Why you should go:
Sinister is a unique Halloween party featuring some of the best DJs headliners as well as an open bar. Project 46 is sitting on a mountain of unreleased tracks while Paris Blohm has had a great summer of strong releases that has lifted his name among the fold. Did I mention that this event is open bar yet? Make sure to book a taxi for this one as this year's Sinister Halloween at Chateau Le Jardin is going to be a wild ride.
