Ionic Sound Systems RETURNS TO THE ZEN DEN

Bringing crystal clarity to the sacred dancefloor, Calgary’s Ionic Sound System is back at Electric Love in its fully realized form.

Built by audio wizard Jay Michael, Ionic is the product of a nearly decade-long pursuit of sound that’s warm, rich and powerful—without becoming harsh or fatiguing.
Inspired by hearing Danley Synergy Horn technology at Oregon Eclipse in 2017, Jay went home, sold his old gear and started building. Years of research, sound engineering courses, system tuning, and phase alignment followed, along with 18 hand-built subwoofers.
The result is massive headroom, ultra-low distortion and the kind of clarity that lets vocals, melodies and every carefully placed frequency live alongside the bass.
And while the bass heads already know what this machine can do, Ionic sounds every bit as incredible with house, techno, Psy-Trance and everything in between, above and below.

Built through passion. Powered by word of mouth. Tuned for people who truly love music.

The Zen Den is ready for sonic nirvana.

TIER 2 OVER 90% SOLD OUT!!!

Full Weekend Tier 2 passes are almost gone.

We added one last handful to give everyone another chance to get in at the lowest remaining rate of $275.

But once they’re gone… they’re gone forever kinda like my Uncle Joe’s hairline.

You can also spread out the damage with our Two-Payment Slay-A-Way Plan for $155/payment + GST (includes all fees).

Don’t delay. Slay-A-Way- while supplies last.

Our 2026 Pre-Parties — the road to Electric Love has begun!!!

You may have missed our Revelstoke alpine meltdown… but there’s still plenty of chaos ahead.

Next up: Whistler (April 9) — as the Arcade Crew recruits the Whistler Junglists Group to blast Après Après into full-blown pandemonium.

Then we head down the Sea-to-Sky to Vancouver (April 11), where we’ll overrun Bassterdam like barbarians and rebrand it ELFSTERDAM.

We close out the month in Kelowna (April 30), teaming up with Hi, Society Entertainment and Frontside for a manic takeover of District Nightclub.

Then it’s time for the Battle of Alberta…

We kick things off in Calgary (May 8) as the Nest Stage infiltrates Sub Rosa, with In Haus Special providing ground support.

From there, we move north to Edmonton (May 9) for a double-trouble doubleheader — with backup from GET DOWN YEG & Vibe Raiders — starting at 9910 and finishing with a full send at Y AFTERHOURS to eliminate whatever brain cells remain.
We’ll also be returning to home base in Kamloops for a Wormhole pre-party at a classified date and location…

We’ll release that once we get security clearance (or when the The Wormhole crew gets their s**t together).

And finally, The Zen Den takes a different approach…
No sonic violence.

Just a pacifist protest...done techno style in Calgary (May 23), as the Leben Collective gurus guide us toward sonic nirvana at the Velvet Room.

If you survive all 7 remaining events, you deserve a participation medal, free counselling, and a lifetime subscription to Bird Watching Magazine.
