We’ve been linking up with the crew lately, and their energy is unreal! 🔥 If you haven’t been to one of their gigs yet, you’re seriously missing out.

Their last event at The Sound House was pure techno euphoria—Cashuz absolutely shut down the terrace with a relentless 3-hour set before linking up for a surprise B2B with DJ Saban, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Meanwhile, downstairs, Bom Bruise, Pav & Killian Kane delivered industrial-driven, high-energy sets that had ravers moving as one.

This is just the beginning! We’re going to be covering them more in the future, getting to know the DJs, and diving deeper into their plans to shake up the city with more insane events.

As the bass reverberated through The Sound House terrace and Immersiv3’s Cashuz commanded the crowd with relentless beats, the energy only intensified. What started as a solo set quickly evolved into an electrifying back-to-back moment with friend of Immersiv3’s collective crew, DJ Saban, sendin...
