A Dômesicle co-signed by Shift Radio that you won't forget anytime soon. A night dedicated to house, techno, and groove, featuring Bulgarian producer and DJ KiNK alongside our local icon Audrey Bélanger. A true phenomenon of live electronic music, KiNK has become one of the most in-demand performers on the current house scene purely through sheer talent. His secret: a minimal setup of synthesizers and controllers that he manipulates in real time. He crafts a hyperactive set that keeps the dancefloor fully locked in from start to finish. Opening the night, Audrey Bélanger delivers a groovy, precise, and instinctive set, laying the perfect foundations for an evening that steadily builds and never lets the energy drop. 360° visuals by Isotone and Fraud.

Two crews, two directions, two rooms built to finish each other. An empty pool and a basement. Pool: dj g2g >> girl2girl. perreo, guaracha, guarana, cumbia → jersey, nightcore → trance. Jashim b2b Casa Kobrae >> El Chocó meets Casablanca. Siren Mars >> always trust someone good with plants. Katamina >> she might go hard. Basement: u.r.trax >> "immersive music for the mind." techno, electro, cold backrooms reaching for pop. Ada Dielman b2b Claireyy >> percussive meets electro-trance. Frankie Teardrop >> a legend, and we're fucking proud to have this queen. Askim b2b Wasie >> fuck that guy, our favorite dj b2b, good luck Wasie. Lights and visuals by Fraud, Giotto and Crusty by Duffy. Full bar all night long, no BYOB. No flashes. Zero tolerance for hate, discrimination, non-consensual touching, or any asshole behavior — permanent ban + 7 years bad luck. In solidarity with LGBTQI2S+ people, the people of Palestine, and all marginalized groups.
