About Us

HIPS (Heartfelt, Intimate and Passionate Selections) is an RnB focused dance party held every 2nd Saturday at The Forum in Columbus, Ohio. We are a collaborative event series that features resident DJs and co-creators NicNacc and Bohno, as well as special guests each month. We pride ourselves on providing people with a safe space to dance and enjoy some of the best DJs in the Midwest and beyond. Born out of a love for R&B, our sound is eclectic, featuring not only new and old RnB hits, but deep cuts, edits/remixes, and many different genres like Amapiano, Baile-funk, House, UKG, and more. Throughout the shows we maintain the intimate and passionate vibe, staying true to the soulful essence of R&B while also making you want to dance. It may be an RnB focused party, but we truly are a multi-genre event. Come expecting to dance, meet like minded people, and have a good time!

We are grateful for the community that has supported HIPS and shaped us into what we are today. We don’t see an end to this any time soon and we can’t wait to see how we will grow and evolve over the coming years. Go checkout the events tab above and follow our Instagram page to stay up to date on everything we do! We are always doing off-shoot events and creating new parties such as LeFreak (disco) and a new multi-genre party called Like Minded (coming soon). kk that’s all!

Be well!

Love you!
