Bears in Space began as the creative brain child of Chris Bowen (Shits & Giggles) and Kevin Carney of the Black Disco label in June of 2009. With the blessing of Beats in Space's own Tim Sweeney, it began as a monthly event at Akbar in Silver Lake in Los Angeles. With Carney leaving in 2012, Bowen brought in DJ partner and mentor Victor Rodriguez and turned the monthly event into a seasonal 12 hour lot party in the back parking lot of Akbar. The party features food trucks, vendors and a drag show at dusk and has hosted such names as DJ Harvey, Optimo, Discodromo, Eric Duncan, Lovefingers & Heidi Lawden to name a few. In 2019 the duo was featured at Love International Festival in Tisno as well as at Secret Project Festival and The Blessed Madonna's We Still Believe in Los Angeles. Bears in Space radio airs every third Friday of the month from 10pm until midnight at dublab.com
