Hey {{ Name | there }}!
Well well well — does NYC have a week in store for you.
We’re talking open decks galore, giving you the chance to hear tomorrow’s talent today (live on that cutting edge, gurl).
We’ve got legends behind the decks, dance floors of every flavor, and even a hands-on Intro to Ableton workshop to help you start making your own edits and mashups — because why just dance to the music when you could be making it?
The vibes are high, the options are deep, and the city’s waiting.
