Sweaty bodies, stellar lineups. What's not to love? Hardcore. Gabber. 180+ BPM. $10, usually cash only, will guarantee you a memorable late night / early morning. The place to be is whatever (probably) Bushwick/Ridgewood location they’ll be throwing their party at next.
It’s getting darker, it’s getting colder, and that sweaty warehouse in a derelict part of town is beckoning. A strong line up of DJs with character paired with a group of friends you love dearly can equal the greatest night of your life.
Small dance floor so not gonna recommend it on a weekend but sound/vibe will be legit for actual dancing. Also in NYC the real dancers — for house at least — tend to follow particular DJs (in the Paradise Garage and Club Shelter traditions) but I am personally out of the loop so you'd best ask the rug cutters in question when you spot them in the wild. Also look into Friends and Lovers in Crown Heights — another spot run by old-school heads.
since you’re in BK it’s probably right around the corner from you! I recommend: 2lanes (Seen him twice), Objekt, Theo Parrish, Byron Yeates, Ron Like Hell (amazing dj), Akua, Or:la, livwutang, Physical Therapy
Don’t know a whole lot about the sport since I’m still a relatively new fan but I’m obsessed. Love to watch dudes scrapping constantly and running back and forth on ice. Also obviously hockey players are hot which has helped me get into it. Additionally, hockey drip is a solid 11/10. My favorite team is the New Jersey Devils and no I’m not from Jersey but I rock (pun intended because they play at the Rock aka the Prudential Center) with it heavy.
Scandinavia in general but I’ve only been to Stockholm so it’s all I can really speak on as of right now. It’s such a beautiful and sort of lonely place. I felt complete peace and solitude one moment but so much energy from knowing I was in the place I’ve been consuming music and culture from for years now and even being surrounded by those people / artists. Need to tap into Oslo next (listen to Fakethias + Elusin and you’ll understand why). I really want to see what’s going on up there in the arctic circle though. Some of the most breathtaking nature ever I could imagine.
