common is as common does
ELECTRONIC MUSIC
April 25th 2026
21 Nicol, Nanaimo
7:30pm–late
We host electronic music shows and dance parties.
Common is a reference to 4/4, common time, the pulse that drives electronic music. On the dance floor we are in common time, and common space. All are welcome.
This week we have lots of original live electronic music!! Techno, House, Breaks and a sweet kiss of ambient as doors open and our night begins.
April 25th has Von Fey, Dark Arps and Sleepy in the room.
At 7:30 doors will open with Von Fey’s deep trip hop, flowing into pulsing techno, followed by Dark Arps’ fully modular set, built live in the room, and we’ll be dancing late as Sleepy finishes off the night with a live mixed set just for us ;)
Come early, stay late.
At Common, we believe that clear policies empower people to come forward when they need help. Every person who walks through our doors deserves to feel safe, respected, and free to be themselves. These policies exist to protect that experience for everyone.
Zero tolerance for bigotry of any kind. This means no harassment, sexism, racism, homophobia, or transphobia, in words, actions, or attitude. Keep things respectful. We are all here for the music and for each other.
Consent is mandatory. This is a universal principle we uphold inside and outside our spaces. You do not touch others without their consent. A person's choice of dress, movement, or self-expression is never an invitation for non-consensual contact. Any form of harassment, leering, unwanted comments, or touching will be addressed immediately. Any violation of this rule will not be tolerated and will result in a lifetime ban from Common events.
Our team is here to support you, do not hesitate to reach out. We take the safety of our staff and patrons very seriously, and we will always act on concerns brought to our attention.
We strongly encourage you to keep your phone out of your hands. Please, no filming on the dance floor. We will record audio for sets so you don't have to. Respect the privacy of the dance floor.
Naloxone, water and first aid are available on site.
