The guestlist is FREE before 10 PM, so lock in your spot now and get ready for an unforgettable week of high-voltage nightlife. SideBar is kicking off July 2025 with four nights of full-throttle parties – expect big beats, over-the-top energy, and an immersive upscale-meets-underground vibe every night in the heart of the Gaslamp.
Wednesday, July 2 – SH8K (San Diego)
San Diego’s mid-week mayhem starts with SH8K, one of the city’s most buzzed-about remix masters. An L.A.-born DJ/producer now repping SD, SH8K has built a reputation as an elite remixer whose bootleg tracks spin in clubs worldwide. He’s lit up venues from Chicago to Austin – even sharing stages with hip-hop heavyweights like YG and Migos – and recently scored a coveted spot with DJcity’s record pool. As co-host of “The Flip” on SiriusXM’s Globalization channel, SH8K stays ahead of the curve on club anthems and keeps his social media followers hooked with fresh edits and high-energy clips.
When SH8K steps into SideBar’s DJ booth, expect an edgy mashup of electronic and open-format sounds – think booming bass, trap-laced drops, and surprise throwback hits woven into his set. His style flips seamlessly from EDM bangers to hip-hop to Latin spice, all delivered with turntablist finesse. With SideBar’s chic atmosphere fueling the night, SH8K will have Wednesday’s crowd hyped like it’s a Saturday. Bottle service will be flowing and the dance floor will be jumping non-stop, turning your mid-week into a high-octane party paradise.
Thursday, July 3 – OTRO & Dom Dysko (SideBar House Party, San Diego)
Thursday night brings a special SideBar House Party event, doubling the talent with OTRO and Dom Dysko igniting the club. OTRO is a rising star in San Diego’s EDM scene who’s all about big-room beats with a Latin-house twist. He recently announced a bold rebrand to “OTRO” and promptly won a Best EDM DJ award in San Diego, even racking up over 100,000 Spotify streams on his debut release – a testament to his sky-high trajectory. Fresh off rocking a packed crowd at Parq Nightclub, OTRO brings an evolving sound that fuses festival-sized EDM drops with a spicy, feel-good vibe. His social media showcases high-energy DJ reels and behind-the-scenes studio clips, so you know he’s ready to deliver the heat live on stage.
On the flip side of this House Party duo is Dom Dysko, a tech-house specialist born and bred in San Diego. As an underground tech house DJ/producer from SD, Dom Dysko has been making waves with his groovy basslines and edgy beats. He’s a regular at local house nights and has rocked dance floors at top clubs like Bloom and Oxford Social Club (one of his personal favorites). In fact, Dom recently celebrated a full-circle moment playing Oxford SD, proving he’s quickly becoming a staple in the city’s nightlife. With his own original tracks buzzing on SoundCloud and a growing local fanbase, Dom Dysko brings the raw warehouse party energy straight into SideBar’s luxe setting.
Together, OTRO and Dom Dysko will transform Thursday into an all-out house party. Expect a barrage of house anthems, Latin-edged bangers, and techy drops that will get everyone in the club moving. They’ll tag-team the decks, feeding off each other’s energy – one moment OTRO is dropping a festival EDM bomb, the next Dom Dysko slides in a dirty tech-house groove. The atmosphere will be carefree and wild: picture confetti flying, VIP booths bouncing, and the whole room singing along to feel-good throwbacks in between dance-floor destroyers. This SideBar House Party will blur the lines between upscale club night and underground rave – edgy, extravagant, and 100% fun.
Friday, July 4 – DJ Five (Las Vegas)
Independence Day at SideBar explodes with the legendary DJ Five headlining Friday night. A Las Vegas heavyweight with 15+ years in the game, DJ Five (real name Jerid Choensookasem) has earned a reputation as one of the top open-format DJs in the country. He joined the elite SKAM Artist roster in 2005 and never looked back, holding down residencies at virtually every major Vegas nightclub you can name. Known for his relentless work ethic and peerless turntable skills, Five’s dynamic personality behind the decks creates a party vibe unlike any other. He’s half of the famed DJ duo FAED (with Eric D-Lux) – a collaboration that’s seen them tour nationwide and drop explosive tag-team sets. From Vegas pool parties to exclusive celebrity events, DJ Five’s mixes have earned shoutouts from icons like Diplo, A-Trak, and Lil Jon, solidifying his status as an industry kingpin.
