Hey {{ Name | there }}!
This week's theme is labels.
Not the kind you wear — the kind that shape a scene. The independent NYC labels putting in the work, building the culture, and this week, showing up on the dance floor.
Thursday night alone tells the whole story.
Outer Heaven Records launches its debut release with the first-ever b2b from Justin Strauss and Tim Sweeney — two NYC legends, one night, plus a secret guest closing set. Archivio Records celebrates five years with an all-night b3b from its founders at Signal.
And if you just want something warm and unpretentious to ease into the weekend, Thursdays are Casual at Unveiled has you covered.
But if the week is already a lot — and honestly, it might be — Tuesday's gentle-noise at Public Records offers something rarer: breath, sound, and 75 minutes to actually reset before you dive back in.
Celebrate the home team.
Lose yourself on the floor.
Or take a breath first.
NYC has you covered either way.
Finally, Skincare That Boosts NAD+ At the Source
For decades, skincare has focused on aesthetic results. But we started by asking a different question: what if instead of trying to preserve our skin's youth, we prioritized optimizing our skin's function? That's how Aramore’s NAD+ skincare was born.
Developed by Harvard & MIT scientists, Aramore is a skincare system based on skin’s performance, not just its appearance. NAD+ production slows down significantly as we age, and this causes all the telltale science of aging.
Aramore is the only skincare formulated to help skin produce NAD+ like much younger skin would. The result? Skin that’s stronger, firmer, and more resilient, that not only looks better, but stays healthier over time.
