Description
This weekend’s Nonstop is a fierce defense of the wildcard, gathering some of the world’s gnarliest, most unpredictable voices to prove exactly what can happen when DJs play fast and loose with expectation and prioritize the weird, the wonderful, and the WTF.
This sure-to-be twisted journey begins with a bold b2b mind-meld from BATTYGYAL and Swaya, two Brooklyn faves who are both equally as confident navigating the headier, more challenging realms of downtempo and experimental ambient as they are delivering full-tilt total body dancefloor madness.
Turning the screw as darkness deepens is 3XL label boss, 29 Speedway affiliate, Kwia resident, and Crimeboys member Special Guest DJ. With aliases both as diverse and numerous as his far-flung influences, this puckishly hard-to-pin-down jack-of-all-trades crafts sets that blend the bass weight of dubstep, jungle, and wonky techno with the sonic sensibility of an ambient shoegaze jester, drenching the floor in waves of misty, dub-washed resonance.
Continuing the charge, UK-born, Brooklyn-bred, Berlin-based Significant Other, Pain Management label head and co-founder of Club Night Club, steps up to the decks with a notoriously elusive, genre-resistant approach that contrasts the tender with the chaotic and the skudgy with the atmospheric in immersive, emotional fugue-state listening experiences that are at once both introspective and ecstatic.
Sunrise sees the much-anticipated Nowadays debut of Berlin (by way of London) DJ, curator, NTS resident, and anything-goes girl-of-the-moment, mi-el. Known for infusing the wild intensity and bass futurism of the UK hardcore continuum with oddball pulls from rap to downtempo to spoken word and literal field recordings, mi-el’s deeply personal perspective fuels eclectic, mesmerizingly banging moments of club collage that fearlessly oscillate between the playful and the profound.
Equally unafraid of pushing it into the unknown, FLUSH collective member and Montréal mainstay zi! fills out the morning with her signature palette of brainy broken beats, propulsive trance, trippy techno, and journeying forward motion that almost spiritually builds into a flabbergasting whole unrecognizable from its parts alone.
Closing out this ceremony of the curveball, we’re thrilled to host an extended closing set from Nowadays favorite and absolute master of the craft DjRUM, who infamously weaponizes his virtuosic three-deck vinyl skills to perform exhilaratingly risky, rapturously spellbinding genre-destructive sound rituals that transfigure his encyclopedically vast repertoire to implode the conventions of form once and for all.

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.
Nonstop tickets are divided by entry time. You must arrive during the hours listed on your ticket. For example, if you buy a "10PM–4AM" ticket, you must get here between 10pm and 4am.
After you've arrived during your designated time window, you can stay as long as you'd like, so long as you abide by our safer space policy (more on that below). You're also welcome to come and go as you please. Re-entry is based on capacity and is not guaranteed.
Nonstop attendees can attend Mister Sunday in the backyard starting at 3 pm without buying a separate ticket, and Nonstop re-entry is honored during Mister Sunday.
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.
