Halloween week at SideBar San Diego is nothing short of legendary. The Gaslamp’s most stylish boutique nightclub is serving up four nights of themed madness, blending luxury, edge, and high-voltage energy. From industry insiders to costumed angels and devils, Vegas-caliber vibes, and Latin-flavored finales, this is the week you won’t want to miss.
Wednesday, Oct 29 – DJ Kaos (Industry Halloween)
The week begins with DJ Kaos, San Diego’s own nightlife heavyweight. Kaos is known for his anything-goes open-format style – seamlessly weaving EDM, hip-hop, Latin, and throwbacks into a non-stop frenzy. With more than a decade of experience, he’s played everywhere from luxury yacht parties and Las Vegas pool clubs to global stages abroad. Named San Diego’s Best Open-Format DJ, he’s also shared the stage with top names like Jason Derulo and Disclosure.
At SideBar’s Industry Halloween, Kaos will turn a midweek night into an insider’s costume blowout. Expect a mix of creative mashups, bootleg remixes, and surprise drops that will have even the most seasoned industry crowd losing themselves on the dance floor.
Friday, Oct 31 – DJ VTECH (Saints & Sinners)
Halloween night transforms into a Saints & Sinners spectacle with DJ VTECH at the helm. Based in Las Vegas, VTECH has held residencies at powerhouse venues like Tao, Encore Beach Club, and Lavo, sharing the bill with EDM giants and hip-hop royalty. She’s also toured as the official DJ for Jordin Sparks and streams her music globally on SiriusXM.
Her style is versatile and fearless: one moment she’s dropping an EDM banger, the next she’s scratching into a Latin trap anthem or a pop throwback. On Halloween night, she’ll be spinning for a crowd dressed as angels and devils, mixing a little heaven and hell into a dance-floor inferno.
Saturday, Nov 1 – DJ Crooked
The Halloween energy carries into the weekend with a powerhouse set from DJ Crooked. A veteran of Las Vegas nightlife, Crooked has held residencies at XS, Hakkasan, and Omnia, and his podcast has become a go-to for DJs and music lovers worldwide. His reputation: bringing Vegas-level spectacle to any room he enters.
Crooked is a master at reading the room – blending hip-hop anthems, house beats, and clever throwbacks while hyping the crowd like a true MC. At SideBar, you’ll get the best of Vegas nightlife without leaving San Diego: bottle service flowing, LED walls pulsing, and a crowd packed shoulder-to-shoulder until sunrise.
Sunday, Nov 2 – DJ Dynamiq (Día de los Muertos)
Closing the week with cultural flair, SideBar presents Día de los Muertos with DJ Dynamiq. Known as the “Open Format Assassin”, Dynamiq is a San Diego favorite who’s brought his Latin-infused sound to world-class venues from Miami to Las Vegas. His resume includes stadium gigs, international club tours, and recognition as one of the West Coast’s top DJs.
Dynamiq’s sets are pure adrenaline – weaving reggaeton, cumbia, hip-hop, and EDM into a rhythm-heavy ride that electrifies the dance floor. On this night, expect SideBar to embrace vibrant décor inspired by Día de los Muertos, with sugar skulls, marigolds, and calavera face paint blending seamlessly into the upscale-meets-wild SideBar vibe.
