Hey {{ Name | there }}!
This weekend is like a great record bag: undeniable classics up front, and deep cuts all the way to the bottom.
The heavy hitters are out in force, and so are the cozy, intimate underground rooms.
Tonight, Mousse T. takes over Public Records, and it's one for the ages. If you've never seen him play, run, don't walk.
Friday, Moodymann, underground house royalty, is in town for The Do-Over's 20th birthday at 314 Scholes. Enough said.
The same night, Soul In The Horn throws SITH: Secret Rendezvous in a secret Manhattan room with Pete Rock, Just Blaze and Natasha Diggs.
Saturday, Nervous Records turns 35 at Brooklyn Pacha with Louie Vega headlining. If you haven't seen him yet, what are you doing?
And a special shout-out to Saint James Joy at the Playback Street Party in Brooklyn. It's pretty much the last outdoor block party of the season, so soak it up while you can.
Between the legends and the little rooms, there's a dance floor for every version of you this weekend. No judgment, no bro-ey nonsense, just music you can lose yourself in.
All 35 handpicked nights are waiting below. Go find yours.
Thursday November 5th
Mousse T. @ Public Records, on Thu, 5 Nov, 10:30pm–2:30am

The Disco Express x Jean's – Roland & Brother Rich @ Jean's, on Thu, 5 Nov, 10pm–4am
Uplifting house, modern disco, funk and soul all night long, with deep cuts and unreleased edits from a label built on 1970s New York dance floors. An intimate downtown room and the kind of record-nerd selections that have you asking what's playing every ten minutes.
Lounge Sessions – Anthony Romano, Jay Vic, John Michael Di Spirito, Raven Savere @ SILO, on Thu, 5 Nov, 10pm–late
House and tech house from a crew of nightlife veterans trading records in one big rotating b2b. It feels like an industry night thrown open to everyone: loose, friendly and built for dancing.
Nervous Records Speakeasy – Cosmo, Mike Nervous @ Shinsen, on Thu, 5 Nov, 9pm–2am
Classic New York house from one of the city's most storied labels, popping up in a Bowery sushi spot. Sushi, cocktails and deep, soulful grooves make it feel like a secret dinner party slowly losing its composure.
Entangled Opening Night – Niyah West, DJ Queer Shoulders, BLKshine, Ginger Ail @ Qncc, on Thu, 5 Nov, 7pm–12am

Synthicide – Tyrel Williams, Fugitive Artifact, Andi @ Bossa Nova Civic Club, on Thu, 5 Nov, 10pm–4am
Acid and EBM for the heads, dark and driving from the first record to the last. Squelching basslines and hard, industrial-edged rhythms in a dim room full of people who came for exactly this.
Ardio presents – Ardio Zemog, Yurk @ Jupiter Disco, on Thu, 5 Nov, 10pm–2am
Deep, Latin-rooted New York house, all deep cuts and unreleased joints, played with real reverence for the producers behind them. One of the best-sounding rooms in the city, made for heads who dance with their eyes closed.
HunnyBunny + Uma @ Ciao Ciao Disco, on Thu, 5 Nov, 10pm–late
Chicago and New York house with dub and disco running through it, from two selectors who dig deep and keep things warm. A lovely little room with a system that bumps, the kind of night where you come for one drink and stay until close.
Who Let the Chu Out? – Chuwee, Tobias @ Moondog Hifi, on Thu, 5 Nov, 8pm–2am
Deep house, swinging grooves and left-field selections, mostly on vinyl, in a cozy hi-fi bar. Order a cocktail, find your spot and let it drift from warm and hypnotic to properly dancey.
Happy Hour: Sex Over Thirty – Sex Over Thirty, Ah Dek, DJ girlcrush, Kristen London @ Bossa Nova Civic Club, on Thu, 5 Nov, 7pm–10pm
House and club cuts thrown back and forth in a chaotic, everyone-on-the-decks happy hour. Early, rowdy and over by ten, which somehow makes it hit harder.

House to hip hop, funk to soul, dancehall to baile, disco to R&B: eight hours of everything that makes a crowd lose it, from a party that's been getting people down around the world for two decades. With a birthday lineup this stacked, it feels less like a club night and more like a family reunion where everyone can dance.

House of Grooves – Eli Escobar, Sissies of Mercy @ House of Yes, on Fri, 6 Nov, 10pm–3am
Six hours of house and disco, open to close, from one of New York's great all-night storytellers. Phones stay off the dance floor, so the only thing left to do is get in the groove and dance it out.
Rich Medina All Night @ Le Bain, on Fri, 6 Nov, 10pm–4am
Soul, funk, Afrobeat and house woven together by a selector who treats every record like a sermon. A rooftop all-nighter that moves from deep cuts to full-room singalongs without ever losing the groove.

