Soirée d’Amour brought the underground EDM scene to Misfitz in Pocatello, Idaho on February 14. The Valentine’s Day event, presented by Atlantic Progression and hosted by The Idahoan, brought together a diverse lineup of DJs and supporters from across Southeast Idaho.
The night featured progressive house, techno, breaks, drum and bass, and electronica, reflecting the multi-genre nature of the East Idaho EDM community.
The event also served as another step in growing the underground dance music scene in Idaho.
The Soirée d’Amour DJ Lineup
The night featured four DJs from across the region:
- N.S.Z. (Idaho Falls) – Opening set
- Uncle KNNY (Blackfoot)
- Pablo (Idaho Falls)
- The Idahoan (Idaho Falls) – Closing set
Each DJ performed a 90-minute set, beginning at 8:00 PM and continuing until 2:00 AM.
The lineup intentionally blended different styles of underground electronic music to represent multiple corners of the local scene.
Opening the Night with Progressive House
N.S.Z. opened the event with a progressive house set that quickly established the tone for the night. His set resonated strongly with attendees who favor melodic house and progressive styles.
The early portion of the show leaned heavily toward house music, giving the early crowd a focused musical experience before the night expanded into other genres.
A Multi-Genre Underground EDM Show
As the night progressed, the music expanded into a wider range of styles.
Uncle KNNY followed the opener with a set that moved through house, techno, breaks, and drum and bass. His performance brought strong energy to the dance floor and drew enthusiastic support from friends and supporters who traveled from Pocatello and Blackfoot.
Pablo then took over with a genre-blending set featuring drum and bass, breaks, techno, and other electronic styles. His performance carried the peak portion of the night and kept the dance floor active.
The event closed with a progressive house set from The Idahoan, bringing the night back to the melodic and progressive roots that continue to influence Atlantic Progression’s direction.
VIP Valentine’s Packages
The event also offered VIP Valentine’s packages, which included:
- A bottle of champagne
- A box of chocolates
- Candy wristbands
- Two disposable champagne glasses
- Two tickets to the event
Nine packages were sold prior to the show, and one was given away during the night.
Additional decorations for the event were donated by a supporter, helping create the Valentine’s atmosphere inside the venue.
Community Support from Across Southeast Idaho
Supporters traveled from multiple cities to attend the event.
The crowd included attendees from:
- Pocatello

The turnout made Soirée d’Amour one of the strongest nights in Pocatello for Atlantic Progression events to date.
While the dance floor fluctuated throughout the night, the venue maintained a consistent social atmosphere with people gathering, connecting, and enjoying the music.
Misfitz: A Growing Venue for Underground EDM
A major part of the event’s success came from the support of Sarah, the owner of Misfitz. The venue has become a welcoming space for underground electronic music events in Pocatello.
Atlantic Progression plans to continue working with Misfitz on future shows as the East Idaho EDM scene continues to grow.
