Powder All Night

“When I'm playing, I operate in a way like an audio visualiser, translating the sounds I hear in my head into something to relate to what the dance floor is hearing or feeling. I want to hear what people are hearing, so the preparation on the dance floor is essential… I don't have a fixed playing style, but I get inspiration for what to play from feeling the people there or the atmosphere of the space. I sometimes go back to my hotel to reselect songs after getting hints from the dancer's movements or even the tone or rhythm I feel from the people who are talking.” – Powder, The Art of DJing, 2021 Powder’s sets feel like floating through an off-kilter dreamscape – dancing into a deeper meaning that feels both poignant and just out of reach, punctuated by moments of silliness and serendipity. The best way to sink into the dreamscape is an all-night set, and we’re excited to go deep with one of our favorite DJs. /// RSVP is $10 before 11pm and $15 before midnight. An RSVP is good for one person. If you're bringing friends, please have them RSVP here as well. We stop taking RSVPs at 6pm on the day of the party. In order to receive the RSVP discount, you must be at the ticket desk by the cutoff time and not just in line. It's wise to arrive early to make sure you're not standing in line when the time comes. An RSVP does not guarantee entry. Sometimes parties do sell out, so if you want to be sure you'll get in, it's best to grab a ticket in advance. /// Entry is at the discretion of our door staff. Online purchases are limited to four tickets maximum per person. If tickets are sold out here, we always hold a good amount at the door. We will do our best to admit those without tickets but entrance is not guaranteed. Violence, non-consensual touching, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, ageist or other discriminatory language, and leering are not allowed within our walls or in our back yard. If someone says or does something to make you feel uncomfortable while you’re here, let us know. /// Accessibility: The wheelchair entrance to our indoor space is in the driveway, which is the access point most commonly used to enter Nowadays. During parties the driveway gate is locked, so please ask staff at the street entrance for assistance with entry. All of our bathrooms are gender-neutral. There is one accessible stall indoors. Just ask any Nowadays staff member for the key, and they can show you the way. During parties, seating is available both on and off the dance floor. While we don’t have a dedicated quiet space indoors during parties, the booths next to coat check are a little quieter, and the deck and back yard a little quieter than that. Most nighttime parties include the use of strobe lights and water based haze.
