Hey {{ Name | there }}!
A big party weekend does not mean NYC is keeping its dance floor powder dry.
This week has options — and some of them might just rival your Saturday night plans.
Tuesday, STEEN hosts Open Decks at SILO — a rotating session on a 15,000-watt sound system where anyone can sign up and play. The kind of night that reminds you why you got into this music in the first place.
This Wednesday in particular? Don't sleep on it.
The DJs have room to explore and the crowd that shows up actually wants to be there — and this week, the Wednesday lineup is stacked.
And Thursday, Dan Shake comes in from the UK for an all-night run at Public Records. Boogie, disco, house, and a crate so deep four hours feels like forty minutes. If you haven't seen him yet, this is your moment.
No matter what your weekend looks like — this week has something that rivals it.
Tuesday May 19th
HEADCRACK – Lexicon, Gianna G, Dawn Tilson, Fugitive Artifact @ Bossa Nova Civic Club, on Tue, 19 May, 22:00–04:00
One of Brooklyn's most sonically adventurous nights — rare boogie and early Chicago house giving way to electro, jungle, footwork, and mutated bass music, all in one room at Bossa Nova. Come with an open mind and be ready to move in directions you didn't expect.

Techno Yoga – Yaya Flows, Janus Rose @ Trans-Pecos, on Tue, 19 May, 19:00–20:00

One of the most in-demand selectors in the world right now, going all night at Public Records — Dan Shake's sets move through boogie, disco, and house with an effortless groove and the kind of deep crate knowledge that makes four hours feel like forty minutes.
Redirect – Miss Parker, Mos, Peter Madden, Erik Braun, Henry Chow, HNDRNC, skoglund @ Good Room, on Thu, 21 May, 22:00–04:00
Two rooms of house and techno built around one core idea: music first, everything else second. Miss Parker headlines the Good Room with her encyclopedic, vinyl-heavy command of the dance floor, while Henry Chow's raw, tension-driven techno anchors the Bad Room deep into the night.
Sensible Shoe – Michael Cignarale b2b Yinan @ C'mon Everybody, on Thu, 21 May, 22:30–02:00
High-drama house where camp meets the club — sequins under strobes, delightful deviance on the floor, and a b2b built to keep the energy moving from start to finish. Free with RSVP, which is the only sensible thing about this night.
Out Of Office – Harry Rotker, Hovy, MISS PIPS @ SILO, on Thu, 21 May, 22:00–04:00
House and tech house born out of a philosophy — MISS PIPS built Out Of Office around the idea of choosing what makes you feel alive over what's expected of you, and the music reflects exactly that. A free Thursday at SILO, recorded live for an upcoming episode of OOO on Data Transmission Radio.
SMURFO, UMA DJ @ Jupiter Disco, on Thu, 21 May, 22:00–02:00
