Starting this month, Phantasmagoria will be rotating 3rd Saturdays with a series of other events, covering a wide range of styles and tastes. The first one on the calendar is Bar Mediterraneo, which will focus on the chill, laid back, coastal sounds of the Mediterranean region. Including Southern Europe, The Baltics, North Africa, Anatolia, and The Levant. A true melting pot of cultures and sounds!

Next month, we'll be doing a Synthwave-inspired night. And the following month, will be something completely different!

04/16/2025

Our next event is this Saturday!

03/15/2025

Tonight! We have changed names, to Phantasmagoria, going forward. Sanctumsanctorum was fun, but a little too obscure for most folks.

Upcoming Sanctum Sanctorum themes! As a reminder, this party focuses on dark atmospheric/theatrical themes.

October 19th: Paint It Black - An evening of Proto-Goth classics. 1920's - 1970's. Perfect theme for Halloween! DJing solo for this one, as I already have a full 5+ hour mix ready!

November 16th: Darksynthvania (and The Barbary Ghosts Bday) w/ Guest DJ Impirumcrypt (Interzone) & Boblivion (Turbo Drive)
We're going to be spinning a mix of Castlevania (Dark Baroque/Neo-Classical) inspired Darksynth, Mid-Tempo, EDM, Post-Punk, Deathrock, Chiptune and more.

December 21st: No particular theme, but we will probably be playing a lot of dark, cold, wintery vibes. Didn't want to book a guest or do a big theme this month, as Dec is traditionally pretty dead.

January 18th: Title TBD: But this will be a tribute to the more ethereal side of dark dance music. Still going to be spinning tracks you can groove to of course! W/ very special guest Xander D Jay (Dancing Ghosts, Boy Division)

February 15th: Title TBD: A tribute night to nocturnal waltz music. W/ guest DJ Adrienne Scissorhands (Post-Mortem)
A valentine's special. Dark waltzes all night long! Every song will be in a 3/4 or 6/8 time signature.
