New wave
enthusiasts in Orange County welcomed the grand opening of a new 80’s event in
downtown Santa Ana last Thursday night.
Retrospect is an
emerging 18+ dance event located at Bistro 400. The event was hosted by DJ Mr.
Smith, an OC disc jockey who predominantly spins techno, tech house, and
minimal. Retrospect witnessed a successful grand opening as the venue was packed
with an abundant dance floor.
The grand
opening featured DJ Virtigo, who played an eclectic mix of new wave, funk, and
post punk. The next event takes place January 31 at 400 W. Fourth St., Santa
Ana CA 92701.
