The end of October is especially eventful in the Remezcla office because we have not one, but TWO skull-filled, death-themed reasons to celebrate: Halloween and Dia de Muertos. We want you to have a bloody good time, so we’ve rounded up the best monster mashes, concerts, pop-up raves and more to check out this year. (And don’t forget our favorite Halloween activity of all – waking up early the next day to watch the best Walks of Shame you’ll see all year…)
Musa Mind from Remezcla’s Cultura Dura event this year is throwing a Halloween bash withJoseph Mercado, Ms. Avery, and more at Apollos on Halloween night. The Phoenix team will be spinning house, edm, and throwbacks, as well as hosting a $100 cash prize costume contest. More info here.
This Halloween, travel out to Downtown Tempe for one of the biggest costumed gatherings in all of Arizona. Costumes and fake blood will line the streets. Expect many of those in attendance to be undead and scantily clad as they are lured to the epicenter of the party by a truly stimulating Halloween spectacle at Casa Sunba. Come dressed in the craziest neon costume you can come up with and enjoy 2 indoor/outdoor spaces pumping EDM jams all night. More info here.
DJ Babyo presents Saddle Horn Bar’s biggest Dia de Muertos party in Phoenix. Expect latin jams and to get drunk really fast because they have a crazy selection of drink specials for this night. Plus, its free to attend. (Sidenote: Saddle Horn Bar is supposedly haunted, so this may be the best/worst time to come out and go drunkly ghost hunting.) More info here.
SWEET DREAMS! Cult Classics & Zia Records present a special one night only 30th anniversary screening of Wes Craven’s 1984 horror classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street. As part of their 3rd annual CINE DE LOS MUERTOS movie event on November 1st, they’ll also have great giveaways like commemorative prints and shirts. More info here.
Dance like the dead on Saturday, November 1st to honor Dia De Los Muertos at Tongue Tied! Celebrate All Souls on TWO dance floors — Resident DJs Roya and Funkfinger will start the fiesta with indie, 80s and 90s on the main floor. The Motown On Mondays Phoenix (including DJ Tricky T!) will be taking over the patio at Apollo’s lounge, spinning the best in Motown, funk and soul music — dead or alive. It’s free before 9:30 PM and only $5 afterwards. More info here.
The Chainsmokers and Waka Flocka Flame are coming to the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix. While this isn’t completely Dia De Muertos related, its whatever, they can take it there real quick. Tickets start at $47. More info here.
