DJ Falcons plays Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida on Jan. 12, 2024.
Global dance music dips its toes into the underworld this Halloween when the Pangea Sound collective returns to Crowbar this fall.

Lat January, the Los Angeles-based party sent DJs Supernova and Falcons to Ybor City for a steamy ass throwing session where they played favela funk sounds married to amapiano, afrobeat and everything in between. The rest of the DJ world has followed suit, with world music nights popping up, so it’ll be interesting to hear how the tastemaking Pangea crew is pushing the envelope.

A full lineup has yet to be announced, but with the crews at Crash Test Joyride and Mischief doing the local promotion, the party should be as wild as the last time.

Tickets to see the Pangea Sound collective play Crowbar in Ybor City on Wednesday, Oct, 30 are still available for $25.
