When ISHI throws down, it’s part concert, part ceremony, all energy.

This past Saturday, at a secret location just off the beaten Deep Ellum path, ISHI didn’t just perform—he transformed. The night blurred lines between rave and ritual, stage show and soul shift. This wasn’t your average party. This was a full-on sonic awakening.
A VIBE-LED LINEUP
The night kicked off with a headlining set from ISHI himself—equal parts performance art and pulse-pounding emotion. There were costume changes. Ghost dancers swirling through the fog. Live vocals hitting deep. Every beat synced with the crowd like a shared heartbeat.
Willie Dutch kept the room hot and glowing, turning the lights into movement and the movement into release. He delivered a set that brought funk back into the spotlight with swagger and soul.
Demarkus Lewis followed up with a proper schooling in classic Chicago house—deep, driving, and unapologetically dancefloor-focused.
Then, when most parties would’ve ended, House of Freqs took the controls and sent the crowd through it. High energy. Deep grooves. The kind of closing set that left no bodies still and no vibes untouched.
This Wasn’t Just a Show…
it was a moment.
From the sound design to the secret location, every detail was curated to unlock something bigger than the music. You could feel it in the crowd—artists, dancers, misfits, and music lovers all caught in the same current.
By sunrise, no one wanted to leave. And honestly? That’s how you know it was one for the books.
Shoutout to our friends at Painted Donkey Tequila, Townes Vodka & Community Beer Co for keeping everyone’s thirst quenched and the vibe flowing all night long.
Dallas doesn’t always show up like this. But when it does? It shows out.
And ISHI gave us a night we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
