This Saturday you are invited to a night of indelicate diversions to celebrate the thinning of clothes with the coming of spring. This party is one night of refuge for you, the dreamer, who desires a city as wild as it used to be. Discover the promise of New York City in the warm season: the shiver of discovery, the heat of the moment, the short breaths at sunrise as you pull in close and taste the Hard Kiss of Spring.
In the New Lost City our myth is this moment…
This event will take place at the three conjoined lofts at 14th St. and 6th Avenue - a massive space of large rooms and cozy nooks made more expansive by new areas of art and intoxicants that haven’t been seen before. Due to the raising of rents, this will probably be the last event hosted at this space. Enjoy it while you can.
In the room of Roses:
Inflatable sculpture by TheEye presides over soul-shaking sets starting at 9pm with Akim Funk Buddha and Magbana combining West African drumming with Brooklyn hip-hop and body balancing in a four-course music explosion followed by the infamous Hungry March Band fulfilling your fantasy of liquor fueled march band mischief.
After midnight your dj fix is met with new sounds from dj Ayo of Multikulti spinning world beat; the breakbeat genius Wavewhore of Broke Recordings/Electrofly Records/BreaksFM, and deep breaks from Devo vs. Bianca of 3L3tronic.com, with a sunrise trance set from The Eye of Disorient.
In the room of Roots:
Special elixirs and eclectic mixes meet for a spring ritual featuring dj’s $mall Change and Shakey bringing their famous music collections with spontaneous collaborations by Moldover and deep house grooves by the Amazing Jordan. Sebastian Patane Masuelli of the American Watercolor Movement provides the visual backdrop with audio-kinetic video projections on dual screens.
In the New Lost City everything comes easy…
For everyone who has been to an event at this space, you have seen nothing yet. Several new rooms have been cleared out for more intimate acts and indelicate surprise, including the Wanderlust chocolate lounge with hookas and edibles from Miko and Lauren; the secret sedition lounge where Debonair serves green tea infused vodka’s and lychee saketini along with massage and aroma therapy in the living art piece Perspectives by Selena. Discover our other hidden spaces featuring body painting by Digerati, Zen Tarot by Arwen, photography by Kris Graves and acts of spring/fling by Action/Direction.
In the New Lost City the night is endless…
On the wide-open rooftop the Huckleberry Project offers liquor mixed with ice-cream combining our favorite intoxicants to produce the most fun you can have with a spoon. Choose from a half dozen flavors (imagine chocolate gelato mixed with Bailey’s Irish Cream). Along with sculptured wood-work by Thomas Beale and live accordion + vocals from Shawn Neutrino and Theodore Love.
