Hotline’s new rave home!

Hotline is a rave I started in 2015 in Vancouver as a response to my frustrations of working in the club scene. I wanted a place where queers and marginalized talent could play whatever they wanted and express their love for underground music. Our original home was a warehouse venue called 333 which sadly closed down a few years ago (RIP). Since then Hotline has bounced around various underground and outdoor venues but we’re so excited to announce our new home! Crystal Precious’ secret new venue the Crystal Ballroom located in central Vancouver / Mount Pleasant area. We had our initial launch in February which was so fun and kicked of our monthly residency there. It features a juicy Funktion-One sound system, cozy chill areas and we’ll be enhacing with some haze and strobes of course. The next event is March 25th featuring local Techno / House operators DJ Hockey, DJ NJOKI, Emerencz and myself. Tickets on sale here and you can stay connected on Instagram. Call the hotline on the day of for address ☏

Bass Coast Festival 2022 Recap

Hard to put Bass Coast Festival into words but Geemaree did a very stellar job of recapping one of my favourite sets of all time. The curating, art, vibe & diversity was on a magical level and I feel like we all had a much needed transcendence this year. Thank you to everyone that contributed to this masterpiece of a festival and silly times together. ❤
