Pulse Radio's Epic USA Halloween Preview

Halloween, one of the greatest party weekends of the year, is upon us. The weekend is filled with sexy costumes, bangin’ music, and (way too many) drinks which inevitably is a great recipe for a good time. Being that this holiday is notorious for having “too many options,” the NYC office for Pulse Radio has weeded out the choices and has provided a list of some of the best Halloween parties that the United States has to offer. So whether you live in NYC, Chicago, Austin, Miami, Honolulu, San Diego, or San Francisco – we’ve got you covered!

We also encourage our female readers to remember Mean Girls code when selecting a costume....

“In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” – Cady from Mean Girls

NYC

According to Wikipedia ,Paco Osuna was one of the first DJs to play techno in Ibiza in the late '90s, even though that sounds like a bold call we all know he's a machine. After dropping a mind-blowing set at Electric Zoo Festival this past Labor Day in New York, the big dogs, Verboten, have brought him back for an “Anonymous Halloween” party.

The UK DJ/Producer, Four Tet, is known for pushing the boundaries with his sets while incorporating elements of hip hop, electronica, techno, jazz, house, and folk music in the performance. He recently killed it on The Boiler Room and he'll be tag teaming Jamie XX, the London based DJ and producer who gained recognition as a member of the band, The XX.

Chicago

After crushing it in July, Sander Kleinenberg returns to play for our friends at Spybar just in time for Halloween. The popular underground (literally) club has literally not allowed a weekend to pass without bringing top tiered DJ talent to the windy city for the last decade.

Loco Dice from leading label, Desolat, is taking a night off from his CNTRL college tour with Richie Hawtin, to throw down at The Mid in Chi-town. Joining Dice on the decks will be Dino G, Zebo, Steve Gerard.  Keep it locked on Pulse Radio for a lot more news about this venue and the various amazing parties on the horizon with our new friends at React Presents.
