5 STAGES, 40+ ARTISTS, LINEUP & HOT DOGS IMMINENT, BRB... ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● NOTE: We are switching it up this year to a two-part ticketing system. The DAY portion goes from 3P - 10P, with entrance until 9p. This will feature Texas, the annexed portion upstairs at Knockdown, along with the outdoor Ruins area like in past years. The NIGHT portion will be inside Basement and Studio, with entrance between 10P and 6A. This will feature the ambient chill room in the Ruins as well, like in the past. The $15 ticket allows reduced entry for the day party before 6PM.  If you arrive after that time, you will be asked to pay the difference between this ticket and a full-price ticket. There will be delicious food available all day and night. ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● IMPORTANT: While THIS PARTY has ALWAYS been ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, it remains SUITED for THOSE who would REALIZE that the DEEPEST CONNECTIONS and MOST PROFOUND PERSONAL REALIZATIONS occur when ONE is OPEN to EXPERIENCING CULTURE as it EXISTS on a ONE-TO-ONE level. In doing so, it is PARAMOUNT that you UNDERSTAND that THE POWER OF MODERN DANCE MUSIC is FUNDAMENTALLY ROOTED in the ACT of SOUL-BEARING COMMUNION, one that was BORN out of the IRREFUTABLE NECESSITY to HONOR ONE'S TRUE SELF, ESPECIALLY when SOCIETY AT LARGE would SIGNAL that YOUR HAPPINESS and WELL-BEING are NOT A PRIORITY. In LIGHT THEREOF, this PARTY ASPIRES to TRANSFORM the LANGUAGE of this country’s FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT as it would APPLY to AN ENLIGHTENED ASSEMBLY within OUR CURRENT AGE, to BACK this LONG SINCE SULLIED DREAM FOR THE FEW into a REALITY FOR THE MANY with RENEWED INTEGRITY, in HOPES that ONE DAY, the PROMISE of this VISION shall NO LONGER RING HOLLOW. Until THEN, we CONTINUE to HOLD these TRUTHS to be SELF-EVIDENT: ALL HUMANS ARE BORN FREE AND EQUAL IN DIGNITY & RIGHTS. WE are ENDOWED with REASON and CONSCIENCE, & OUR ACTIONS should be GUIDED by THE SPIRIT of KINSHIP. AND SO WE BELIEVE... to MANIFEST something WORTHY of CELEBRATION on THIS DATE, it is IMPERATIVE to ACKNOWLEDGE that the ROOTS of SO MUCH of THE MUSIC REPRESENTED here TRACE BACK to HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, SPECIFICALLY from BLACK, LATIN, & LGBTQ NIGHTLIFE IN NYC. RECOGNIZING THIS is VITAL to FULLY APPRECIATING the MYRIAD WAYS in which DANCE MUSIC has EVOLVED & CONTINUES to GROW. STATED SIMPLY: DIVERSITY & QUEER CULTURE ARE CENTRAL TO THE PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE OF DANCE MUSIC, AS WELL AS THE BEAUTY OF WHAT THIS CITY CAN REPRESENT SHOULD WE TRULY LET IT. REMIND YOURSELF OF THIS, IMBUE YOUR PRESENCE WITH COMPASSION, ENTER WITH AN OPEN MIND & HEART, AND YOUR ATTENDANCE WILL HONOR THIS FACT. ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● BASEMENT House Rules: ■ 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
