CTCEaster Weekend in Downtown SLO was INSANE. No slow nights. No weak rooms. Just non-stop energy across the city. 📍 Carissa — DJ Brotha C had it lit from the jump 📍 The Mark — DJ Promise kept the floor moving all night 📍 The Library — DJ Hovany locked the room in heavy Three different spots. Three different sounds. One city completely outside. The fits were right. The crowds were up. And everywhere you went… it felt like the place to be. If you were there, you already know how it went down. If you weren’t… 😮🔥 yeah… you missed one. 📸 We got the receipts. Tap in, find yourself, tag your people, and relive the weekend. Because when the 805 moves like this— you don’t want to be watching from your phone next time.

CTCLast night at SLO Brew … yeah… they snapped. Vinylistics pulled up with King Pari and Dominator and turned the whole place into a straight energy factory . From the first drop to the last transition, it was nothing but pressure. The crowd locked in. The DJs locked in. The whole room moving like one. This wasn’t just a set — this was a statement. The kind of night that reminds you exactly what the 805 is capable of when the right people touch the stage. And if you thought that was it… nah. 🚗 Next stop: Nipomo — April Biggest car show of the year. If last night was any preview, you’re gonna want to be there early… and stay late. If you missed SLO Brew — don’t miss Nipomo.
