Description
This edition of Nonstop explores the experimental, iconoclastic antipodes of contemporary global bass and club futurism, charting an international voyage through propulsive kinetics, off-kilter grooves, polymorphous eclecticism, and borderless, forward-thinking dancefloor sounds.
The expedition begins with the adventurous selections of Colombian-Canadian and currently Mexico-based DJ, producer, and ISLA record label founder NAP, a.k.a. Daniel Rincon. In addition to his own productions and notable collaborations, including Ambien Baby (with Vancouver’s D. Tiffany), NAP is known for his uniquely hemispheric approach to dancefloor programming, intermingling the sonic traditions of his Colombian roots with time spent in both Vancouver’s DIY underground and Mexico’s contemporary nightlife landscape in DJ sets that traverse deconstructed club, no-wave, trip-hop, illbient, and rippling outer-genre bass and dub blended with salsa, cumbiatón, and other strains of Latin electronics.
The exploratory charge continues with Milan-based DJ, producer, and Ansia label boss Piezo, who crafts impressively meticulous, psychedelically expansive sets that are strikingly heady, heavy, and hi-def, combining sonic influence from his days in the Italian freetekno rave scene with an affinity for post-dubstep mutations of UK bass, techno, and soundsystem culture developed during time spent in Bristol.
Crossing the Atlantic for the second time in our journey, São Paulo DJ, producer, and BANDIDA collective member BADSISTA brings us into the daylight with both energy and ease, eagerly blending baile funk with pounding techno, kuduro and dancehall with jacking Chicago house, and hypermodern soundsystem jams with underground global bass, concocting raw, high-pressure, carefully constructed yet seemingly carefree dancefloor workouts that prove why she stands at the forefront of the global future club sound.
Adroitly complementing BADSISTA’s high-energy, high-contrast genre-blending praxis, London-based NTS host and Nowadays resident OK Williams takes control, filling out the morning with intrepidly diverse and masterfully mixed high-risk/high-reward selections spanning from finger-on-the-pulse UK rap to blissful deep house and 90s prog, from banging techno and electro to wonky jungle, UK funky, and experimental technoid bassweight, always played with intention and shining with personality.
No stranger to the stranger substrains of over-the-top yet under-the-radar vinyl—spanning from minimal techno, mesmerizing deep house, sinister electro, and experimental dub and club selections—Düsseldorf-born, Berlin-based Vietnamese DJ, producer, Time Passages label boss, Club der Visionäre mainstay, and Nowadays resident Binh is up next, helming a heads-down heads-only depth-charge through his obsessively-collected, globally-inflected crates of alien textures, hypnotic grooves, and minimal psychedelic sound design.
Driving things home, we are honored to host a foundational pillar of the UK underground electronic music and club scenes: Craig Richards. Best known as the iconic inaugural resident DJ and musical director for London’s Fabric nightclub (having played over 700 Saturdays over the last 25+ years at the legendary venue’s EC1 room) as well as the founder and musical curator of the acclaimed Houghton Festival, Richards has indelibly shaped the adventurous and eclectic sound and spirit of UK nightlife over the past three decades. Renowned for long-form, deeply narrative yet cheekily unpredictable sets championing both medium (vinyl-only) and message (dancefloor first), Richards shuttles between infectious tech house, atmospheric deep house, bumping techno, dynamic breaks, and bassy dub reggae, crafting inventive, unorthodox blends with a precision and ease that only a true veteran can deliver.

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.
