In partnership with
Hey {{ Name | there }}!
This week is all about going dancing. Every single night.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Each one has a room full of people who came to have a good time and actually move.
No bro-ey nonsense. No commercial shenanigans.
Just people who love to dance and love to express themselves, with zero judgment.
Nowhere is that clearer than tonight. Rainbow Tutu hosts Taste the Rainbow at Happyfun Hideaway, a genre-agnostic Tuesday kaleidoscope that goes all over the map.
Nobody's there for one specific sound. They came to dance, and that's the whole point.
Wednesday, go a little deeper into disco with, who else, TonyDeepDisco at MAD Radio. And if you just want to dance, dance, dance, Le Bain has you covered with... you guessed it, Dance Dance Dance.
Thursday opens with something special. Input X 1st Generation brings an all-immigrant lineup to SILO, with every dollar going to the Immigrant Defense Project.
Then Sid Vaga and Nickodemus get MAD Radio moving again. After that, go down the list, because every room on Thursday is a good place to get down.
Need to let loose? Shake something off? Just be unapologetically yourself somewhere nobody's watching?
This week, NYC has you more than covered.

Tuesday September 22nd
TASTE THE RAINBOW – Rainbow Tutu @ Happyfun Hideaway, on Tue, 22 Sep, 22:00–03:00
Kaleidoscopic, genre-agnostic dance music with big melodies, vivid vocals and percussion that won't sit still. It's Brooklyn's friendliest party: free snacks, new friends, and a crowd that shows up to actually dance with each other.
Off The Record – YAMACH, VALENTIN @ Public Arts, on Tue, 22 Sep, 23:00–04:00
House and electronica in the Blue Room downstairs at PUBLIC Hotel, part of the Tuesday Baby Tuesday weekly. It's a polished, late-running Lower East Side night for anyone who treats Tuesday like it's Friday.
Open Decks – Ceviché @ SILO, on Tue, 22 Sep, 19:00–02:00
House and techno from the community, in 12-minute bursts on a custom 15,000-watt Danley rig in SILO's front room. It's loose and friendly, and you never know who's playing next — maybe even you.
Charlene @ Animal, on Tue, 22 Sep, 20:00–02:00
Backroom disco from a longtime fixture of Brooklyn's queer nightlife, the kind of selector who plays like the whole room is family. Expect a sweaty, joyful Tuesday that feels like a celebration, with no cover and no judgment.
Nocturna – Secret Grapes, Ani Be, Yochanan, Nico Noir @ Bossa Nova Civic Club, on Tue, 22 Sep, 22:00–04:00
Hypnotic minimal, deep progressive and dubbed-out techno in the low-ceilinged room under the J train. It starts warm and loose, with vinyl-only '90s progressive cuts, then sinks into the darker hours, one long patient build for people who like to get lost.
🔔 Never Miss a Last-Minute Drop 🔔
NYC club culture runs on its own timeline — which means some of the best events only surface 24 hours before they happen, buried in someone's Instagram stories with an RSVP link that disappears in ten minutes.
I catch as much as I can for the newsletter, but when something drops late, Instagram is where I post it first.

Wednesday September 23rd
TonyDeepDisco @ MAD Radio NYC, on Wed, 23 Sep, 17:00–00:00
Deep house and disco in a Williamsburg listening bar built around sound, with warm, groovy selections that start at happy hour and slowly turn into a party. It's the ideal midweek slide from after-work drinks into dancing without planning to.
Out The Bag – Choukroun b2b Monk @ Outer Heaven, on Wed, 23 Sep, 20:00–03:00
An all-vinyl house residency with two selectors trading records all night, now back for a new season. It's a record-nerd kind of night, patient and full of deep cuts, the sort that rewards the people who stay till close.
