Report 1.0: Introducing Pizzageddon This little team of ours are raising the bar the best we can. We got exciting collaborations, take overs, events coming in the next three months. All things takes time, mark you books for June 13th, 2026. Getting to announce all the good things coming.

All the energy. None of the exhaustion. We’re bringing you a showcase designed for a generation that still loves the music but values their sleep cycle. Our journey spans the icons: from the house anthems of Armin van Helden and the trance melodies of Fragma to the underground bass of Chase & Status. We’re honoring the sounds that defined our youth while introducing the modern club tracks resonating with our audience today. Presented by Grown-Ass Pizza Party, this is an homage to the golden era of nightlife. We’re bringing back the soul of Bal en Blanc, the community of Labour of Love, and the deep, immersive atmosphere of Stereo, reimagined for a 7 PM to 10 PM window. Date: Thursday, May 21st (The night before Concept Thursday)

Remember Electric Circus... We're dating ourselves and that's alright, it's an era. The era that had no phones and all the moments filled with dancing. We've been to festivals, we've seen the greats, we're bringing that nostalgic and new sound that resonates with us. Happening May 21st, 2026. This all starts at 7 pm and ends at 10 pm. This is a Concept Thursday x Grown-Ass Pizza Party Debut of: LATE NIGHT DELIVERY, our electronica series. Tickets are all on sale. With dedicated Emcee, Global DJs, and a Performance Showcase.

The rave for the grown-ass people. We grew up on that heat the legendary Ministry of Sound collections, the grit of Chicago House, and the soulful weight of UK Garage. But the club era as we knew it has evolved, and so have we. We still need to feel the room shake. We just don't want to sacrifice our tomorrow for it. Enter: LATE NIGHT DELIVERY. The sister series to our beloved Grown-Ass Pizza Party, this is our ode to Global Electronica. The Pilot: TDESU To set the tone, we’re bringing back a member of the family who truly understands the global map. TDESU has traveled the world’s stages, earning his stripes with a signature sound that eventually caught the ears of the icons at Soulection Radio. He isn't just playing a playlist; he’s curated a journey. On May 21st, he’s bridging the gap between the classics we treasure and the new global heat: House | Global Club | Amsterdam Electronica | Future Beats | Disco & Funk The Agenda: Start Early: Doors at 7 PM too 10 PM Go Hard: 100% energy, elite touring-DJ sets, and those classic singalongs that make a room feel like a community. The best night out in the city, and you still handle your business the next day.

The vibe has shifted, but the pulse remains. There was a time when the best music in the world required a 2 AM timestamp and a lost Friday morning. We grew up the legendary Ministry of Sound collections, the grit of Chicago House, and the soulful weight of UK Garage. The club era as we knew it has evolved, and so have we. Enter: LATE NIGHT DELIVERY (collaboration with @concepthursdays ) The sister series to our beloved Grown-Ass Pizza Party, this is our ode to Global Electronica. A high-energy rave format that respects your alarm clock. The Pilot: TDESU To set the tone, we’re bringing back a member of the family who truly understands the global map.
