Description

This weekend, as the veil thins, we gather in the shadows with some of the spookiest selectors and performers the dance music underground has to offer. Friday night, Solofan initiates the descent with his signature genre-collapsing approach to club music, with spectral textures and fractured rhythms concocting an irresistably freaky potion. Next up, two Nowadays residents, MORENXXX and SHYBOI, come together for a b2b. Both artists are known for their experimental approaches to peak rave: expect deconstructed bass, percussive fury, and unrelenting energy. At 3:45 am, we’re graced with a performance by trans-disciplinary caretaker, maker, and nightdancer Lysis "Possession Doll" (Ley), whose movement practice will open new portals through the dancefloor. Multidisciplinary artist and true CDJ sorceress Juliana Huxtable takes it into the morning with a summoning as intellectual as it is instinctual. As day breaks, the creatures of the night refuse to surface as the ritual continues. Munich legend DJ Hell returns to Nowadays to deliver a blend of dark electro, sinister acid, and EBM-tinged menace. Though his approach is dark and experimental, it’s balanced by moments of optimistic groove and romantic allure. NYC’s Saia is a dancefloor staple with an increasingly busy DJ schedule. Recently, they kicked off their Diva Diva party at Public Records. Nowadays resident and Sustain-Release founder Aurora Halal takes over next, stirring the cauldron with signature psychedelia, an approach to techno elevated by hazy atmosphere and moody melodies. As the suns sets, Japan’s Takaaki Itoh makes his Nowadays debut with a masterclass in trippy techno, a true storyteller as likely to veer into heavy industrial as deep and dreamy reprieve. Now becoming a Nowadays Halloween tradition, Ron Like Hell opens the gates on Saturday night. A beloved staple of the New York scene and one of the founders of Wrecked, Ron digs into their deep library for a spooky and cerebral summoning. There’s no better DJ for a gothic soirée than Seattle’s Sharlese, whose musical vocabulary is vast but dark, spanning electro, EBM, techno, and beyond. A longtime radio DJ with a deep knowledge of music, Sharlese has also become a regular in New York, Berlin, and beyond. Uruguay-born, Barcelona based Z@p takes it deeper into the witching hours. With releases on Binh’s Time Passages and Cabaret Recordings (founded by DJ Masda and So Inagawa), Z@p’s approach to techno and electro is driving, groovy, and hypnotic. As we move deep into the Sunday morning mist, Pearled Records boss Max Sprauer and partner in crime Shvili make their Nowadays debut. They’re both experts in mind-bending, muscular music at the intersection of house, electro, techno, and breaks and we can’t wait to hear them dig through the most cobwebbed corners of their deep record bags for this one. /// Entry is at the discretion of our door staff.
