HALLOWEEN! One of the greatest holidays there is. No familial obligations, awkward small talk with relatives while desperately trying to pretend you’re not drunk, or gifts to buy, plus the costumes; oooooh man the costumes! One of the best parts of it is that the dress up aspect urges promoters to bring out their best and brightest, and BC definitely delivered. From the weird, to the upbeat, to everything in between, we have your Halloweekend covered!
1. Bling Out Your Dead feat ILL PHIL (UK) + Average Gypsy (VAN) and Jennay Badger
Reliable Entertainment is a name synonymous with the absolute MOST. The most unique artists, many of them for their first time through our city (this event is an example of that!), and the production matches the high calibre of artists to create an experience one has to be there to believe. This time around they’re offering prizes for the most blinged out costume and of course, those sexy beats we all need!
Ill Phil is a master, an OG of the bass house scene before it was a scene, with roots landing in garage. Average Gypsy is a touring act out of Vancouver who totally destroyed their last Victoria appearance. Warming the night up is hometown hero and fast rising star Jennay Badger, who’s soulful house grooves and whatever else this firecracker chooses to play will set the tone for the best night ever!
