ALL-NIGHT-LONG EVENTS: A DREAM REALIZED


The ALL-Night-Long event, a colossal success with over 10k attendees, materialized as a dream for Hajji. A responsibility-turned-triumph, the event’s sheer magnitude left an everlasting impact. From the nerve-wracking anticipation to the thunderous screams, she recounts the magic of a night where the dancefloor pulsated with shared passion.


“It felt like a dream when the club proposed the idea; I was incredibly nervous. This wasn’t just any club; it was so big, it felt like a city in itself. The main room was impressive, but there were more awesome rooms in the complex that required time to fully explore. I had played there many times before, in each room from the smaller to the main, but always on big line-ups with up to 20 DJs. Being alone for the entire night was a significant responsibility. When we decided to go for it, tickets started selling fast, and the club asked me to suggest names for the second room, and later for yet another room.


I never expected such a massive turnout. Arriving at the club earlier than usual, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The parking lot was fully occupied, with cars even parked outside the club on nearby roads. The location was in an industrial area, so on a Saturday at midni- ght, all these people around were just clubbers. When I entered, the screams from the dancefloor were the loudest I’ve ever heard. Thousands of people were waiting there before the start of the event It gave me goosebumps. I will never forget that feeling. The set was like magic, easy and smooth, and the people were connected like in a brotherhood, all there for the same reason and sharing the same passion.”


"Afterwards, I spent over two days replying to messages on Instagram. Everyone felt the same great connection; it was something magical. I thought this was unique, and that special energy was like a dream, not really expecting it to happen again the next year! I hoped I’d be a little less nervous for the second year. I received feedback that even more people would attend, but I didn’t fully believe it.”


“In the first year, I spent weeks selecting music. The set started with two hours of classic Techno bombs, and the rest increased in speed and pressure to end super hard. This year, my idea was to start hard and end harder, not just to make it a different experience from the last year, but also to push my own boundaries and reward loyal attendants with something new and special.”


“Of course, in the week leading up to the party, ner- ves were rising fast. Despite noticing that tickets were selling quickly, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived. Again, there were so many people, with the parking lot completely packed and cars filling the surrounding streets. It was as if I had never seen the club before; there were long queues at the door, and once inside, it was already fully packed. The first track produced an even bigger scream than the previous year—insane, incredible, pure power.”


“The seven hours unfolded, the club was absolutely packed, not only the dance floor but also the upper floors. It was happening again, and it was much bigger. Until the very last track, everything was packed, people were dancing hard, screaming at every drop, and I could only see happy faces everywhere. It was a dream, once again. I feel so lucky to have experienced this; it was so impressive. After finishing, I just laid down in the DJ booth, exhausted but extremely happy.”
