DARK PLEASURES BALL is your early October excuse to dress feral, decadent, or downright wicked.... and then dance like the night belongs to you. Leather, lace, claws, horns, corsets, fangs… whatever brings your inner creature to life, wear it with pride. The music will pull you in, the dancefloor will welcome you, and the rules are simple: respect boundaries, ask first, and indulge freely. Come for the crowd, stay for the music, and leave only when the night has claimed you. ----------------------------------------------------- 19+, QUEER & KiNK POSiTiVE The Theme is...

Her electronic music journey began in the heart of Canada's underground scene on the West Coast, where she first discovered the raw energy and freedom of performing for crowds. With a deep passion for melodic bass music, Seanja blends unique sounds, weaving emotional melodies with heavy, intricate basslines to create an immersive experience that transcends genre boundaries." :: OKiRO :: "Rooted in the deep, melodic currents of underground bass music, Okiro channels a sound that is both immersive and boundary-pushing. Growing up on the West Coast of Canada, he was shaped by BC’s thriving festival culture, which sparked his passion for music from an early age. Blending sub-heavy dubstep, garage, grime, rap, and R&B, Okiro’s sound is both an ode to the UK’s underground bass scene and a reflection of the more melodic influences of the West Coast. With a keen ear for music and an instinct for the right sound at the right moment, his sets move fluidly across BPMs and styles—always grounded in emotion, depth, and sonic richness." ::TRiiKSTR :: “This creature thrives in the shadows, bending pressure into pleasure. Dark disco pulses, stripped-back tech house cuts, and late-night synths twist into something feral… built for bodies hungry to lose control. Queer, fetish-fueled, forever teasing the edge, they command the floor with mischief and heat. At Dark Pleasures Ball, expect a set that unravels you.” :: SHiBARi SUSPENSiONS BY MOTEVOTiON :: “ Motevotion is an accomplished rigger and aerial rope bondage practitioner: Combining traditional Shibari methods with western rope techniques and aerial tricks to wrap themself and other eager subjects into living art.
