who we are
The 204 is an independent social collective based in Dallas, built around music, culture, and good people. We create experiences that bring people together through thoughtful curation, distinctive spaces, and a shared appreciation for music and community. From intimate gatherings to large-scale parties, venue takeovers, and collaborations, The 204 approaches each event with a focus on atmosphere, programming, and the people in the room. Parties, gatherings, collaborations, and everything in between.
the team
The 204 is led by founders Dylan Claassen and George Wear, combining experience across live events, music, business development, and strategic partnerships.
Dylan Claassen brings years of experience producing and promoting events in Los Angeles, from private gatherings to large-scale independent productions and venue takeovers. As a DJ and music producer, he leads The 204’s programming, talent curation, creative direction, and promotion.
George Wear brings nearly a decade of experience across business operations, sales, and strategic partnerships, alongside experience in live entertainment and event marketing. At The 204, he leads business operations, venue partnerships, financial planning, and event execution.
Together, they founded The 204 to combine creative curation with strong operational execution, building distinctive, music-forward experiences around the artists, spaces, and communities that bring them to life.
