About

We throw shows. Good ones. If you're a fan of hip-hop, electronica or dance music it's likely you've been to one of our shows. We work with venues, business and brands to throw professional, profitable and most importantly fun shows marketed to the college demographic. From artist management, working with professional booking agencies, media sponsorships, the press and any other aspect of throwing a good show, we do it all.

It started with "Kazaam" Saturday nights at Blarney Pub and Grill where Hydrive began bringing in DJs to throw one of the wildest parties to hit the University area. With the success of Kazaam, Hydrive expanded and began bringing in headliners to play at larger venues.  With a team of 15 student promoters attending the largest schools in the Twin Cities, Hydrive has put together or sold out more than 20 events in 7 different venues. Through cutting edge social media and guerrilla marketing, we allow brands to acquire word of mouth with college students, one of the most notoriously difficult demographics to reach.
