Following their announcement, dot.LA’s Spencer Rascoff interviewed Ekeler about his platform Eksperience and the importance of supporting entrepreneurs of color.

And famed Club Quarantine DJ D-Nice closed out the party and kept the good vibes going, spinning tracks and keeping guests on their feet into the night.
