HARD CAN­DY

HARD CANDY (18+) is a high-velocity celebration of “Happy Trance”—a genre-bending fusion of 90s Eurodance nostalgia, shimmering acid, and bouncy techno ��. Drawing inspiration from new-wave icons like Marlon Hoffstadt, Malugi, and KI/KI, this night is precision-engineered for maximum dopamine and unapologetic queer joy ⚡️�.
