As this is the second reprisal of Body Language in Relentless Beats history, come join the juggernaut fun of experiencing underground EDM history during this poetic movement-inspired festival.  

Event and Lineup 

More than providing representation only for popular headliners, Body Language identifies as a “boutique festival experience” which seduces ravers with an intimate, yet sophisticated experience while honoring alternative forms of artistic expression in the underground scene. This is the place to stand close to Hugel at the decks but also to introduce yourself to your new underground artist as they jump off stage. 

Because Body Language evolved into its next phase of musical movement with lineup curation, this year welcomes two new stage takeovers presented by State Of Mind and Drumcode at The Mirage Stage alongside Charles D and Natalia Roth. Adding to the mix of stages of sweet rhythm, The Labyrinth Stage invites Eric Prydz, AC Slater, and OMNOM.

Meanwhile at The Abyss Stage, EMA, Christian Braun, and AVITAS are organized to demonstrate the depths of their discography. However, gates and music begin at 2pm and curfew is 11pm. Surprisingly, the only two headliners making a second appearance at Body Language are Dombresky and Walker and Royce. Other taste-breaking artists include Deadmau5, Meduza, Sofi Tukker (DJ set), and many more! Besides the three stages, The Weird and Wonderful Cast curated the new space, Cupid’s Groove featuring RESIDUO, CECE, and Safe Word. 

Take a gander at the full lineup to set your eyes and ears on a performance you’re living (and dying) to see. Single-day passes are available starting at $76, while two-day passes are priced at $150. 

Travel and Hotels

Unfortunately, ticket and hotel packages are unavailable for this event. After landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) and checking into a nearby hotel, a 30-minute uber ride is required to arrive at Phoenix Raceway. Goodyear, Arizona is a neighboring city with plenty of hotels and access to ubers/rideshare. In fact, Goodyear is closer to Phoenix Raceway than Phoenix.

Arriving and exiting the event with a designated driver and vehicle is the best case scenario for transportation as parking is always free; premium parking is available. Plus, Uber rides may become too expensive at 2am or not enough drivers are able to complete your transformation request (speaking from experience).

Relentless Beats offers shuttle packages for roundtrip transportation from Downtown Tempe which is 25 minutes away from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. If absolutely necessary, it can be wise to buy a shuttle pass and request an Ubur transportation from the shuttle stop in Tempe because Tempe is a college town with many Lyft/Ubur drivers ready to bring you home! Single-day and 2-day shuttle passes range from $39-$75. 

What to Wear to Body Language

savormeditation’ new arrivals will always help you style the outfit hiding in your mind’s eye!

After-Parties

Can I get a moment of silence (or blasting basslines) for official Body Language after-parties? As a returning lover of Body Language, the official after-parties truly keep the party pumping as it is the main attraction to dance in all flavors of house and techno for 24+ hours! If you think ending your night at 11pm is too early, the after-parties have your name written all over them because official Relentless Beats after-parties usually end from 3am-6am. 

The lineup for day 1 and day 2 after-parties have not been announced just yet, but entry is currently $25. Secure your full nights of non-stop dancing and buy your passes here before prices increase or sell-out! 

For the last 21 years, thousands of ravers have been flocking to the Pacific Northwest to unite under the Seattle sky for this annual Halloween rave. For the last few years, Freaknight has bounced locations between the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington and the WaMu Theater in downtown Seattle. This year, this ghoulish event is making its way back to the WaMu Theater for a single night of raving with an ultra-stacked lineup.

If you’re looking to spend your Halloween evening with world-renowned acts such as Marshmello, Steve Aoki & Yellow Claw, you’ve come to the right place.

Freaknight proudly boasts three awesome stages, so there’s truly something for everyone. While making your way between stages, the fire dancers will keep you lit and the amusement park rides will bring nostalgic trick-o-treating memories back to life (yes, that’s right.. there are actual indoor RIDES at Freaknight. Previous years have included bumper cars, a carousel and a spinny top. USC Events doesn’t mess around when it comes to entertainment) There’s also tons of carnival themed-games at Freaknight. Try your luck at skeeball or test your strength with the hammer at the High Striker.

Looking to concoct the perfect potion for the perfect night? Begin your quest at the Midway Mayhem Stage. Here is where you’ll find a cauldron of terrifying techno & haunting house beats provided by, Green Velvet, Kendoll and many more.

For your next ingredient, you’ll need to visit the Bass Asylum Stage, where the zombies who have sacrificed their necks rise again to rage. Here you are likely to find bass legends such as: Cookie Monsta b2b Doctor P and Space Jesus.

Finally, the magical main ingredient is located under The Twisted Big Top. This tricked-out stage is where you’ll find some of the biggest acts of the night, like Knife Party, and PNW’s very own, Darrius.

As a Washington Native and Freaknight Veteran, here are some pro tips to maximize your Freaknight Experience:

• Book your hotel NOW - rooms will only sell out and get more expensive
• Public Transportation is your friend! There are buses that run throughout Seattle and can provide a great alternative to Uber if you want to save on cost. I suggest planning your route ahead of time (and, ahem, sober) so you don’t run into any issues on the night of the show
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help - if you, a friend or a stranger is too messed up, PLEASE reach out to the friendly guys and gals walking around in bright orange or yellow tees that say, “Conscious Crew,” These people are your friends and won’t get you in trouble for asking for help - I promise!
• Take care of yourselves! There are free water stations all over the venue and food vendor options. Check out the chicken strips, they’re the best

I’ve had some great memories at Freaknight, one year I broke my leg (before the event) and had to experience everything in a wheelchair. Everyone was so nice and helpful to me as I was trying to adventure through the venue. I met and traded with a lot of ravers and got a new respect for those who are immobilized. In my opinion, Freaknight is truly the best event because everyone goes all out with their Halloween costumes and everyone embodies what it takes to be a part of this community.
