⚠️ THE HARDER SPECTRUM: DEMOLITION + DESTRUCTION! ⚠️

The Road to The Grand Revelry 2 reaches its final Saturday night broadcast! After a month of outstanding sets from the likes of DnA and HouseRoKKa vs DriVa, and some absolute DOEFFFFFFF dropped by our founder PSyborg DJ, we are pushing the intensity into the redline for Episode 16.

The Lineup for Saturday, May 23:
