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 — when retro beats ruled the dance floors, neon lights lit up the room, and synchronized moves turned weekend parties into unforgettable rituals. Neon lights lit up the dance floor, synchronised hand moves were a language of their own, and the crowd moved as one to the beat of euphoric 80s and 90s anthems. 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.
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 — featuring custom-designed retro visuals, laser shows, fog effects, and precision dancefloor lighting designed to hit just right.
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.
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.
Highlights include:
A costume contest celebrating bold fashion from the era (prizes awarded for the best-dressed time travellers).
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.
“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.”
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.
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 — and a glowing example of what’s possible when event technology meets creative ambition.
