Raid Train
MONTHLY · 22 DJs · LIVE ON TWITCH
One set leads to the next. The whole community comes along.
What’s a raid train?
Think of a shared online dance floor that travels from DJ to DJ. A raid train is a coordinated lineup of Twitch livestreams: each DJ plays on their own channel, then uses Twitch’s raid feature to send participating viewers to the next live DJ.
The music keeps moving, you discover another selector, and each community gets a chance to meet the next. You can stay for the handoff, join a later set, or dip in when you have time.
01 · TUNE IN
Find a set
Check the monthly announcement for the lineup, times, and DJ channels. Open the channel that’s live and settle into the music.
02 · FOLLOW THE RAID
Keep the feeling going
At the end of the set, the DJ announces the next stop and starts a raid. Stay for it to travel with the chat to the next live channel.
03 · MAKE A CONNECTION
Meet somebody new
Say hello, listen, dance, and follow DJs whose sets you love. Supporting the next channel is how we grow together.
The monthly HiAF train
Our monthly raid train brings together 22 DJs, including Team HiAF and guest DJs. House music is our home base, and every edition is a chance to share music and welcome more people into the community.
Dates, playing times, and channels are shared in each month’s announcement. Check our socials for the next lineup.
Want to play?
You don’t have to be on Team HiAF to express interest. We welcome other DJs who love the music, appreciate the OG vibe, and want to support the whole train.
DM us your Twitch channel, time zone, usual availability, and a little about the music you play. We’ll talk through upcoming opportunities, the lineup, and the handoff together.
THE NEXT CHAPTER · IN DEVELOPMENT
HiAF Presents: new themes, new communities
We’re exploring themed tribute trains with established labels and DJs, celebrating their music and connecting the communities around it. House stays at our heart, while future editions could introduce neighboring sounds and new musical worlds.
Early plans include tentative approval to explore tributes around VANDIT, Paul van Dyk’s label, and Cosmic Baby. These ideas are still being developed; confirmed themes, dates, and lineups will be announced as they take shape.
We’re stronger together
The train works because everybody contributes: DJs preparing sets, moderators helping with handoffs, listeners welcoming the next channel, and communities showing up for each other. It’s the same shared-effort spirit we bring to our IRL gatherings.
