Psychedelic Culture 2026
Afterparty
Psychedelic Culture 2026 is keeping the energy flowing with our official Afterparty at El Rio SF, a beloved queer, BIPOC‑run neighborhood bar and community space in the heart of the Mission District, just a short trip from the Brava Theater.
🪐 Sunday, April 19th ~ YES, Bicycle Day!
🪐 From 9:30pm to 12:30am PT
🪐 At El Rio SF (3158 Mission St, San Francisco)
We’re creating a night that feels true to Chacruna’s vibe: warm, welcoming, and lively with conversation, music, live painting, oracle reading and lots of celebration alongside our beautiful community of attendees, speakers, and all the spirits who share our energy!
El Rio offers a beautiful mix of indoor and outdoor space, with a dance floor, patio, and plenty of room to move between party and chill, connection and integration. Join us to unwind after the conference, keep the conversations going, and celebrate the many voices and stories that make Psychedelic Culture so special.
Come savour the best psychedelic holiday with a wonderful crowd, and brilliant local DJs:
✴ DJ Nadie ✴ (9:30pm-10:30pm)
DJ Nadie is a social anthropologist and a Latin American music journalist for CassetteBlog. As an immigrant, he launched the DJ Nadie project in California to support community organizations and promote the music of people of color from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. At times, he performs as a DJ; at other times, he serves as a music storyteller or creates visual narratives for artists such as Sonora Kriminal, Pigguratt Selektah, and Rascuaches.
✴ DJs NFS & Matt ✴ (B2B 10:30pm - 12:30am)
NFS & Matt are DJs, artists, musicians, curators, and culture workers known for showcasing their eclectic tastes through Cone Shape Top, a shop and project space they run out of their home in Oakland. Matt has been spinning eclectic sets for over 20 years, from ambient to house and every zone in between. Never beholden to genre, they relish finding relationships between varied and often disparate sounds to create shifting and unexpected moods. NFS (Not For Sale) is a Oakland raised and based DJ that weaves together sonic worlds that invoke esoteric and mystic atmospheres often extracting on more offbeat offerings that range from ambient, leftfield club, post punk, noise and avant pop; often with a penchant for juxtaposing contrasting tempos and rhythms. Together they also run the recurring party, EGG! at Stork Club and monthly show, 'Cone Zone' on Lower Grand Radio.
We can’t wait to see you at the PCU26 Afterparty at El Rio!
