Love this!... The Psychology of the Dancefloor by Shelby Lancaster Lets talk about that moment on the dancefloor when the lights hit just right, the bass is bumping into your heartbeat, and you’re smiling at a room full of humans that don’t feel so much like strangers. It’s one of the few places where connection isn’t forced. It’s not just moving around to loud beep bop music, we’re syncing energy. Everyone exhaling at the same time, pulling us out of our heads and into the present moment. It’s why a stranger can give you a smile and that somehow feels deeper than most conversations. Music breaks down the walls we walk around with every day, and the dance floor becomes this weird, beautiful space where you are allowed to be exactly who you are. And that’s honestly what I love most about our scene. It’s never just about the lineups or which genres are trending… It's about us showing up for each other without even realizing we’re doing it. It’s the energy we create together that makes these nights so memorable, and it’s the connection that keeps the culture alive after the lights turn on and we stumble back into reality. So if there’s one thing I want to remind you, it's that we keep showing up for each other. Keep dancing like you belong, because you do! Keep supporting the local artists, the crews, the spaces, and the people who make these moments possible. Every time we step onto a dancefloor, we’re helping build something bigger than ourselves. - Shelby Lancaster

Hello all happy new year! I'm seeking help to throw a couple all ages parties, one on Family day the other easter Monday. I threw both of these parties last year at the downbeat with phenomenal success, we even made the Chek 6 news! We have a hall booked for this round as theres no kiddos at the club any more we just need hands on deck. We are looking to raise funds for a website to get some form of legitimacy to approach city hall in Vic to throw some larger publicly sanctioned events in Beacon hill park or maybe even some place i dont know about yet in a different municipality who is supporting of this type of fun, Victoria can be sleeeeeepy. Please feel free to shoot me a message on here! Have a great weekend

Near and dear my heart... Being invited back to Wicked Woods Music Festival in 2023 after 6 years of intense illness was a dream come true. I really did not think I would DJ again. Coming back into the scene in my 50s with some lingering chronic pain has had its challenges to say the least... I continue to do my best with what I have, the time and energy I have and forge onward. Seeing my old party buddies is the best. These are the friends that I started DJing with in the late 90s. The people who started raving with who've seen me in all my weird and wild ways and still love me anyway. Many of them weren't DJs at the time, but are killing it now. Some making amazing tracks, and many of them now running the stages and curating this wild yet beloved event in The Columbia Valley... Where it all began and where a piece of my heart will always be. Going back every year is like a pilgrimage and I feel incredibly blessed to be a resident DJ of WW once again. Slowly finding my tribe here and feeling the love big time. Let's keep amplifying the good vibes!
