Wednesday, July 9 – Scooter (San Diego)
SideBar’s Industry Wednesday gets supercharged by local legend DJ Scooter. A San Diego native with a global resume, Scooter brings over a decade of party-rocking prowess to the booth. He’s a genre-bending wizard who’s mastered both hip-hop and house – one moment dropping an old-school rap anthem, the next hitting you with a euphoric house banger. Voted San Diego’s best hip-hop DJ four years running, Scooter has lit up massive stages from Coachella to the Sundance Film Festival. He’s even half of the dynamic duo Scooter & Lavelle (their track “Beats Inside My Head” hit the XM Radio Top 10). On social media, @ScooterDJ treats thousands of followers to behind-the-scenes looks at his high-octane lifestyle. When Scooter steps into SideBar’s DJ booth on July 9, expect a mid-week eruption of energy. He’ll read the crowd and spin up an unforgettable mix of club hits, throwbacks, and electrifying remixes – all delivered with his signature enthusiasm. Get ready for a Wednesday night that feels like a Saturday rager, as Scooter jumps on the mic, pumps up the crowd, and turns SideBar into an all-out dance party. This is a rare chance to experience a hometown hero in an intimate setting, so gather your crew and be prepared to go hard #WhereLuxuryMeetsEdge.
Friday, July 11 – Crespo (Miami)
Come Friday, SideBar raises the stakes with DJ Crespo flying in to bring some Miami heat to San Diego. Born in Chicago and bred in Miami’s famous club scene, Crespo is a world-class open-format DJ known for his genre-blending artistry and nonstop energy. He’s everywhere a party lover wants a DJ to be: rocking 150+ shows a year around the globe and holding down residencies at marquee nightclubs like E11EVEN in Miami, Marquee Las Vegas, and Up&Down in New York. He’s lit up massive festival stages at Electric Daisy Carnival and TomorrowWorld, even sharing the spotlight with heavyweights like Diplo and Steve Aoki. Crespo’s style is all about good vibes and an eclectic musical journey – one minute you’re singing along to a classic hip-hop throwback, the next you’re losing it to an earth-shaking EDM drop. He seamlessly fuses Miami bass and Latin spice with Chicago house and hip-hop, creating an infectious atmosphere that gets everyone dancing. With a huge online following and a trendsetting persona (he’s known for stylish fashion collaborations and upbeat mixtapes), Crespo knows how to hype a crowd before he even arrives. When he takes over SideBar on July 11, get ready for a rollercoaster night of feel-good tunes and festival-worthy drops, delivered with the finesse of a seasoned showman. This Friday fiesta will have the see-and-be-seen crowd dancing in designer sneakers and stiletto heels until last call. It’s a taste of South Beach and Vegas right here in San Diego – truly an exclusive nightlife experience you don’t want to miss.
Saturday, July 12 – Mixta B (Seattle)
Rounding out the weekend, SideBar presents DJ Mixta B for a Saturday night spectacle. An emerging star with an edge, Mixta B has been crafting high-voltage sets from coast to coast. Born in New Jersey and raised in Alaska, he spent years sharpening his skills in Las Vegas’s elite club circuit before taking Seattle by storm – talk about a unique journey! Mixta B is an open-format phenom who refuses to be pigeonholed: his sets weave effortlessly from hip-hop and R&B to EDM and Latin beats, keeping the crowd guessing and loving it. He’s played alongside and opened for major acts across the spectrum – think hip-hop icons like Rick Ross and Three 6 Mafia, EDM heavy-hitters like Dillon Francis, and even wild card artists from MTV’s Wild ’N Out tours. His versatility and showmanship earned him a loyal following and stints on popular radio mix shows (you might have caught his mixes on Las Vegas’s Q100.5 or Pitbull’s Globalization station on SiriusXM). On social media @DJMixtaB, he’s known for creative mix videos and a fun-loving persona (he’ll even joke that he’s “a vegan who plays dope music”). When Mixta B hits SideBar on July 12, expect a sonic adventure through all your favorite genres. He’ll be dropping crowd-favorite mashups, hip-hop bangers, and surprise remixes with turntablist flair. His set is poised to turn the club into a frenzy – one moment a sing-along party, the next a bass-thumping rave. With Mixta B’s knack for mixing polished club vibes with a raw, edgy twist, Saturday night will be an exhilarating finale to our July lineup. Come witness a rising talent who’s poised to become the next big name – and be ready to brag that you saw him from up close at SideBar’s luxurious playground.
Each of these July nights offers a one-of-a-kind thrill under SideBar’s neon glow. The common thread? An electrifying party atmosphere infused with SideBar’s signature mix of upscale glamour and underground edge. It’s the ultimate summer trifecta: a mid-week blowout with a hometown hero, a Friday fiesta with a globe-trotting trendsetter, and a Saturday showcase with an avant-garde up-and-comer. Don’t settle for ordinary nights out – these events are bringing the kind of energy and exclusivity you won’t find anywhere else. Dress to impress, rally your squad, and step beyond the velvet rope. July at SideBar is ready to prove that San Diego’s nightlife can rival any party capital in the world. RSVP, rise up, and let’s make some summer memories!
