourself refreshed.
Arriving early is key. Doors open while the festival is still happening, making it a perfect opportunity to enjoy the early meet-and-greet and settle into the atmosphere as the energy builds.
Don’t forget to capture and share your favorite moments. Snap pictures, tag your friends, and post your highlights—this is definitely one for the memory books.
Finally, always respect the venue and your fellow attendees. EDM events thrive on positive vibes and mutual respect, so let’s keep the energy upbeat and welcoming for everyone involved.