Bebop Porú – Mickey Perez @ Danger Danger, on Fri, 6 Nov, 9pm–4am
House from a consummate crate digger and crowd mover, with all the community energy of a Public Service block party squeezed into a Bushwick cocktail bar. Zebra-print floor, parrot chandeliers, fog and a world-class system, all night long.
GET ON UP – Tommaso Conforti, idktallboy, Eastariq, Chronicles 650 @ Friends and Lovers, on Fri, 6 Nov, 10pm–4am

Dance Paradise – Bendito, David Bulay, Sight Beyond Sound @ Jupiter Disco, on Fri, 6 Nov, 10pm–4am
Soulful and deep house with 90s roots and a little UK garage swing, a night built around the connection between the booth and the floor. Expect the whole room to lock into the same groove and stay there.
DM 4 Address – Suasimodo, Jasmine Li, sznl, Jan Overmeer @ TBA – Bushwick, on Fri, 6 Nov, 9pm–3am

15 Years of Darker Than Wax – Daryl Knows, Dexter Colt, Marco Weibel, AFR, Kross @ West Harlem, on Fri, 6 Nov, 10pm–late
Soulful house, broken beat and future soul grooves from a label crew that's been pushing forward-thinking club music for a decade and a half. An anniversary party uptown that starts warm and head-nodding, then tips over into full-on dancing.

The HiFi at Little Shop of Soil – Toribio, Niyah West, Andi Wall @ Little Shop of Soil, on Sat, 7 Nov, 7pm–12am

Micro Movement #05 – Tim Lucent, Joiah, Jean-Paul, ABS @ Jupiter Disco, on Sat, 7 Nov, 10pm–4am
Deep house, minimal grooves and stripped-back rhythms, the hypnotic, heads-down end of underground dance music. One of the best-sounding rooms in the city, made for slow-burn locking in rather than big drops.
Playback Street Party – Saint James Joy (1pm–3pm) @ Lafayette Ave between Ashland Pl & St. Felix St, on Sat, 7 Nov, 11am–5pm
Joyful, soulful house out on the street, with Double Dutch, food and the whole neighborhood dancing in the daylight. Brooklyn is still outside, and this is the sweetest possible way to ease into the weekend.
Signal x Meoko – Oshana, Andrei Ciubuc, Maksim, Robin, Georgia, CAMILLA @ Signal, on Sat, 7 Nov, 10pm–5am
The deeper end of minimal and house, rolling rominimal grooves that build so slowly you barely notice you've been dancing for hours. Two rooms of hypnotic, after-hours-leaning selections, a heads' night that only gets better the later it gets.
Benji B, Cosmo, Louise Chen, Hidden Spheres, Francis Harris & Tal @ Public Records, on Sat, 7 Nov, 11pm–4am
Broken beat, deep house and jazz-flecked grooves with plenty of left turns, spread across one of the best-sounding venues in the city. A night for real music heads, where every room has its own mood and wandering between them is half the fun.
Tony Humphries' Residency @ Le Bain, on Sat, 7 Nov, 10pm–4am
Garage house and soulful classics in the righteous, gospel-tinged tradition that built the dance floors of New York and New Jersey. A rooftop residency that feels like church, with everyone singing every word.
Bouffant Bouffant All Night Long @ Gabriela, on Sat, 7 Nov, 9pm–3am
Heavy electro and acid with detours all over the genre spectrum, a wild, sweaty all-nighter that shakes you to the core. IYKYK, and if not, this is the night you find out.
Timo Lee + HunnyBunny All Night Long @ Danger Danger, on Sat, 7 Nov, 10pm–4am
House all night from two selectors who dig deep, warm and vinyl-minded with a groove that never sits still. A cocktail bar that turns into a proper little club once the lights drop, and nobody's in a hurry to go home.
PIV Records – Prunk, Kellie Allen, MADVILLA, Armii1n, Jayside, Bea Trinidad @ H0L0, on Sat, 7 Nov, 10pm–late
Tough, groovy house rooted in the New York and Chicago sound, from a label crew with local heavyweights holding down the second room. Two rooms, one shared love of house music, and a dance floor that rewards anyone who sticks around.
Sunday November 8th
Eli Escobar All Night @ Bossa Nova Civic Club, on Sun, 8 Nov, 10pm–4am

Hot For You – Mike Swells @ The Parkside Lounge, on Sun, 8 Nov, 10pm–4am
Disco and house in a backroom made for the family, with one all-night set from a queer underground favorite. Sweaty, intimate and gloriously late, because the best time of day is night.
