Trying to create a new rave fam

Hey everyone, a long time ago on this subreddit there was a Facebook chat group with like 200-300 people in it and it was super active. Everyone would meet up, throw house parties, go to shows or events together etc.

I’ve found the discord is a bit less organized or streamlined for finding new rave fam and is better for getting info for shows

That being said I was wondering if anyone wanted to create a new rave fam or group or just meet people to vibe and go to shows with.

I’m 32 year old male from NYC btw. If anyone is interested shoot me a chat message on Reddit. If I get enough messages maybe I’ll start a WhatsApp group more focused around meetups when rolling solo and making new friends into the scene.

Thanks everyone!

Tritonal next month

Anyone going to see Tritonal next month at Marquee? Never seen them live before and was wondering if it was worth the trip. Not usually a fan of marquee but figured I’d give it a chance.

Another "where should I start?" post (vibes vs genre)

Howdy y'all! Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

I'm very very new to electronic music (the only time I went to a rave was in the very early 2000s in DC and I don't remember anything about it! Good ole Nation), and it makes it hard to figure out what kinds of events to try. Would love to get your thoughts!

Just for context, I'm a lifelong musician (strings) whose background includes punk, ska, reggae, dancehall, opera and musicals, classic/southern rock, jazz and big band, classical, singer-songwriters, bluegrass, Delta blues, etc. I literally like everything.

So I guess what I'm looking for is an environment that would fit moreso than an artist or genre -- I'm a goofy middle-aged butch lesbo who loves loves loves to dance. I don't really drink but I'm very pro-drugs. I dress like a redneck old punk most of the time. I love meeting new people and making new friends, but am also extremely content to just vibe without talking, and tend to go to events on my own because most of my friends aren't into things like this. Also, big bonus points for decent bathrooms and free water.

Thanks in advance!

How long do shows at SILO last?

Planning to go to SILO on Friday to see Kolter. What time do shows usually end there? And could anyone speculate as to what time he may come on? Trying to figure out whether it's possible to do two different things that night or not. Thanks!

4/21 public records immaculate vibes big speakers

It was my first time there because I've mostly avoided due to this sub. But I'm here to say that this particular Sunday day party in the restaurant was dope. Those speakers are nuts. Even with my earplugs it was loud af. I think they're trying to make the hipsters deaf. Curious to see the rest of the space. Eli Goldstein and Lauren flax killed it.as expected

Gave me a rose at Kerri Chandler

It was very sweet but it always takes me a minute to process things and by the time it occurred to me to talk to you, you were gone. Feel free to DM if you happen to see this :)

Deep house in NYC

Heading to NYC and would love recommendations for venues that play deep/progressive/tech house. For type of house music, I like the Anjunadeep label and like artists like Alex Cruz, Jodi Wisternoff, Nora en Pure, Marsh, Amtrac, Eli & Fur, Yotto, Luttrell, Lane8. I've been to Brooklyn Mirage before and loved it but looking for a smaller more intimate venue but similar type of artists.

For those that are familiar with SF, I'm looking for something similar to Audio for both atmosphere + type of music. Thank you in advance!

Music from Kerri Chandler @ Knockdown Center (04.19.24)

https://reddit.com/link/1cai7lb/video/18rswokcp2wc1/player

Hello! I work on an art project to catalogue and archive music played at NY nightlife events called the Magenta Sound Archive.

I was fortunate enough to watch Kerri Chandler up close on Friday night at the Knockdown Center. Kerri is one of my favorite music selectors - a true oldschool master of the craft - and it's always amazing getting to catch him live when he's in the states. Major props to the incredible people at the Knockdown Center for creating such a beautiful space to see music!

If you're a Kerri fan or were there on Friday, here is everything he played that's available on Spotify.

Kerri Chandler @ KDC 04.19.24: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4GO8f4anLxoGRM48Ni9Bfs?si=ac8f655ff2e2443d

If you want more of his selections, here is a giant playlist I update regularly from his recorded and live sets: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Pzv1cVfuSoo5LWDXHhy9N?si=a3a2b17dc844446f

Enjoy!

Open Decks?? Eris has stopped

Hey all! I'm coming back to NYC for the 2nd time in 12 months from the UK cos I just loved it so much.

Looking to try out my fresh mixing skills, I did find Open Decks BK at Eris  https://www.instagram.com/opendecksbk/ but as of like 2 weeks ago they're looking for a new venue so taking a pause just as I come out to visit :( anyone know of any other spots that do this kinda thing for newbies?? saw about Hell Phone but seems to be like techno only and only random weeks

Love and thanks!

Nia Archives waitlist?

Just wondering if anyone knows why is there a waitlist for Nia Archives on 05/18? Has it really been sold our already? Wouldn’t believe that. Or is it some marketing incentive sort of? 🥴

Cheers

Public Records - yes or no

In the last 2 years since moving to New York I have had some amazing nights out and overall enjoy most house and techno shows I go to in BK.

I frequently see people shitting on Public Records in here which I find interesting. I’d say PR is a spot I’ve seen some exceptional DJ’s and am frequently blown away by the quality of the sound. But, I do understand the crowd can be off some nights and they generally oversell.

Are there other venues consistently booking good talent where the crowd is better? I don’t think I’ll stop going to PR since I live nearby and it’s more of a hike to get to Bushwick for a spontaneous night out.

Edit: The only other spot I’ve had a consistently good night at is Jupiter Disco or House of Yes

MAW

Interested to hear thoughts on Masters at Work show last night. I personally thought the music was fire, the venue selection was cool, and the crowd was fantastic. Everybody was smiling and super friendly. I hardly saw any phones out, and lots of dancing. I wish more nights out were like this.

Asking for space

I usually dance with a little room in front of me so I don’t get squished or squish anyone else. Lately vultures have seen that tiny sliver of space as “room” on the dance floor and filled in to the point where I can barely move. Recently I’ve spoken up more and politely asked “can you give me some space” or “please don’t stand here” and have been met with death glares or just plain ignored. I know these are GA venues but is there a better way to handle this? Or am I just in the wrong. I don’t want to be constantly moving around the venue because people can’t respect personal space

Knockdown Center vs Webster Hall?

Planning on celebrating my bday catching a DJ set with some friends, but one is only 20yrs old. So I have 2 questions:

  1. Will they turn her away at knockdown? (I see it says ages 21+)

  2. Webster hall says ages 19+, so I'm wondering how strict they are about drinking, (bc we'd likely be sharing with the 20yr old)
