March 21st, 2026 marked a milestone for HDBNGR RVWR — our first home base vending experience at a rave. The venue was The Crown NYC. The event was Her Takeover, hosted by Trigger Collective & PlurrLabs. And the night? Absolutely unforgettable. Here's the full recap.

The Crown NYC — Her Takeover with Trigger Collective & PlurrLabs

HDBNGR RVWR was invited to attend & vend Her Takeover with Trigger Collective & PlurrLabs on March 21. Let's introduce you to the squad!

Let's Introduce You To PlurrLabs & Trigger Collective

PlurrLabs is a raver-owned collective that empowers DJs, raver-owned businesses, and rave entrepreneurs to connect and foster community through teaching & reinforcing PLURR!

With a scene as vast as New York, we've been waiting for people like Trigger Collective & PlurrLabs to bring us together and demonstrate PLURR.

Trigger Collective is the go to for rave & event innovation on the dancefloor, hosting high-energy ragers in NYC. Their core focus is to give back to the community through music.

Both with strong brand missions and a commitment to preserving the sanctity of dancefloor principles, it was a great honor to be asked to join alongside brands like Dew Drop, Silly Punk, End.Overdose, and NJ Flowmies. Each community banded together and joined us for Her Takeover at The Crown in NYC.

Her Takeover @ The Crown NYC — The Full Event Breakdown

We don't want to say "you had to be there" but... you kinda did though. A big crowd showed out for the event downtown and didn't hold back — the handstands, the dubstep runway turned moshpit, and the overall vibe brought by everyone was unmatched.

As soon as you walked into the event, you were greeted by the kandi bar/station, vendor valley/village, and the responsibility booth sponsored by End Overdose NYC.

What is End.Overdose?

If you don't know, End.Overdose is a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, CA with a core focus of educating people on how to administer Narcan and what to do if you suspect someone is experiencing a drug overdose. Their initiative is to end drug-related overdose deaths through education, medical intervention, and public awareness.

The Headliners

The night kicked off with contest winner DJ.MP.LOVE. She hit the decks and was throwing down a variety of feel-good music, setting a perfect vibe going into the night.

The fully stacked female lineup brought the vibe and energy all around, and the support grew quickly. The dancefloor began to fill and the energy was alive.

STELLA KEY brought a progressive, upbeat vibe to the crowd. The HDBNGR RVWR crew was flowing to her set alongside the owner of Silly Punk Ravewear! She brought out nostalgic hits that were right on point. After Stella Key came Pain.To.Passion.

PAIN.TO.PASSION threw down such a filthy set. The energy went crazy — someone even did a backflip. The NJ Flowmies table was right next to the DJ booth and they were going off too.

The energy was infectious and we were a part of a dubstep runway that quickly turned into a moshpit.

GUTTERGRRL followed and threw down a great set. Her flip of "We Could Be Heroes" was such a good drop.

VYBRIA went next and her set was absolutely amazing! She brought versatility by integrating jungle house, riddim, and dubstep — it was such a great balance, and her energy was absolutely infectious!

INR CHI closed out the night with a great vibe. Her mixing and sound were the perfect end to the evening. She played a perfect blend of music and had us dancing all night. Her mixes of Coldplay and Ne-Yo were my personal favorites!

HDBNGR RVWR & Vending Her Takeover With Rave Mom!

"This is the new chapter of HDBNGR RVWR and it was a really big deal for us to be here amongst rave fam and meeting new New York Rave Family in the same night." — Lexi Williams, Owner of HDBNGR RVWR

This was the opportunity for re-entering the scene and showing my mom the ropes of her first rave. Although she has been with me since the pop-up in Vegas, she never really got a full rave experience. We were able to meet everyone and it was so nice to feel the warmth of everyone involved with the event. I'm so happy that they welcomed my mom as well.

Next to our setup was a rave brand called Silly Punk — a ravewear brand from Seattle, Washington specializing in disrupting the norms of rave fashion and celebrating individual expression. Her eclectic style really makes you look twice.

I was scared to admit it — it was my first time back into a rave — and hearing the lineup throw down was refreshing. It made me feel like, "What have I been missing?" Being able to set up and vibe with the vendors around me and the organizers was a side of raving I'd never experienced before. I've had the brand going on eight years next month, and I keep discovering another reason to stay. It's about getting to know people and fostering real human connections. I felt like I never left, and that we're just getting started!
