MainStage DJ Dances
Here is what you can look forward to at CONvergence 2025!
Thursday
There is no dance on MainStage on Thursday, but you can catch some evening music to dance to in Harmonic CONvergence.
Friday
(times are subject to a little bit of drift depending on how long it takes us to reset the room for dancing)
- 11:30pm: Fenris is known for bringing a blend of topical selections to the musical journey he presents. Long active in the con community in roles as a gamer, costumer, dj, and more, expect music from somebody who feels the force of fandom. The dark side of the force, of course.
- 12:30am: Machinnes is a veteran producer and DJ whose music has been played in cities around the world. Releasing techno and house tracks on labels such as Spirit Noise Records (France), Industrial Echo (Scotland), G-Mafia (Brazil), and more, he combines propulsive beats with melodic sensibilities to get the dancefloor moving and sweating. You can tune in to new releases and DJ mixes at machinnemusic.com
- 01:30am: dv8 has been involved with con dance parties since first doing renegade dj events at Minicon. Always bringing tunes that will test your stamina, he’ll make it tough to leave the dance floor for that much needed water. Remember to hydrate.
- 02:30am: When the hour gets late, we like to mix it up a bit. We’ll either have a special guest in this slot, or turn it over to a tag-team of all our DJs so they can battle it out for the rest of your energy. We don’t really need to sleep this weekend, do we?
Saturday
(times are subject to a little bit of drift depending on how long it takes us to reset the room for dancing)
- 9:00pm: Back due to popular demand, DJ Lorth is bringing you another performance of Kpop! There will be things you have heard, things you haven’t, and some things that make you wonder why you don’t live in Seoul. If you missed out on last year’s set then you won’t want to miss this one!
- 10:30pm: Zenos is a multi-genre music enthusiast and techno producer hailing from Minnesota. Spanning multiple genres from electro-swing and house, to psytrance and future funk, they fully believe music is too good to love just one thing. Their goal is to make you move and provide a cure for the itch you may not have known you had.
- 11:30pm: DJ Death Lily is a Minnesotan Transplant from California, DJing for both clubs and performance events, she utilizes intense 4-track mixing with sample work with heavy techno, dubstep, edm and various other genres! She loves the cave-rave vibes and wants to bring them to you wherever she can!
- 12:30am: noise has been a mainstay of CONvergence since its inception. Favoring the dark and melodic side of hard-hitting music, count on a music journey through science-fiction themes as well as songs you know presented in a new way.
- 1:30am: It’s either time for a special guest or we’re going to get most of our DJs together for an all-out tag team brawl, mixing the best of all the genres heard so far. We like to play late, come dance until sunrise with us!

Things To Keep In Mind
MainStage stays open late to give you a place to get your dance on and burn off some extra energy! While we welcome all, here are a few things to keep in mind that will keep everybody’s experience spaced out and groovy.
- Earplugs are available! The dances can get loud. If you enjoy the atmosphere but are concerned about the volume, please find complimentary earplugs near our main door.
- Hydrate! We promise the air conditioning is turned up as high as it will go. Nevertheless, it can get warm quickly if you dance a lot. MainStage is lucky enough to be one of the places that has a water tap, so you shouldn’t have to go far to quench your thirst. There are also drinking fountains near the escalators. Remember to keep an eye on and re-use your cup if you can.
- Costumes are NOT consent. Make sure to ask before dancing with that awesome Kylo Ren or Leeloo. Remember, some people are more comfortable dancing alone, and that’s okay!
- Please ask before getting on our stage. We have scheduled dancers and performers that will be on stage from time to time and asking people to move around constantly gets awkward for everybody. If nobody is there, feel free to ask us, but please be respectful if the current performer doesn’t want the company.
- Please limit requests. Most of our performers work through the year to prepare their sets for CONvergence. If you don’t like the music right now, remember that most performers play for no longer than an hour and then something different will happen. If you do like the music, make sure you let that performer know!
