About Us

Psychosis Events

Our Mission

Our mission is to connect people through electronic music and create memorable live events that strengthen San Diego’s rave community. Founded in San Diego, California, Psychosis Events brings together bass music, house music, emerging DJs, and established artists through club nights, afters, and festival collaborations. We pair immersive sound and visual production with a platform for local talent, bringing festival energy to the local dance floor.

​

Music brings us together. PLUR—Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect—guides how we build our community. We encourage kindness, consent, and care for one another, and welcome people from every background. By working with artists, venues, and festival partners, we create opportunities to discover new music, support the scene, and make lasting connections.

OUR SUCCESS

From the underground to festival ownership. We started in a Barrio Logan art space in 2021 and grew into co-owners and founding partners of ETERNAL NYE in Orlando by our third year. That milestone took Psychosis from local shows to multi-stage festival production.

​

Major artists. Memorable nights. Through our festival work, we have worked with GRiZ, Zeds Dead, Liquid Stranger, Mersiv, RL Grime, CloZee, LSDREAM, Zingara, and Wreckno. Our San Diego show history includes Tape B, Champagne Drip, Jantsen, GorillaT, YDG, and Ruvlo—bringing nationally recognized bass talent to the local scene.

​

Sold-out energy. Our January 2023 Emorfik event with Project Seismic sold out, earning coverage from Dubstep FBI. It is a standout example of what happens when strong talent, independent promoters, and San Diego’s underground community come together.

​

Production with a point of view. Sound, lighting, lasers, visuals, and venue transformation are part of the experience we build. We have grown while keeping opportunities for local artists at the center of our events.

​

Recognized beyond the dance floor. SDVoyager featured Austin Morales and Josh Pickett in February 2026, sharing the story behind our growth, festival ownership, and community.