For July 4th, DJ Five is ready to blow the roof off SideBar. His open-format arsenal means nothing is off-limits – he’ll seamlessly blend hip-hop anthems, Top 40 remixes, EDM festival bangers, and even some patriotic party mash-ups to celebrate the holiday. One minute you might be vibing to a classic West Coast hip-hop track, and the next you’re hands-up to an adrenaline-pumping electro drop. Five’s turntable trickery and scratching will add that extra “wow” factor, keeping the crowd roaring. With sparklers on the bottles and red, white & blue lights flashing, the atmosphere will be through the roof. This Friday is set to be an all-American rager: think VIP bottle service at its finest, anthemic sing-alongs, and a dance floor united under the fireworks of DJ Five’s high-voltage set. Get ready to party like it’s Vegas meets San Diego – DJ Five will make this a July 4th night to remember.
Saturday, July 5 – DJ Kaos (San Diego)
Closing out opening week, SideBar brings out one of its resident superstars: DJ Kaos. A San Diego native turned West Coast powerhouse, Kaos has been dominating dance floors for over a decade with his high-energy, anything-goes style. He’s an open-format phenom known for seamless genre-blending and signature bootleg remixes that even other DJs envy. Kaos’s inimitable talent earned him San Diego’s “Best Open Format DJ” title in 2018, and he holds court at elite venues from Oxford Social Club (SD) to Prysm (Chicago) to wild Las Vegas pool parties. His resume doesn’t stop at local fame – Kaos has taken his sound global, rocking crowds from Asia to Vegas and even spinning at exclusive luxury yacht parties. He’s DJed celebrity-packed events (yes, he’s been the party maestro for bashes hosted by Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner) and has shared stages with world-famous artists like Disclosure and Jason Derulo. When he’s not electrifying clubs, Kaos reaches thousands as host of Sunburn Radio on SiriusXM, spreading his San Diego party flavor across North America. In short, DJ Kaos is a local legend with international clout – the perfect closer for a massive week.
Come Saturday night, expect nothing less than an electrifying upscale frenzy. DJ Kaos will unleash an open-format onslaught of EDM anthems, hip-hop bangers, and surprise throwbacks, all remixed with his edgy twist. His set is a masterclass in keeping the crowd enthralled: he’ll read the room and raise the energy with each track, dropping heavy bass drops into one song and smoothly transitioning to a nostalgic sing-along the next. By midnight, SideBar’s dance floor will be a wild sea of hands in the air. The VIP section will be living its best life, and the entire club will be vibing in unison to Kaos’s explosive mixes. With his international pedigree and hometown hero status, DJ Kaos will have SideBar’s chic crowd raving and reveling deep into the early hours. It’s going to be the ultimate upscale-meets-underground party – the luxury of SideBar’s swanky décor colliding with the raw energy of Kaos’s beats. Saturday is the grand finale, and he’ll make sure the first week of July goes out with a bang.
From mid-week to weekend, SideBar’s opening week lineup sets the tone for a sizzling Summer 2025. Each night offers a unique flavor – SH8K’s remix-heavy electricity, OTRO & Dom Dysko’s house-party chaos, DJ Five’s Vegas-caliber spectacle, and Kaos’s homegrown high-voltage mix. The common thread is SideBar’s signature blend of luxury nightlife and edgy underground energy. So dress to impress, rally your squad, and get ready to dance under the neon lights. With big beats, flowing cocktails, and VIP vibes all around, SideBar is about to make July’s first week an all-out celebration of San Diego nightlife at its finest.
