☾☾ THE RUNDOWN

We’re doing it up this Halloween with another night-into-day-into-night Nonstop that’ll begin on Saturday October 26th and keep going until Sunday night.

A cauldron this big needs many flames, so we’ve assembled a deep crew of guest DJs and members of our own resident coven to help bring us to the boiling point.

Starting at 10pm on Saturday, Hunter Lombard will spread a smoldering foundation before the FNV boys, aka JT Almon and Michael Magnan, ratchet up the heat and add their signature blend of acidity and sweetness to the potion before Relaxer deploys the blowtorch for an hour-long live set.

With the darkness deepening, it’ll be triple, triple toil and trouble as New World Dysorder takes over for a heavy dose of dance floor destruction. After that, it’s the supernatural stylings of Total Freedom through the sunrise before Lakuti gives us all goosebumps with three hours of morning magick.

We’ve got tricks, treats and bass bin thunder through the afternoon courtesy of AceMo & MoMA Ready, followed by some proper shock therapy psychotics from Eamon Harkin. At 6pm, it’s Honcho’s turn to cast the final hex.

As always, there’ll be plentiful brews, wines and libations, plus scary good food from the Diner by Izakaya to keep the ritual fueled. As long as it’s dry out, the back yard will be open for cackling and howling.

Just like our previous Nonstops, tickets are divided by entry time. Nothing’s too complicated, but be sure to check the explanation below if you’re coming.

Seasonal looks are required.

☾☾☾ HOW THE TICKETS WORK

- You must arrive during the hours listed on your ticket. For example, if you buy a “10PM–4AM” ticket, you must get here between 10pm and 4am.

- If you don’t enter during your designated time, you’ll have to buy a new ticket, assuming there’s space inside.

- After you’ve arrived during your designated time window, you can stay as long as you’d like — so long as you abide by our safer space policy, of course (more on that below). You’re also welcome to come and go as you please.

☾☾☾☾ SAFER SPACE

In an effort to create a space where all people feel safe, we don’t allow any of these things within our walls or in our back yard:

– Violence
– Non-Consensual Touching
– Racist, Homophobic, Transphobic, Sexist or Other Discriminatory Language
– Leering

If someone says or does anything to make you feel uncomfortable while you’re here, let us know. All our bartenders, security, managers, sound staff and door staff can help you.

☾☾☾☾☾ PHONES AND PHOTOS

Also, for the sake of the vibe, please don’t use your phone or take pictures on or around our dance floor.
