There’s a Sunbar Show for Every Version of You This November
The November lineup is stacked with completely different flavors of electronic music, which means there is a very real possibility that your ideal night out depends entirely on what version of yourself showed up that day. Are you a house head who needs a groove? A bass goblin who wants to get absolutely obliterated by a drop? Are you here for emotional vocals, festival-sized melodies, or the kind of night where you realize it is 1:47 AM and you have somehow been dancing for three hours? Sunbar’s November lineup has an answer for each person. So forget personality tests. We are figuring this out in a fun way. You determine your EDM personality, and we will tell you which Sunbar show you belong to.
IF YOU LIVE FOR THE BIG VOCAL MOMENT – HALIENE | 11.06 | Sunbar
You are the person who wants the vocal to hit harder than the drop. HALIENE lives in the world of emotional EDM, powerhouse vocals, huge melodies, and those hands-in-the-air moments that make an entire room feel connected. Her fandom is full of the emotional sad boi and sad girl crowd. The people who know every word, scream the chorus with strangers, and somehow leave the club feeling like they just went through a group therapy session. Catch her there on Friday.
Your rave personality: “I came to dance and accidentally healed something.”
IF YOU ARE THE HOUSE HEAD WITH MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY – COSTA | 11.13 | Sunbar
You like your house music polished, energetic, and built for a night that feels like an occasion. Costa brings a high-energy electronic sound that sits comfortably in the world of house and nightlife, making this one for the crowd that likes a little glamour with their groove. His fans are here to dance, socialize, look good, and probably take at least one photo before disappearing into the crowd.
Your rave personality: “Yes, the outfit was planned around the DJ.”
IF YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE IS A FILTHY DROP – AVELLO | 11.14 | Sunbar
You do not need an emotional buildup. You need bass. AVELLO sits firmly in the bass music world, bringing heavy drops, aggressive sound design, and the kind of low end that makes the room feel physically different when it hits. His fandom is the dedicated bass crowd. The headbangers, rail campers, and people who hear the words “that drop was disgusting” as the highest possible compliment. Heavy hitters won’t want to miss this one.
Your rave personality: “Make it heavier.”
YOU CAN HEAR A TECH HOUSE GROOVE FROM 3 ROOMS AWAY – MARCO STROUS | 11.20 | Sunbar Patio
You are probably the person who notices the percussion before anyone else does. You are also the person who will be halfway through a conversation, hear one ridiculously good bassline coming from the other side of the venue, immediately stop talking, grab your phone, and say…“Let me Shazam this.”
Marco Strous brings tech house energy to the Sunbar Patio, with rolling basslines, punchy drums, and grooves designed to keep the dancefloor moving. His fandom is made up of the house heads who live for the details. The perfectly timed vocal sample. The bassline coming back in. That tiny production switch that somehow makes the entire groove hit differently. You are not just dancing to the song. You are trying to figure out what the song is, where you have heard it before, and whether you can find it on Spotify before the next track starts.
Your rave personality: “Let me Shazam this.”
IF YOU WANT YOUR BASS MUSIC FAST, DARK, & VICIOUS – REAPER | 11.20 | Sunbar
You are not looking for a casual night out, you want something that is going to dig deep into your soul. REAPER brings a darker, harder drum and bass energy to Sunbar, built around rapid drums, heavy bass, and drops that feel like they are chasing you down the hallway. His fandom knows exactly what they signed up for. They are there to move fast, headbang hard, and leave with absolutely no regrets about the state of their neck.
Your rave personality: “If the BPM does not scare me a little, I don’t want it..”
IF YOU THINK DUBSTEP SHOULD COME WITH A WARNING LABEL – CALCIUM | 11.21 | Sunbar
Calcium is for the people who want their bass music to be enormous. His sound lives in dubstep and bass music, with massive low end, sharp sound design, and drops built to make a crowd completely lose it. His fandom is pure basshead territory. Headbanging, rail riding, PLUR, and immediately debating which drop was the nastiest one of the night.
Your rave personality: “That drop was disgusting. Play it again.”
IF YOU WANT YOUR BASS WITH A LITTLE MORE ATMOSPHERE – LUMASI | 11.27 | Sunbar
You love bass music, but you also need a melody to grab you. Lumasi brings a more atmospheric side to bass music, balancing heavy electronic production with melodic moments that give the music room to breathe. His crowd is for the bassheads who want to get lost in the low end without giving up the emotional side of the music.
Your rave personality: “I want bass, but make it ethereally beautiful.”
There is no single way to do a night out. Some nights you want to scream every word of a vocal, some nights you want to disappear into a house groove, and some nights you just want to stand near the speakers and let the bass make decisions for you. November gives you plenty of reasons to keep coming back, and if you are anything like us, there is probably at least one night on this lineup that you were not expecting to care about until you hear that one song. That is what makes the November lineup so much fun. There is a different version of you waiting at every show, and November gives you plenty of excuses to find out which one shows up. So charge your phone, grab your friends, and maybe keep Shazam ready. You never know what you are going to hear.

I found EDM in my early years as a high schooler, with artists like Avicii, Afrojack, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Krewella, and so many others filling my playlists. In 2017, Voodoo Music Festival became my first festival and live music experience, and honestly, I have not stopped since. Since then, I’ve made my way through 20+ music festivals and at least 43 shows that I’ve actually remembered to count, but the numbers have never been the best part. It’s the people I’ve met, the memories made, the unexpected moments, and that feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people who all came to feel something together. I write because I genuinely love this community and the music that brings us together. My hope with every article, review, and story is to capture even a little bit of that feeling and share it with you. I want you to feel the excitement I feel standing in that crowd, hear the details that made a song stick in my heart, and understand just how much I appreciate the artists, fans, and experiences that make this community so special. There is so much magic in this world of music, and I’m just happy I get to be here for it, listen to it, and put some of that love into words.
