Hey {{ Name | there }}!
The holidays are creeping in — but this week, NYC is already celebrating in style.
We’ve got open decks if you’re ready to get behind the booth, an industry holiday party to toast the year (or just survive it), and a perfect date night pick if you’re trying to impress someone who loves a good bassline.
Expect fantastic talent across house, disco, techno, and beyond — plus one very special nod to the season:
➡️ A Very House of Yes Hanukkah — serving sparkle, celebration, and the over-the-top energy only HOY can deliver.
Eight nights? More like one big fabulous one.
🚨 I send two emails a week — Tuesday AND Thursday — but sometimes Gmail throws Thursday’s edition in the Promotions tab 🚨
Here’s how to fix it (takes 10 seconds):
