Their tracks, so powerful they could stir the spirits, promise a celebration of the night like no other.
But Descent offers more than just its spellbinding music.

And let’s not overlook that the night is dedicated to celebrating DJ Surreal’s birthday. Whispers in the dark hint at a night where the decks will be bewitched and the beats will be more captivating than ever, as DJ Surreal, the night’s enchantress, weaves the soundtrack of her own celebration. Anticipate surprises, special performances, and a cake that mirrors the darkness of our humor.
