Adventure Club, comprised of Canadian DJ duo Christian Srigley and Leighton James, is coming to The Fillmore in Philadelphia on Oct. 9 as part of the RECESS festival, a college music and ideas festival backed by billionaire entrepreneur and Shart Tank investor Mark Cuban. RECESS, cohosting with Wharton Undergraduate E-Club, Delta Sigma Pi, and Dining Philosophers, will also hold events at the University of Pennsylvania throughout the day on Oct. 7.
The RECESS networking fair, dubbed “The Playground,” will feature opportunities for students to meet representatives from start-ups such as Venmo and uprospie as well as companies such as L’Oreal Paris. Professional speakers will also be present for “Office Hours,” including Shara Senderoff, Co-Founder of Career Sushi, Callan Green, Director of Social Media of L’Oreal Paris, Katy Bellotte, digital influencer, and there will be a headlining fireside chat with Evan Stites-Clayton, Co-Founder of Teespring. Selected Penn student entrepreneurs will also be pitching their companies at the end of the day for a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles to meet industry giants and Venture Capitalists.
While this is the first time RECESS will be coming to Penn’s campus, the teams who won "The Pitch" competition from other schools last semester have raised over $50 million in VC funding to date, describes Sebastian Rollen, President of Delta Sigma Pi at Penn.
“Both the speaker and pitch events will be really interesting,” Rollen said. “There are great prizes; the competition is essentially a kick-starter to take your idea and make it a reality and provides a chance for winners to actually go out and meet investors.”
Staying true to the work hard, play hard philosophy, the RECESS festival is rounded out by a concert featuring Adventure Club, which is currently on its “When Darkness Falls” tour after coming off of a main stage performance at this year’s Electric Zoo Festival. The duo recently released their latest track, a collaboration with DallasK, “Crash 2.0,” which marked their first original music release since last fall’s “Fade” featuring Zak Waters. They also released a mix in honor of their Electric Zoo appearance, Superheroes Anonymous Vol. 7: Road To Electric Zoo, in late August.