Dance Dance Dance – DJ Moma, Eli Escobar @ Le Bain, on Wed, 23 Sep, 22:00–late
House, disco and club classics on the Standard's rooftop, a Wednesday night institution that's been getting the Meatpacking District moving for more than a decade. Expect big singalong moments, a dressed-up crowd and skyline views that make midweek feel like a holiday.
Potluck – PSYCHOMOB, LILLA, chicas over rice, dj 5spice, satandoll, DJ Fat Frog @ Jupiter Disco, on Wed, 23 Sep, 19:00–02:00
Club, jungle, juke and footwork all on one plate: fast, bass-heavy and constantly shape-shifting. It's a phones-down room where the energy never settles, for anyone who wants their Wednesday a little faster and weirder.
Open Decks with VHS & Transmute – Ceviché @ SILO, on Wed, 23 Sep, 19:00–02:00
House and techno from whoever signs up, in quick 12-minute sets on SILO's custom 15,000-watt Danley system in the front room. It's part jam session, part talent scout, with co-hosts Village Hidden in Sound and Transmute bringing their crews along.
Thursday September 24th
Input X 1st Generation – LANSUH, SLEEPYLYCHEE, Black Pomade, Bruno Limma, Louis Be, Sasha Rome @ SILO, on Thu, 24 Sep, 21:00–03:00
Techno and garage from an all-immigrant lineup of producers and DJs in SILO's main room, with every dollar going to the Immigrant Defense Project. It's a night of solidarity with serious sound, where showing up to dance is also showing up for your community.
Sid Vaga, Nickodemus @ MAD Radio NYC, on Thu, 24 Sep, 20:00–00:00
House and Afro house on vinyl from two longtime collaborators, with global grooves, deep percussion and a few unreleased gems. It's a warm, rhythmic Thursday in a listening bar that turns into a dance floor.
De Novo – Eric Modz, CatLadyHi b2b Bahng, it's db, Ceviché, Serapher, Miss Hazard @ Dead Letter No. 9, on Thu, 24 Sep, 20:00–01:00
House and electro across two rooms, from a crew whose parties are built for people who don't stand still. There's a late kitchen, strong cocktails and odd little side rooms to wander into between sets, so it feels like an adventure more than a club night.
ROMANCE – Andi, Eli Escobar @ Gabriela, on Thu, 24 Sep, 21:00–03:00
Big emotions, sad bangers and pop with zero shame, mixed with electro in a room where crying on the dance floor is encouraged. It's a sweet, cathartic, phones-down Thursday for anyone who wants to scream-sing and feel everything.
ON TOP by Susanne Bartsch – boyyyish, CHLOE JANE, ANGEL @ Le Bain, on Thu, 24 Sep, 22:00–04:00
Dance music, a live performance and full-look fashion at a party from one of New York's most legendary nightlife hosts. Expect roof, dance floor and jacuzzi chaos with a crowd that treats getting dressed as an art form.
SAUCED RADIO – RICK E, Eddy K, Tim Dauz, Dash @ Le Bain, on Thu, 24 Sep, 18:00–22:00
House, disco and soulful grooves on the rooftop at sunset, from a Brooklyn radio crew tuned to the underground. It's a golden-hour warmup with skyline views, perfect for starting the night early and deciding later where it ends up.
Nervous Records Speakeasy – AQUTIE, Mike Nervous @ Shinsen, on Thu, 24 Sep, 21:00–02:00
A house pop-up hosted by one of New York's most storied dance labels, in a Bowery sushi spot turned speakeasy. It's an intimate, in-the-know night, with sushi and drinks for early arrivals.
High Classics 001 – Cassi-DJ, ALI IRL, boy problem, Peet the Scholar @ Jade, on Thu, 24 Sep, 22:00–03:00
Classic house and squelchy acid at the first night of a new series that treats the dance floor like a history lesson. It's for people who love the records that started it all and want to hear them loud with people who feel the same.
Three nights.
No excuses.
Come as you are and leave it all out there.
See you on the floor 🪩
