Schwefelgelb / RUIZ OSC1 / KXAH / The Carry Nation / Jorkes / Sevyn

Sull'esperienza

Rave crusaders Schwefelgelb are back to preach the gospel. The German duo has been active for nearly two decades, but it was with 2017’s “Es Zieht Mich” that they evolved into their current form. Embracing glass-sharp synths and throbbing, bassline-driven grooves, the pair fused their love of industrial and electroclash with a vision of techno as sleek, rugged, and confrontational. The song was a bonafide hit and has become a modern classic. Since then, Schwefelgelb have confirmed their status as one of the best acts in techno today. Their ruthlessly effective dancefloor beaters never spare a flourish of color, always finding a tweak to the formula. RUIZ OSC1’s unique “folkloric groove techno” offers a fascinating counterpoint. The Colombian-born artist pulls the genre far away from its main, Euro-centric lane, weaving in South American motifs and free-flowing percussive cross-rhythms. Last year saw the release of her “Techsturbation” EP on Héctor Oaks’ KOAZ label. The EP goes all-in on full throttle rave, wasting no time in hitting the dancefloor where it hurts. KXAH returns to the room. Self-identified as “married to the bassline,” KXAH’s pared back, grooving sound has been making major waves. She has become an unmissable presence in NYC. The Carry Nation cannot be stopped. The duo of Nita Aviance and Will Automagic stands as one of the key pillars in NY nightlife. Their long-running night of the same name has of course been an indispensable hub for queer techno. But they are perhaps more beloved for their sets, which connect directly to the taproot of house music. Fully entwined with the last quarter century of dance music in NYC, The Carry Nation have lived it. And when you hear them play, you’re living it right there with them. Freeride Millenium-founder Jorkes joins them. The German artist has no compunctions, keeping it real and steamy every time. On releases like 2023’s “Sodomy,” Jorkes goes all-in on the lurid and the liberated. NY’s Sevyn makes plenty of space for stretched-out fluid jazz in her sets. Originally hailing from Washington, DC, Sevyn’s sets are of a piece with rich traditions of immersive Black collective music - from jazz to go-go to house - that blossomed in her hometown. ■ No photos or videos ■ Ticket purchase does not guarantee entrance ■ No phone use on the dancefloor ■ The dance floor is for dancing, not conversation ■ No glowing/flashing clothes or items ■ Respect other people's space, no shuffling ■ Consent is mandatory ■ Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any form of discrimination ■ Take care of each other, alert our staff if somebody isn't feeling well ■ Violating the house rules will result in removal PLEASE REVIEW HOUSE POLICIES AT LINK BELOW
