DJs Faith in the Glitch & GreenTeaWasted will be throwing down a steady supply of Anime-adjacent jams. Expect to find yourself dancing to a mix of kawaii bass, nightcore, synthwave, future funk, chiptune, EDM remixes & more.

Cosplay Highly Encouraged!!!
Cosplayers, anime fans, and nightlifers alike, join us in a space where expressive outfits, character-inspired looks, and shared fandom take center stage, whether you’re serving main-character energy, chaotic sidekick vibes, or something entirely your own.
