Party Train: Popular DJ performed at secret rave on a Metro Vancouver SkyTrain
Most people would probably try to avoid a crowded train if they could, but people willingly boarded one to party at Vancouver’s “first ever” rave on the SkyTrain.
The party kicked off on Friday at a secret location with BC’s very own Juno Award-winning DJ Felix Cartal. The day before, he posted a cryptic video on Instagram with the caption, “Text TRAIN to the number if youāre in Vancouver and wanna roll.”
“Yo, if you live in Vancouver, we’re gonna try a pop-up tonight,” he said. “So it’s gonna be a little bit different. If you want the starting location and time, text this number, and we’ll send it a few hours before.”

It looks like several partygoers with a sense of adventure had texted the number to find out about the party’s mystery location because the following day, Felix Cartal posted a video of the event on Instagram. In the short clip, he can be seen manning the deck as he’s surrounded by people dancing in a crowded and dimly lit train.
“Canāt believe we did that Vancouver. no words. thank you šš» ā¤ļøš,” he stated in the caption.

One user stated, “I knew someone who was there: they said they [met] at 9 pm at a specific station (I canāt recall which one) and rode it down to Waterfront.”
Another stated that the starting point was at New Westminster station.
One commenter said that TransLink wasn’t aware of the event on the SkyTrain until a few hours before it started.
Daily Hive reached out to TransLink, and in an email, a representative stated, “We are aware that loud music was played on a SkyTrain last night. While this event did not cause any service disruptions, TransLink discourages such events on the system as it may cause discomfort to other passengers.”
Felix Cartal is currently on tour with upcoming stops in Las Vegas, Montreal, San Diego, Vancouver, Buffalo, and Minneapolis.
