Spag Heddy is coming back to Charlotte, and he's bringing it to a 300-cap room

The Barcelona-based dubstep producer returns for the first time since 2023 with a late-night set at The Rabbit Hole on Saturday, Jan 23.

Ten o'clock on a Saturday in January, three hundred people, and a producer who named himself after a pasta joke. Spag Heddy plays The Rabbit Hole on Saturday, Jan 23, 2027, at 10pm, with PNTHER in support. Tickets are $20 to $30 through See Tickets. The show was announced Oct 26, and it is his first Charlotte date since Oct 26, 2023, when he played the Black Box Theater.

Spag Heddy is the project of Mischa Reining, a Dutch-born producer based in Barcelona, and one of the more recognizable names in heavy bass music. The name really is a joke that stuck. He told EDM Identity back in 2016 that it started as a bit with a friend who went by MC Roni, and he never changed it. The food theme has followed him into his catalog: his 2021 collaboration with Pixel Terror was called "Carbonara."

The jokes stop at the name, though. In that same 2016 interview he laid out what actually drives him, and it is the line worth keeping in mind when you head downstairs at the Rabbit Hole.

"It's about the vibe and what the track does to people on the dance floor. That's what counts the most."

That philosophy has carried him to some big stages over the years. EDM Identity's 2019 conversation with him covered a back-to-back set at Rampage, and their 2021 interview touched on playing EDC Las Vegas, alongside fatherhood and life on tour. He is part of the Monstercat roster, which has been one of the key labels for this kind of music.

Which is what makes the room so interesting. The Rabbit Hole holds 300. For a producer who has played festival stages, a club that size is about as up-close as it gets: no barricade-to-stage distance, no screens to watch instead of the decks, just a low ceiling and a sound system doing the work. For Charlotte's bass crowd, it is the kind of show that people talk about afterwards precisely because it was small.

It has also been a while. More than three years will have passed between the Black Box Theater show and this one, which is a long wait for fans who caught him last time and a first chance for anyone who has come into the scene since.

The details are straightforward. Set times will settle closer to the date, but the night is billed for a 10pm start, so this is a late one; plan your evening around that. PNTHER is on the bill as support. Tickets range from $20 to $30 depending on tier, and with only 300 of them, the cheaper ones are unlikely to last until January.

So mark the date, eat beforehand (pasta, ideally), and get ready for a low-ceilinged, high-volume Saturday night. Spag Heddy has been gone long enough.
