FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

Trouble & Bass 7 Year: Altern-8, Jesse Rose & Oliver$ (Berlin), Drop The Lime, Star Eyes, AC Slater, Tony Quattro & Doctor Jeep, Dev/Null, Jubilee, DKDS at Sullivan Room [10PM/$20]
If all the parties in NYC were drowning in lava and I could only save 1, it would be Trouble & Bass. For 7 years now, Trouble & Bass built incredible parties AND put out fantastic bass music (since way before bass music was even a term). Ravey-goth-punk-bassline-wotucallit;  to me, T&B is the sound of NYC.

Because 7 is a big year for all occultists, the lineup is naturally over the top – too big for 1 room, so they’re taking over 2! They’re bringing out rave legends Altern-8 from the UK to headline Room 1. Sure, NYC invented house music, but the UK invented raves, and Altern-8 were at the absolute heart of the original movement. Headlining room 2 is Jesse Rose and Oliver$ (you know this tune of his). They’ve only spun NYC once before, in the gallery of LPR 2 years ago, but holy crap I danced holes in my shoes that night. These guys are just simply masters of funky house music.

And naturally, the whole T&B core crew (Star Eyes, Drop the Lime, AC Slater) will be spinning throughout the night, along with homies Jubilee, DKDS and Dev/Null. And our personal faves, Tony Quattro & Doctor Jeep will be going b2b starting right at 10PM so don’t be late!

Special extended sets from Nguzunguzu (3 hours) and J-cush b2b Durban (2 hours) mean that y’all are in for some extra deep and weird ghetto musix. Footwork, juke and ghetto house tend to dominate but you’re also likely to hear jersey club, grime, vogue or whatever you call that hyphy tropical shit that Dubbel Dutch does so well. Lit City is always a bangin party.

An all-day, all-night party celebrating 90s club music from NYC. And holy crap what a lineup! Todd Terry and Frankie Bones are like Watson and Crick to house music’s DNA, while Lenny Dee and Db have been pushing NYC DnB since day 1. I’d guess there’s over 200 years of combined experience behind the decks in this lineup. During the day, the garage door will be open at TBA for open-air vibes, shutting at 9. Guiliani effigies will be provided if you don’t want to bring your own. Price is unclear but RSVP will reduce it.
