EDM · House Music · Honolulu · Est. 2025
DJs. Pop-ups. Beach sunsets. Warehouse nights.
Good people. Events worth showing up for.
DJs from all over
the island.
Brandon is the engine. DJ, event producer, and the original vision behind Island Surge. He builds the room, curates the sound, and keeps the mission alive — all while pushing the culture forward.
Igor sets the scene. From decor to the decks, he transforms every space into something worth remembering. The Island Surge aesthetic runs through everything he touches.
Ethan keeps the wheels turning. From sound equipment to behind the decks, he makes sure every event runs smooth from setup to last song. The backbone of every pop-up.
Phil captures the moment. From live video production to behind the decks, he documents and amplifies every event. The visual story of Island Surge runs through him.
Janice is the eye behind the lens. She captures the real moments — the energy, the faces, the feeling of Magic Island in full swing. Every photo on this site has her fingerprints on it.
Pamela runs the strategy. From brand management to marketing, she shapes how Island Surge shows up in the world and keeps the operation growing.
Chantelle is behind the decks and in the mix. Her sets carry the energy that keeps the dance floor moving from first song to last.
Brandon, Ethan, and Igor decide Honolulu deserves something different. A community-first event series rooted in music, movement, and aloha. No cover. No gate.
Island Surge's first ever public performance. Tantalus. The city below, the music above. The moment it became real.
The first Island Surge event. 814 Ilaniwai St. A hint of what was coming — a community that showed up and made it something more than a party.
The second event. Eve Ala Moana. The energy was undeniable. The community was growing. The vision was becoming real.
Island Surge starts connecting with other EDM collectives across the island. The network expands. The scene gets bigger.
Every two weeks. Same location. Different energy. Magic Island became the anchor — the place where the Island Surge community gathered, grew, and belonged.
Island Surge on a bigger stage. A celebration of Honolulu's creative community — music, culture, and the people who make this city what it is.
A collab that proves the network is real. Island Surge and Side Quests together — two collectives, one night, Oʻahu.
Year one, celebrated the only way we know how. Magic Island. The whole community. Free. Open. Ours.
Ala Moana Beach Park's peninsula. Diamond Head in the background. The Pacific stretching out forever. There is no better stage on earth. We didn't choose Magic Island — Magic Island chose us.
