On Saturday, April 26, 2025, the DMV was treated to an unforgettable night, courtesy of Event Fanatics and their unmatched catalog of must attend events. The annual Dimensions event, known for delivering unforgettable experiences, exceeded every expectation this year with the DMV debut of breakout dancehall artist NeeQah, live at the Buena Vista Ballroom in Jessup, Maryland.
The stage was set for greatness with a lineup of powerhouse DJs: Sonic 71 featuring the incomparable TJ, the electrifying FreshBreeze, and the dynamic DJ Ablaze. From the first drop to the final beat, the night pulsed with pure musical excellence.
As we walked in the door, DJ Ablaze was masterfully wrapping up his first set, weaving a blend of dancehall vibes that kept the early crowd engaged. His keen ear and ability to curate momentum showcased his craftsmanship and set the tone for the night ahead.
Next up was TJ of Sonic 71. TJ entered the stage like a seasoned gladiator, launching his set with an irresistible wave of soca anthems. The room was instantly electrified — bodies moving, smiles lighting up faces. His precision in selecting feel-good rhythms created an atmosphere of pure euphoria, reminding everyone why Sonic 71 is revered throughout the region. TJ’s ability to command the crowd with infectious energy and seamless transitions made his segment a glowing highlight early in the night.
Following the sonic storm of soca, FreshBreeze took control and elevated the momentum even further. With a natural charisma and a refined ear for what the crowd needed, FreshBreeze orchestrated an experience that had the ladies confidently strutting to the dance floor, answering the call of the music. Their selections were perfectly curated — an intoxicating blend of hits and hidden gems that brought everyone into the moment. FreshBreeze's ability to connect deeply with the crowd made it clear why they are considered one of Baltimore’s premier musical forces today.
Then, the inimitable DJ Ablaze returned to the forefront, unleashing an absolute masterclass in crowd engagement. Opening with Meek Mill’s "Dreams and Nightmares," Ablaze ignited the venue in a collective eruption. When the legendary hook dropped, the entire ballroom transformed into a roaring choir, voices united in raw energy and celebration. Ablaze's instinct for building a set was flawless — each transition was a calculated strike, increasing the energy with surgical precision. As he steered into the apex of his set, he delivered a knockout blow by dropping Jamal’s “Time”, a track that sent shockwaves through the crowd, earning the largest forward of the night for him. The walls themselves seemed to vibrate from the sheer force of the response — a true reflection of Ablaze's exceptional talent and mastery in commanding the crowd.
With the energy at a fever pitch, the moment arrived: NeeQah’s highly anticipated performance. Making her official DMV debut, NeeQah took the stage like a queen stepping into her rightful throne. She held the audience with a natural and undeniable charm — each note she sang was delivered with precision, passion, and undeniable star power. As she ran through a medley of her signature tracks, the crowd was entranced, hanging onto every word, every movement.
NeeQah concluded her set with her anthem, "Gifted," a song celebrating feminine power, grace, and allure with intoxicating pride. The ladies in the building sang along in unison, their voices rising as one to affirm their worth and their blessings. "Gifted" seductively pays homage to the divine beauty and sacred strength of a woman’s essence. The moment was both empowering and electrifying — a shining example of NeeQah’s ability to connect and uplift through her artistry. Her performance solidified her status as an undeniable force on the rise in dancehall.
To close the night on the highest of highs, FreshBreeze returned to seal the night with a spectacular final set. Turning up the energy one last time, FreshBreeze unleashed a flurry of gal tunes, creating a perfect atmosphere of flirtation, celebration, and pure dance floor magic. Their ability to tap into the pulse of the ladies in the room and keep the party’s spirit soaring confirmed what many already know — FreshBreeze stands firmly among Baltimore’s elite selectors.
From start to finish, Dimensions was nothing short of monumental. Every moment contributed to a night that transcended the ordinary and delivered a truly legendary experience.
