Expect a wide spectrum of visionary dance and club music while honoring its rich history and culture anchored in NYC and the Midwest US. Let’s create a respectful and liberating club experience together and keep phones and conversations away from the dance floor. 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘-𝗨𝗣: ✧✵ 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗞𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘀 (𝗨𝗦) [she/her] ✵✧ Brooklyn’s own Rose Kourts is one of the most distinct voices in the NYC music scene, having developed a reputation for building radiant energy with a buoyancy that can’t help but sweep up every dance floor. She weaves through eras and moods of house, techno, and more with bombastic joy and love for the craft - not afraid to play a cheeky curveball or a soaring anthem, always creating a dialogue of surprise and delight between herself and dance floor devotees. A beloved regular at iconic clubs in NYC, such as Nowadays and BASEMENT, Rose Kourts’ sound has won the hearts of audiences near and far beyond her home base with appearances at electronic music institutions like Body Language, Dweller, Honcho Campout, Sustain-Release, Wire Festival, and Making Time (to name a few). Her Lot Radio residency “GEMS” showcases her deep digging sensibilities and thoughtful curations. Rose Kourts is also a co-founder and resident of renegade party Sweet Kicks. ✧✵ 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝘆𝗻 (𝗨𝗦) [she/they] ✵✧ House head by trade and music lover at heart, Sevyn is a producer, DJ, curator and founder of music platform and curatorial studio Beautiful Noise. Sevyn unanticipatedly embarked on her journey into the world of DJing after first finding her calling in live instrumentation and musical arrangement growing up in her hometown, Washington D.C. Since then, she’s gained notoriety as a DJ across Los Angeles’ underground scene, playing everything from community-oriented events that have been foundational to the scene’s rapid growth, to large crowds at warehouse raves. Sevyn’s sets draw from house, techno, and jazz, with an underbelly of soulful tracks that make you move. With these foundations, she delivers a distinct and compelling musical voice, promoting the eclecticism of Black music and community. It’s this deep appreciation for culture and history that radiates through her narrative-driven mixes and productions. ✧✵ 𝗩𝗔𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗔 (𝗨𝗦) [she/her] ✵✧ VARSHA is a DJ, freestyle dancer, and model from the San Francisco Bay Area currently based in NYC. Her artistic practice is deeply inspired by the communities of artists and dancers from the queer and freestyle dance cultures that she is a part of, primarily the house dance & ballroom scenes. Through her bouncy, playful, and deep selections she strives to channel the vibrant energy of these scenes, encouraging party-goers to feel boundless in their bodies and their movement. She’s passionate about bringing the underground club scene & dancers back together, by nurturing self-expression, joy, and community — an aim which she achieves via her seminal Oakland-based party and monthly radio show, BODY HIGH. Together with 4AM NYC she curated the release of 'I.Y.K.Y.K.', released on Air Texture in 2024, highlighting femme and non-binary artistry around the globe, receiving recognition and features across some of the biggest publications in dance music, namely DJ Mag, Resident Advisor, and Mixmag. ✧✵ 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝘅 (DE/DK) [he/him] ✵✧ 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐀 is a club concept curated by Robin Flux, born from his passion for exploring the rich cultural heritage of global dance and club cultures from the US to Asia. Through his artistic journey that spans iconic venues and functions from NYC, Chicago and Detroit, to Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, he has developed an authentic voice as a DJ, producer, dancer, and curator. As an active member of the ballroom, whacking and house dance scenes, he is dedicated to foster community building and cultural exchange, curating a diverse range of club concepts, dance sessions, performances and community events internationally as well as locally, as the co-founder of Copenhagen-based dance and club initiative 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐋 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐆𝐄. ✧✵ artwork by 𝗝𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘀 @__jinx ✵✧ —————————— 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 & 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 20-22h: Doors open, free entry 20-22h: Happy hour (2 for 1 drinks and cheap beers) 22-05h: Club night, 75 DKK (door sales only) 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 @𝗷𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲_𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Entrance only to 20+ with valid ID.
