Trance heavyweights Darren Porter and Roman Messer headline this night at Cheapshot, with In The Dark rounding out the lineup. Both Porter and Messer have carved out serious reputations in the uplifting and tech trance scenes, known for building sets that move from hypnotic breakdowns into soaring, euphoric peaks. Having them share a bill in a room as small as Cheapshot's showroom is a rare setup — most nights like this happen in rooms ten times the size.
Cheapshot's discotheque holds only 99 seats, so the sound and energy stay tight and close no matter how big the production behind the music is. Expect a late start and a crowd that's there specifically for the genre, not just a night out — this is the kind of lineup that draws trance fans who follow these DJs' sets and releases closely.
