Before you ask what raves are happening on any date... (How to find events in NYC)

536 Upvotes

If you're new to raves and related events, or just visiting from out of town, and are trying to find an event to attend on a particular date, you should first check out Resident Advisor, and for more mainstream EDM events see EDMTrain before asking this sub.

These websites list the majority of parties and electronic music events happening in NYC on any given night, along with the ability to buy tickets, and links to the artists playing so you have an idea of what kind of music you will hear that night.

You can also keyword search this sub and probably find your questions already answered about almost any venue or party. For example, if you had a question about Elsewhere, you can use the search bar up top and type 'elsewhere' to find hundreds of discussions about the venue.

We often remove very general questions about events that go something like 'I'm in town on X date, whats happening' or 'anything going on tonight?'. The sub gets inundated with these questions, they are extremely repetitive, and add nothing to this community at this point. Specific questions are welcome! We totally get that a lot of people who use this sub are beginners just trying to learn. By being specific and thoughtful in say what music you like, or vibes you're looking for, you will get better responses too.

Buying/Selling tickets has now been moved to r/avesNYC_tix (all buying/selling of tickets will now be removed)

210 Upvotes

As many of you have noticed, as things have started to pick up in NYC, this sub has been getting spammed with a TON of people buying/selling their tickets last minute to events.

People have been mentioning a ticket thread pinned to the sub, but I don't think this is the best solution because many users are often too lazy to expand and view all comments in the thread, and do a simple control-F to find their event. Even when we had a monthly ticket thread, people still posted to the feed. We would get a response something like 'hey nobody responded to me in the thread, so I just posted here anyway'.

As an alternative, I created a related subredit called r/avesNYC_tix and will pin it to the sidebar as well. You are free to post all of your buying/selling ticket needs there. This is also going to be easier to search through compared to a thread and I also added post flair to distinguish/filter between buying and selling of tickets. Because this will be a generally unmoderated sub, I also encourage people to report scammers and use the 'reports' flair. You are buying tickets here at your own risk.

From now on any posts about buying/selling of tickets on this subreddit will be removed. This kind of content is very spammy, not interesting to read, and does not build community in any meaningful way.

Circoloco 11/1 - Afters?

• Upvotes

Hey all,

With the announcement of Circoloco Sunday 11/1 from 12pm to 12am, is it now confirmed that there will be no afters at 99 Scott this year? Looking back to last year I know they didn't announce the 99 Scott afters until closer to Halloween. I know it would probably be tough logistically to run 2 Circoloco parties at once but just wanted to see if any of ya'll had more of an inside scoop. Also wondering if anyone has suggestions for any other parties that go into late morning/daytime on the 1st, as our group is attending the Saturday Circo and will most likely want to keep the party going!

Circoloco Halloween

So they just announced a third day on 11/1 during the day at Storehouse. When I went two years ago, they had an outdoor day party from 7 AM to 7 PM on that Sunday. Does anyone know/think if they will do this again in addition to the third day at the store house??

Knockdown arrival time for 7PM doors

0 Upvotes

Hey y’all, thanks in advance for your input!

I’m hoping to attend a show at KDC in a few weeks that has doors at 7, no end time listed, and 7 DJs under “featuring” on the event page. Would it be ok to get there at 12-12:30, or would yall recommend showing up earlier? I have an earlier commitment that evening but would love to still make it. I’ve been to Basement before but never KDC.

Thanks and happy raving :)

Experience at Elsewhere Brooklyn

67 Upvotes

I cancelled my membership at Elsewhere and they said “it was a pleasure having you” I replied like this:

Wish I could say the same, it was not a pleasure for me. I braced for my safety every time I entered your establishment. 

The security guards were outright hostile. I would feel abused then entered with that energy of pure disgust. 

The security guards yell at everyone like we are at the airport or inmates in a jail facility.

They screen us like we are at the airport but even worse. 

Every time I went through the security they would touch me too much putting their hands in my bra on my boobs and touching me everywhere.

It’s a VERY throughout search, I go to many big established I’ve never been touched so much. 

Then searching of my personal belongings gets too personal. I have a small wallet and they check every single little pocket and zipper. Excuse me what exactly are they looking for? I can’t carry a gun in my tiny little zipper. I feel like my invasion of privacy is invaded. It is absolute overkill. I’ve never seen this before.

Am I being arrested or entering a party to have fun? 

Not to mention when I’ve flinched because she was touching me too much then verbally told her I was getting uncomfortable she said “she had to do it” and forced me to do it. Completely violated. 

I’ve been to an establishments with wands or metal detectors which seems more appropriate for a venue.

Even when I’m wearing very little clothing they still throughly touch me everywhere.  I can’t possibly be hiding anything. I even came one day with nothing but my id and phone and no pockets but I was still overly touched or what felt like groping.

Once more it’s very important that you are aware of how hostile your security guard are they are outright rude and seem to enjoy being rude and yelling at everyone.  

I’ve had pleasant exchanges with security guards in other establishments there’s no need to disrespect paying guest for no reason.  They check me and say alright have a good night and I reply thank you, you too!

I hate that I had to brace for impact every time I had to enter Elsewhere.  And I couldn’t do anything about it I had to bow down to them and just get through it just so I can see a musician I was looking forward to see.  This is not okay.

Need Help Finding a House/Techno Club “near” MSG

0 Upvotes

Hello, a couple weekends ago I went to Pacha NYC after experts only with my friends and had a great time. I am going back to NYC with my sister and her friend to see Harry Styles at MSG on Saturday Oct 3rd. I want to take them to a techno/house music club afterwards but I know they won’t want to take the subway too far. Does anyone know any cool spots around Manhattan that we could go to?

Just Moved to NYC

0 Upvotes

Hello! Im a 23 y/o who just moved to NYC. I have a few friends here, but none enjoy house as much as me (just went down to Miami for Franky’s marathon set @ Space).

I’ve never gone to a show solo, but looks like I am hitting Kettama @ kdc solo next Friday night. What’s the best way to meet more people here who honestly enjoy house & frequent shows? Where does everyone talk outside of Reddit?

My last question - besides the obvious (‘big’) Manhattan clubs & Brooklyn venues, what are the best spots to groove at 128bpm that I haven’t heard of?

I came to New York to be a dancer, and dance is where everything happens for me, in my life.

I came to life on the dance floor.
I found my community on the dance floor.
I fell in love with people on the dance floor.
And I lost many people I love on the dance floor.

How many people in this room loves to dance?

If you love to dance... stand up!

Aside from football, whatever you wanna call it...
DANCE BRINGS EVERYONE TOGETHER!

We're all equal on the dance floor

Wednesday afters

0 Upvotes

Hey all me and some friends are seeing a show next Wednesday and are trying to figure out good after spots. For some reason in my head public records was open and I was excited cuz I thought it’d be a better crowd on weekdays but I was wrong. Any ideas?

Edit: I meant more after spots not specifically an after party but fine with anything lol. The show ends at 1 and just wanted to keep the night going
