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.
