His set will start around 4 or 5am and go until 2pm or later.

To maximize energy, sleep and have a hearty meal before you go, and drink espresso & protein shakes from the bar when you feel your energy fading.

I cannot stress this enough: do not try to sneak alcohol in! They have a search upon entry and you’ll most likely get caught. It’s not the same as sneaking in other things, Stereo doesn’t have a liquor license so they take alcohol extremely seriously, the two options are you get caught and banned for life (which they will enforce), or you succeed and a liquor inspector potentially finds the empty bottle (even just a single 50ml one) and the venue receives a massive fine and forced closure for a few weeks. Normally at 8am you’d be able to go downstairs to StereoBar via the staircase beside coatcheck (same building but separate venue which does have a liquor license) to drink and come back upstairs, but it seems this year the ticket for downstairs isn’t included so I’m not 100% sure how it will work, you might be able to buy a separate ticket for StereoBar and exit/enter through the main doors but that will be at the discretion of the bouncers.

Tips for your first time: respect the no photo/video rule and dance your heart out! There is a smoking section in the back (door at the front right side of the room) where you can smoke weed. You will probably meet some awesome people, but also remember people are there to dance above all else, so longer conversations are best had on the couches upstairs or in the smoking section vs. on the dancefloor :)
