Wednesday, August 6 – NVious (San Diego)
San Diego’s own NVious (aka Nem Vulovic) is kicking off August with a homegrown bang. A classically trained pianist turned open-format phenom, NVious effortlessly blends EDM festival anthems with hip-hop bangers, Top 40 hits, and house grooves to keep any dance floor packed. He found his passion for DJing back in 2008 and has been a staple in San Diego’s top clubs since debuting here in 2010. NVious’s versatility and turntable finesse have even landed him alongside heavyweights like DJ Khaled, A$AP Ferg, and Future on stage. You might have caught his guest mixes on Pitbull’s Globalization Radio (SiriusXM), where he regularly drops fire remixes heard nationwide. Expect NVious to bring undeniable local pride and high-voltage energy as he transforms SideBar’s luxurious lounge into an all-out mid-week dance party.
Thursday, August 7 – Azarelle (San Diego)
Prepare for a seductive house music takeover as Azarelle hits the SideBar booth on Thursday. Azarelle is a rising San Diego DJ known for her intoxicating blend of house, deep house, and tech-house beats. As a resident DJ for some of SD’s hottest parties (including Hard Rock’s famed Float rooftop pool club), she’s proven she can groove both chic daytime poolside crowds and late-night club revelers. In fact, she recently spun at Hard Rock’s “Liquid Sunshine” season kickoff, layering downtempo poolside grooves with fresh, sun-kissed vibes. Azarelle’s “house cat life” persona (as she affectionately calls it) shines through in her sets – playful yet edgy, always ready to pounce with a bassline that gets the whole room moving. With a growing social media following and a reputation for high-fashion style behind the decks, Azarelle brings a fierce female energy to SideBar’s luxe, neon-splashed atmosphere. Expect her to serve up sexy vocals, pulsing tech beats, and feel-good remixes that will have the Thursday night crowd in full-on dance mode.
Friday, August 8 – Obscene (Miami)
By Friday, SideBar ups the ante with DJ Obscene jetting in to deliver a truly world-class set. A Miami native, Obscene (Jonathan Garcia) is an open-format powerhouse who has literally toured the globe – spinning in 70+ cities across 10 countries – and can command crowds of 20,000 with ease. He cut his teeth in the industry by helping launch the careers of Pitbull, Flo Rida, and Rick Ross back in the 2000s, and today he’s renowned for bridging musical genres to give any audience exactly what it wants. Obscene’s resume is as glamorous as it gets: he’s remixed hits for Janet Jackson, Diplo, and Nicky Jam, and shared stages with superstars like Calvin Harris and Steve Aoki at some of the nation’s biggest clubs. He currently holds residencies at Miami’s elite clubs E11EVEN and DAER, with regular high-profile gigs from Vegas to Chicago. When Obscene steps into SideBar’s DJ booth, expect an onslaught of expertly curated tracks – from electro-house drops to hip-hop throwbacks – all woven into a high-energy, seamless mix. With his unmatched ability to read the room and hype up VIPs and dancefloor die-hards alike, DJ Obscene will turn SideBar’s elegant lounge into a Friday night frenzy. This is the kind of headline set that will have San Diego nightlife insiders buzzing for weeks.
Saturday, August 9 – Shadowman (San Diego)
Closing out the weekend in style is DJ Shadowman, one of San Diego’s most versatile and dynamic party-starters. An original member of the city’s renowned Roster DJs collective, Shadowman has built a name both as a club scene staple and a trendsetter on the airwaves. You’ve probably vibed to his open-format sets at local hotspots like Oxford Social Club, Parq, or the Hard Rock’s Sunburn Pool Party – he knows how to ignite any crowd, any night. Shadowman’s secret weapon is his read-the-room philosophy: “no two venues or crowds are the same,” he notes, a mindset that’s powered showstopping gigs from New York and Chicago to San Francisco and even SXSW in Austin. Beyond the club, he’s the co-host of The Flip on Pitbull’s Globalization Radio, a SiriusXM show he launched in 2019 to spotlight new remixes and rising talent. (Talk about supporting the DJ community!) Whether he’s dropping an eclectic mix of throwback jams and remixes over the SideBar sound system or broadcasting to thousands of listeners on the radio, Shadowman brings top-tier technique and infectious energy to every beat. This Saturday, expect him to pull out all the stops – from unexpected mashups to big-room bangers – keeping the crowd raging under SideBar’s sultry lighting and electric vibe till last call. It’s the ultimate finale to a week of high-voltage August nights at San Diego’s hottest luxury nightclub.
