Experts Only Festival NYC

On September 20–21, 2025, the Experts Only Festival brought a lineup of electronic music to New York City. Founded on the ethos of “music without limits,” the event embodied the vision of John Summit, whose label Experts Only has quickly grown into a global movement. With a stacked lineup featuring John Summit, Kaskade, AYYBO, and Cassian, the festival delivered an unforgettable weekend for dance music enthusiasts.

Beyond the artists, the immersive production defined the atmosphere. World-class laser technology, precise programming, and seamless front-of-house execution combined to deliver a live experience that fully matched the bold ambition of the festival.l.

Laser Technology Used

The festival’s visual experience was powered by an impressive rig of 22 Kvant Atom 58 laser projectors, provided by Laser Light Company. These powerful systems transformed the venue into an immersive environment, bathing audiences in laser beams and expansive effects that elevated every performance.

All lasers were controlled using Pangolin's BEYOND Universe, allowing the team to program complex, high-impact effects over multiple laser systems with precision timing and creative flexibility.

Programming was led collaboratively by JD3 Lasers' John dickson and Hypnotica Beams' Logan Izenas, ensuring that visuals aligned seamlessly with the performances. For John Summit’s sets specifically, programming duties were split between the two, with on-site operation ensuring real-time responsiveness to the energy of the crowd.
