The evening began with Associanu’s entrancing set, a deep and melodic blend that lured early arrivals onto the dance floor and got the crowd hyped. By the time Erez took over, the energy had already escalated, pushing the crowd into the night with an electric fervor that only intensified with each act.
The momentum surged as Channel Tres took the stage, delivering a funky groove that amplified the whole floor. Known for his charisma and boundless energy, Channel Tres captivated the audience, especially during his rendition of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen.” It wasn’t just a performance but a full-blown spectacle, with Channel Tres dancing across the stage as the crowd sang along, transforming the venue into a euphoric singalong.
Then came a monumental moment: a B2B set from Skream and Tiga, two legends in electronic music and personal idols of Dom Dolla. Their set, from 8:30 to 10 PM, was both an homage to the roots of dance music and a nod to the genre’s future. Their seamless transitions and crowd control created an atmosphere of pure musical chemistry, raising the bar for the night’s main event.
By 10 PM, the crowd was ready for Dom Dolla, but he entered with a twist—dressed as a Sears Department Store assistant manager, complete with a name badge and a “managerial” air. Embracing the Halloween spirit with humor, he didn’t hold back as he launched into a thrilling set of his signature pounding house beats, paying homage to Skream and Tiga throughout and showcasing his style of mixing. The playful costume didn’t mask his intensity; if anything, it highlighted his versatility as an entertainer who keeps the audience guessing.
The night’s production was equally spectacular, featuring a dazzling array of lasers, pyrotechnics, and towering LED panels that lined the perimeter of the crowd with. Massive visuals projected across the building created a surreal backdrop, synchronized perfectly with the beats that shook the air and the crowd alike.
In a unique twist, the venue also screened Game 2 of the World Series between the Dodgers and Yankees, drawing in a lively subset of the audience who cheered, drank, and enjoyed the game, adding a mini-festival atmosphere to the night. It was an unusual yet perfect intersection of sports and music, appealing to fans of both worlds and enhancing the night’s communal vibe.
