Wednesday, August 13 – DJ DeeFine (Las Vegas)
Industry Wednesday kicks off with a bang as DJ DeeFine jets in from Las Vegas to bring a slice of Sin City glamour back to his old San Diego stomping grounds. A San Diego native who made his name in the Gaslamp scene (including past SideBar residencies), DeeFine has since exploded onto the Vegas circuit as an open-format wizard refusing to be pigeonholed by genre. One moment he’ll drop a house anthem, the next he’s weaving in hip-hop, Latin beats, or a slick ’90s R&B throwback – a versatility that’s taken him to clubs from LA to Manila and even earned him a feature on Pitbull’s Globalization radio on SiriusXM.
When DJ DeeFine steps into SideBar’s booth on Aug 13, expect a mid-week party that feels like a VIP Vegas weekend. He’ll be spinning up a storm of high-energy EDM drops, crowd-favorite mashups, and unexpected throwbacks – all delivered with the swagger and precision of a Vegas nightlife veteran. It’s the perfect recipe to turn a Wednesday night into an all-out celebration under SideBar’s glowing neon lights. Dress to impress, grab a mid-week cocktail, and get ready to dance shoulder-to-shoulder with San Diego’s in-crowd as DeeFine brings that Las Vegas heat back home.
Thursday, August 14 – TBD (Special Guest)
Thursday night keeps the momentum going with a special guest DJ – TBD. SideBar is known for pulling in surprise talent, so this mystery headliner is sure to be worth the wait. Will it be a big-name artist fresh off a festival tour, or a local prodigy making waves? Either way, you can bet they’ll bring serious heat to the dance floor. Stay tuned to SideBar’s social channels for the announcement – and be ready to experience an unexpected, high-voltage set that will have the Thursday crowd buzzing. This secret DJ set promises all the luxury and energy SideBar is famous for, keeping the vibe upscale, unpredictable, and absolutely electric.
Friday, August 15 – DJ Kaos (San Diego)
Come Friday, SideBar amps up the energy with DJ Kaos, one of San Diego’s brightest rising stars and a SideBar resident favorite. Kaos has been igniting SoCal dance floors for over a decade, earning a reputation for high-energy open-format sets, seamless genre-blending, and signature bootleg remixes that even other big-name DJs drop in their sets. This hometown hero’s unmatched work ethic and talent have taken him from local Gaslamp clubs to premier venues in Chicago and Las Vegas – plus international gigs in hotspots like the Philippines and Singapore. If his name sounds familiar, it might be because you’ve caught him on air: DJ Kaos hosts Sunburn Radio on Pitbull’s Globalization SiriusXM channel, where he brings San Diego party vibes to millions of listeners each week.
When DJ Kaos steps into the SideBar booth on Aug 15, expect a masterclass in crowd energy. He’ll be dropping everything from Top 40 mashups and hip-hop anthems to edgy house beats – all with razor-sharp mixing and turntablist flair. With local love and international polish, Kaos knows exactly how to read a room and ramp it into a frenzy. Friday night will explode into an all-out dance floor eruption as Kaos delivers that homegrown San Diego heat with a luxurious twist. The upscale crowd will be moving and vibing into the early morning, proving that a SideBar Friday can rival any Vegas night out. Don’t be surprised to find yourself singing along, popping bottles with your crew, and losing track of time on the dance floor.
Saturday, August 16 – CRG (Austin)
Saturday culminates in a grand finale with CRG, flying in from Austin to close out the weekend with a bang. CRG has dominated Texas’s club scene since 2014, holding down residencies at virtually every top venue in Austin, Houston, and Dallas – even opening for world-famous acts along the way. He’s an open-format powerhouse who can blend hip-hop, EDM, and Latin vibes into one explosive performance engineered to drive any crowd wild. San Diego got a taste of his skills earlier this year, and now he’s back to show why no dance floor can resist his high-octane mixes.
When CRG takes over SideBar on Aug 16, expect a Texas-sized sound with massive drops and seamless genre-hopping that will push the party into overdrive. One moment you’ll be jumping to an EDM banger, and the next you’ll find yourself swaying to a reggaeton or hip-hop rhythm – all woven into a pulse-pounding, crowd-pleasing flow. It’s the ultimate upscale party crescendo under SideBar’s glowing lights and swanky décor. As confetti rains and the final beats hit, the dance floor will be at full frenzy, capping off a week of pure SideBar magic. This grand finale will have San Diego nightlife insiders talking for weeks – and everyone in the building will be part of the legend.
