It’s been too long since New York City brought it like this. Two floors, 15,000sqft. and a labyrinth of secret corners and massive delights. Be among the first to explore this outsized playground for the giddy and delirious. Featuring a free bar-b-que, live bands, fresh art, voyeur-video projections, stilt walkers, fireworks and two of the tightest sound-systems this side of the East River.
Featuring selectors that will make you feel the pulse of old and new NYC at it’s finest:
In the room of Kiss: David Hollands [Minimal Wage] : Bends genres, time, and textures with classic dance floor gems and then smoothes you out again with the sweetest new cuts you haven’t yet heard.
Nicodemus [Wonderwheel Recordings / Turntables on the Hudson] : Makes you praise the dance floor with that infamous world funk flavor. You’ve never felt so exotic and so at home.
Swingsett [ISM Records] : Waxes deep and melodic from nujazz and broken beat to deep house and drum n bass as he reminds us what it means to be a true NYC originator.
Scottie B [Dankfunk / Blunted Funk Records] : Drops a classic set of throwback breaks to new school tech house with soul-stirring live vocals by Rhiannon [The Shift / Subatomic Sound System / Sister NYC]
[ Note: All DJ’s in the room of Kiss have been encouraged to dig deep and dust off cuts they rarely play for this very special night of reminiscence. Be prepared for surprises. ]
In the room of Bang:
Wolf + Lamb and DJ Spinoza [BunkerNYC / Beyond Events] present the best in intelligent techno, dark and sultry music makers that will move the crowd far past sunrise.

Friday, July Seventh
You are invited to:
EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY is a group of multi-disciplinary artists and media creators who recognize and are responding to the manifold environmental, social and political crises facing society today. This will be our second public event. EMERGENCY’s members are developing a 40,000 square foot home base in Chelsea, New York, as a laboratory for our projects and ideas. The building will house a biodeisel conversion station, studios, and various projects aimed at instigating dialogue about the challenges we face on a global scale in these times. The build-out of the space will rely heavily upon re-used materials and sustainable technologies, in keeping with the ethos of the project. This event will help to fund that build-out.
Friday, 7/7, we bring to you a fully-fused art and performance landscape of large-scale sculpture, dance, aerial feats, dj’s and deep music from traditions across the globe. Featuring an operatic drum, dance and aerialist spectacle by Akim Funk Buddha and his tribe of body-balancers and aerial performance artists. Bodies and movement will be interwoven with a massive new structural sculpture by Thomas Beale. Also, explore dual village lounges, hidden performances and video projections by TheDanger.
Directly between Independence and Revolution lies Emergency.
