‘Wooking For Love’ Brings EDM Culture to the Mainstream
“Wooking For Love” brings Colorado’s festival culture to the screen, blending EDM humor, inclusivity and real connection. Casting open through Valentine’s Day.
“Forget limos — this dating show, Wooking For Love, kicks off with car-camping, flow toys, and the wookiest cast you’ve ever seen.”
A new kind of dating show is emerging from the heart of Colorado’s festival community — one that swaps tuxedo limos for dusty Subarus and candlelit dinners for sunrise rail-riding marathons. Wooking For Love, created by Denver tattoo artist and scene figure LaRue Allegretto, is setting out to become the first reality series that fully centers the quirks, humor, chaos and emotional reality of modern electronic music culture.
Rather than trying to polish festival life into something glamorous, the show embraces what makes the community distinct: its creativity, its messiness, its deep sense of belonging, and its unfiltered humanity. That honesty is already resonating — hundreds of people have applied, signalling a clear hunger for a show that treats the subculture not as a joke, but as a world worthy of storytelling.

A Festival World Brought to the Small Screen
Filming in and around Denver, Wooking For Love brings together 16 contestants across 12 episodes, all living together in a ranch-style villa transformed into a microcosm of festival life.
Each episode features challenges inspired by the everyday rituals of wooks, EDM loyalists, jam band kids and festival lifers:
- Flow Art Choreography – Poi, hoops and fans woven into partner routines
- Stage-Hand Scrambles – Building vibes, rigs and trust under pressure
- Railride to Sunrise – A stamina test for both heart and lifestyle
- Community Challenges – Making festival magic with limited time and maximum chaos
Instead of roses, contestants face wristband cuts. Instead of cocktail parties, there are bonfire confessionals and after-after conversations fueled by laughter, nerves and the kind of honesty that only emerges deep into the night.
Allegretto describes the tone as “playful, cinematic, and deeply human.” It never punches down — it celebrates the scene through affectionate humor and genuine emotional storytelling.

A Culture-Shaped Approach to Love and Representation
Unlike traditional dating shows, Wooking For Love acknowledges the reality of festival culture without stereotyping it. A harm-reduction partnership ensures any portrayal of drug use remains responsible, accurate and contextual.
The show is also intentionally inclusive.
All identities, orientations and relationship styles are welcomed. That openness reflects real festival life, where self-expression isn’t just encouraged — it’s foundational.
The casting application asks not only for basic bio information but also:
- preferred festivals
- musical taste
- personal “wook story”
- lifestyle notes
- relationship ideals
It’s a casting process crafted to understand the applicant beyond aesthetics — to understand their journey.
Why “Wooking For Love” Matters
Electronic music culture has long shaped global nightlife and community spaces, yet it rarely receives nuanced TV representation. When it does appear, it’s often flattened into caricature.
Wooking For Love flips that narrative, offering:
- heartfelt connection
- festival realism
- humor rooted in experience
- visibility for a misunderstood subculture
- a platform for creators, dancers, builders and dreamers
For many viewers, it will mark the first time they see their scene reflected authentically on-screen.
For others, it may be the doorway into understanding why this community matters at all.
