There's always something happening all around New York City; it's impossible to know everything that's happening in every borough, but I do my best. None of the words or opinions expressed here represent anyone but myself (don't get me in trouble).
This email's long enough. Just a heads up that I might do a reader's poll; mostly interested in seeing if you go to any of these recommendations and if you're looking for more daytime stuff/non-club events. Feel free to reply to this email to let me know what you think!
Thursday: Head to Teteo (obviously) for Dada Cozmic, Riobamba, and Oscar Nñ and then swing by Bossa Nova to catch Entrañas, joining us all the way from Ecuador (they'll also be playing the massive Cumbia vs Reggaeton night on Saturday)
Friday: Catch Fatboi Sharif at Public Records for an early show, then head over to Mi Sabor Cafe for hellotones and Nas Leber, then finish at the people's afters at Dante's Dance
Saturday: Start your day off right by grabbing some garms (british?) at Femlord's Studio Sale, then head to The Lot Radio for a takeover with the good people at Juanita's. In the evening, indie sleaze it up with The Dare or celebrate the one-year anniversary of Cumbia vs Reggaeton with Rebecca's and Jade Bar (special mention to DJ Raqx and Lita at Mood Ring, which continues to have weird vibes)
Sunday: Support mutual aid with the fundraiser bake sale at Honey Moon Coffee Shop and then go see MASSUH perform live for the first time at Project Reach
Coming up next week: The Water From Your Eyes Record Release (Tuesday), a Bergsonist x Miho Hatori night (Wednesday), two chances to see Big Joanie (Thursday and Friday), a free show with Soul Glo & Compa (Friday), and a night on the Elsewhere rooftop with pioneering jungle and dnb producers Dazegxd, Gum.mp3, and Swami Sound
