Dust Off Your Walkman and Turn Up the Synth — SQUAREROOM is Coming!


Come Saturday, 23 August 2025, Expo AV, in partnership with D’Marquee, is proud to present SQUAREROOM — a bold, immersive throwback to the golden age of the 80s and 90s. This one-night-only experience promises to transport audiences back to the golden era of Singapore’s nightlife. Retro beats ruled the dance floors, neon lights lit up the room, and synchronized moves turned weekend parties into unforgettable rituals. SQUAREROOM captures that spirit — the shared nostalgia, the cultural heartbeat, and the electric freedom of a time when the night truly belonged to the music.


An Immersive Experience Awaits


From the moment guests step into D’Marquee, they’ll be enveloped in a high-impact audiovisual spectacle crafted by Expo AV’s production team. Expect custom-designed retro visuals, laser shows, fog effects, and precision dancefloor lighting designed to hit just right.


The Heartbeat of the Night


Sound will be the heartbeat of the night. Local DJ icons Aldrin Quek and Leonard T will take the stage, serving up a curated journey through classic remixes, deep cuts, and euphoric anthems that defined a generation. Expect everything from synth-pop to old-school R&B, house grooves, and unforgettable hits that’ll have the crowd singing every lyric.


Beyond Nostalgia


But SQUAREROOM goes beyond nostalgia. It’s a reimagining of what immersive event production can look like when experience design and technical innovation come together.


Event Highlights


Highlights include:


  • A costume contest celebrating bold fashion from the era, with prizes awarded for the best-dressed time travelers.

  • The return of the OG retro dancers, iconic in their own right, now leading weekly dance tutorials ahead of the event to prepare guests for stage-worthy moves.

  • A fully transformed space, turning D’Marquee into a time capsule — complete with retro motifs, projection-mapped walls, and kinetic lighting effects programmed to the beat.


A Creative Playground


SQUAREROOM is a creative playground for us,” says Gerard Rodrigues, Expo AV's Managing Director. “It’s a chance to blend nostalgic emotion with technical precision. The result is something people don’t just see — they feel.”


Ticket Information


Tickets are now available, with early bird pricing at $25 (inclusive of one standard drink) and general admission at $30. Capacity is limited, and interest is already building across the event scene and nightlife communities.



A Night to Remember


Whether you lived through the 80s/90s or just wish you had, SQUAREROOM is set to be one of the standout cultural throwback events of this year. It’s a glowing example of what’s possible when event technology meets creative ambition.


The Power of Music and Memories


Music has the unique ability to evoke memories and emotions. At SQUAREROOM, the sounds of the past will resonate with both those who experienced it firsthand and those who are discovering it for the first time. This event is not just about reliving memories; it’s about creating new ones.


Join the Celebration


As the night unfolds, guests will find themselves surrounded by a vibrant community of fellow enthusiasts. The atmosphere will be electric, filled with laughter, dancing, and the joy of shared experiences.


Conclusion
