The Best Boiler Room Sets of the Year (2025 Edition)
Boiler Room had another massive year in 2025. What started as a DIY broadcast from a London warehouse has fully cemented itself as a global platform for underground dance music, documenting scenes as they actually exist—sweaty, chaotic, joyful, and unapologetically local. From Tokyo rooftops and São Paulo warehouses to packed dancefloors in Montréal, Lyon, and Dar Es Salaam, Boiler Room continued to capture moments that feel alive rather than curated, giving DJs space to take risks and letting crowds shape the energy in real time. No stage separation, no polished spectacle—just artists surrounded by ravers, feeding off the room and pushing sound systems to their limits. Earlier this year, I put together a first roundup covering the best Boiler Room sets released up to that point. This follow-up picks up where that list left off, highlighting the standout sessions that dropped throughout the rest of 2025 and helped make it such a strong year for the platform.
Interplanetary Criminal | Boiler Room: Montréal
UK garage pressure and rewinds in front of a locked-in Montréal crowd.
Interplanetary Criminal’s Montréal Boiler Room set is pure forward momentum—fast, physical, and rooted in classic UK garage instincts. From the opening minutes, it’s clear this one’s about movement: tight blends, punchy low end, and a crowd that’s fully dialed into every swing and bass hit. The room feels dense and reactive, with that unmistakable Boiler Room energy where the DJ and audience are feeding off each other in real time.
Musically, it leans hard into modern UKG and bass-driven club tracks, balancing nostalgia with a very current edge. The pacing never drags, and nothing feels overplayed—just clean selections, confident transitions, and a sense of restraint that keeps the pressure high without tipping into chaos. It’s a strong example of how garage continues to translate globally when the groove lands in the right room.

horsegiirL | Boiler Room CDMX: horsegiirL
Maximalist club chaos, absurd humor, and full-send dancefloor energy.
horsegiirL’s Boiler Room CDMX set is pure spectacle in the best way—loud, ridiculous, and completely committed. The Mexico City crowd is all in from the jump, matching her exaggerated persona and high-energy selections with nonstop movement and reactions. It feels less like a traditional DJ set and more like a shared release, where irony, joy, and rave abandon collapse into one sweaty moment.
Musically, the set bounces between hard dance, Euro-trash energy, meme-ready edits, and tongue-in-cheek club bangers, but it never feels lazy or throwaway. There’s a real understanding of pacing underneath the chaos, keeping the room lifted without burning out too early. Love it or hate it, this is club music as escapism—unfiltered, unserious, and very aware of how fun it’s supposed to be.

Relentless Singeli energy and Tanzanian street-to-rave dynamism.

From the jump, the energy is kinetic—rapid rhythms, whip-fast MC flows, and an audience that matches every beat with ecstatic movement. This feels less like a DJ set and more like a communal pulse, where every bar and drop is a call-and-response between the DJs and the dancers.
The set’s sonic palette stays true to Singeli’s signature: blazing tempos, choppy vocal edits, pounding kicks and jittery percussive hits that keep the intensity dialed to eleven. But what makes this standout isn’t just the speed; it’s the way Sisso & Maiko pace the set, threading breathless peak moments with rhythmic pockets that let the energy breathe just long enough before the next surge hits.
