Juliana Huxtable is the poet laureate of New York techno - an artist of staggering originality whose multi hyphenate creative practice offers a sprawling vision of self definition and joyful, playful confrontation. A writer whose poetic works teeter on the edge of chaos, a live performer of riveting magnetism and a DJ with an uncompromising devotion to exploration, Huxtable is an inspiration to a generation. Copenhagen’s Peachlyfe returns to BASEMENT. The Fast Forward Productions affiliate is one of the most exciting artists currently re-tooling trance and throbbing rave for the future. Their tracks bring a righteous queer energy to bear on nimble, melodic groove and hard-and-fast bangers. Creams makes her debut in the room, offering a dose of sugary sweet insanity. A true multifaceted artist, Creams veers between ultra-crafted, twisted pop and vicious club meltdowns. At every turn, she channels an intuitive power that sets her work apart. We know this one will go off; Creams is bringing a special electro/techno set for this night. Jason Kendig’s sets at STUDIO have been certified masterclasses. Blending euphoric, sparkling disco house, deep, spacey groove and wiggly, funky earworms, Kendig is a DJ whose studied craft, effortless pacing and comprehensive knowledge come together into something truly divine. The man makes it look easy, but only a craftsman of the highest order could do what he does, again and again, without showing a single seam. Jimmy Edgar’s spiraling funk is on another level. Once a Warp records artist with a heavy IDM tilt, Edgar’s evolution has brought his signature sleaze to new heights. Somewhere between lurid trap, syrupy hyperpop and deconstructed R&B, you can find Jimmy Edgar. Evan Tail returns to STUDIO. The French artist’s embrace of raw, early ballroom, swinging NY house and the enveloping joy of a classic diva track taps into the essence of the classics. ■ No photos or videos ■ Ticket purchase does not guarantee entrance ■ No phone use on the dancefloor ■ The dance floor is for dancing, not conversation ■ No glowing/flashing clothes or items ■ Respect other people's space, no shuffling ■ Consent is mandatory ■ Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any form of discrimination ■ Take care of each other, alert our staff if somebody isn't feeling well ■ Violating the house rules will result in removal PLEASE REVIEW HOUSE POLICIES AT LINK BELOW
