From a mid-week local favorite to a weekend headliner flying in from across the country, each night offers a unique high-energy sound that keeps the Gaslamp District rocking. Here’s a preview of the Dec 3–6 lineup that will transform SideBar’s chic lounge into a pulsating party every night.
Wednesday, Dec 3 – NVious (San Diego)
Industry Wednesday kicks off with San Diego’s own NVious (aka Nem Vulovic) behind the decks. A classically trained pianist turned open-format phenom, NVious seamlessly fuses festival-sized EDM anthems with hip-hop bangers, Top 40 hits, and house grooves to keep any crowd moving. He discovered his passion for DJing in 2008 and has been a staple at the city’s top clubs since his 2010 debut. NVious’s versatility and turntable finesse have landed him on stage alongside heavyweights like DJ Khaled, A$AP Ferg, and Future – you may have even heard his guest mixes on Pitbull’s Globalization Radio, broadcasting San Diego’s flavor to a national audience. Expect a high-voltage homecoming as NVious transforms SideBar’s mid-week scene into an all-out dance party. One minute you might be vibing to a throwback jam, the next you’re jumping to an electro-house drop. It’s an upscale mid-week rager to kick off December, with this beloved local hero turning the luxe lounge into his personal playground.
Thursday, Dec 4 – Briley Belice (Headliner) + dHunnid + Jordee (SideBar House Party)
House Party Thursday brings a triple-threat lineup led by headliner Briley Belice, backed by rising stars dHunnid and Jordee. Briley Belice is known for her high-energy house sets and infectious stage presence – she’s guaranteed to get the crowd moving. A local talent on the rise, Briley has been lighting up San Diego clubs with upbeat, feel-good mixes that perfectly balance glamour and energy. Her set is poised to flood the dance floor with uplifting house beats and edgy twists that match SideBar’s luxury-meets-edgy vibe.
On deck to amplify the party are dHunnid and Jordee. dHunnid warms up the night with a gritty urban flair – expect trap-influenced rhythms, bounce-heavy edits, and basslines that rumble SideBar’s luxurious walls. Meanwhile, Jordee adds a creative producer’s touch to the mix. A house DJ/producer and founder of the Never Be Normal label, Jordee isn’t afraid to drop his own remixes alongside club favorites. He’ll infuse the night with melodic house grooves and maybe even a surprise original track, keeping the vibe fresh and unpredictable. Together, this trio guarantees a genre-blending thrill ride that epitomizes SideBar’s high-energy yet polished vibe. House Party Thursday at SideBar means local flavor meets headliner firepower in a night that’s equal parts luxury and wild abandon.
Friday, Dec 5 – DJ E-Rock (Headliner) + Lesteezy
Friday night brings in a special guest from out of town: DJ E-Rock. A West Coast legend, E-Rock launched his career as one of San Francisco’s youngest-ever radio DJs and quickly rose through the ranks of the national nightlife scene. Now based in Las Vegas (where he holds a residency at LIGHT Nightclub), E-Rock has held court at mega-clubs like Omnia, Jewel, and 1OAK. Over his two-decade career, he’s shared stages with superstar artists like John Legend, Ludacris, Ne-Yo, and J. Cole, and even hosts a nationally syndicated mixshow (“Radio Bassment”) featuring heavyweights like Diplo. When DJ E-Rock takes over SideBar’s booth, he’ll unleash a masterclass in open-format DJing. Crowds can expect an explosive mix of hip-hop anthems, Top 40 remixes, and festival-ready EDM bangers – all delivered with Vegas-level energy. One minute you’re belting out a throwback chorus, the next you’re jumping to a bass-dropping remix. E-Rock’s turntable skills and magnetic stage presence are the perfect recipe for a hype-inducing night. He’ll transform SideBar’s elegant lounge into an all-out celebration – don’t be surprised if the dance floor erupts and the crowd is chanting for an encore at 2 AM.
Setting the stage for E-Rock is San Diego’s own Lesteezy, a versatile DJ who’s been making waves in the local scene. Born and raised in Northern California but now a San Diegan, Lesteezy has become a staple at parties around town – from club nights to the popular throwback Hickies & Dry Humps events. He brings an open-format style that seamlessly blends nostalgic 90’s R&B and hip-hop with today’s hits and dancefloor anthems. With his “Les is More” approach to mixing, Lesteezy knows how to read the crowd and set the perfect vibe. By the time he’s warmed up the room with feel-good throwbacks and smooth transitions, the crowd will be primed and ready for E-Rock’s headline set. Expect Lesteezy’s set to be the perfect opening groove – equal parts nostalgia, energy, and West Coast flavor.
Saturday, Dec 6 – Kevin Kon (Orlando)
Closing out the week, Kevin Kon flies in from Orlando to ignite Saturday night. Kevin Kon is a powerhouse DJ and on-air personality who made his name in Florida’s music scene with high-octane sets that blend hip-hop, R&B, EDM, and pop into a nonstop thrill ride. He’s spent years on the radio airwaves (hosting afternoons on Orlando’s Mix 105.1) and has rocked crowds from coast to coast – even headlining a New Year’s Eve bash in San Francisco. With his charismatic stage presence and genre-blending skills, Kevin Kon will have SideBar’s stylish crowd dancing like there’s no tomorrow. Count on feel-good mashups and surprise throwbacks woven into an unbridled party set that embodies SideBar’s upscale-yet-rowdy spirit.
Kevin’s performance is the perfect finale for this lineup – he brings the Orlando heat and a showman’s flair, ensuring the energy stays sky-high until last call. One moment you might hear a slick hip-hop remix, and the next a huge EDM drop will shake the room. It’s all delivered with the confidence of a DJ who lives and breathes the art of crowd control. By the end of the night, SideBar’s dance floor will be at full throttle, and you’ll understand why Kevin Kon is renowned for turning a night out into an unforgettable experience.
SideBar is known for blending luxury and edge in the heart of the Gaslamp, and this first week of December embodies that spirit. Each night offers a different vibe – from open-format mashups to house-heavy beats – but every party promises the same result: a packed dance floor and an absolutely unforgettable nightlife experience. Whether you’re dropping in on Wednesday’s industry night or going big on Saturday, SideBar’s December DJ lineup guarantees four nights of non-stop energy, upscale ambiance, and epic music to kick your holiday season off right.
