Before you ask what raves are happening on any date... (How to find events in NYC)

532 Upvotes

If you're new to raves and related events, or just visiting from out of town, and are trying to find an event to attend on a particular date, you should first check out Resident Advisor, and for more mainstream EDM events see EDMTrain before asking this sub.

These websites list the majority of parties and electronic music events happening in NYC on any given night, along with the ability to buy tickets, and links to the artists playing so you have an idea of what kind of music you will hear that night.

You can also keyword search this sub and probably find your questions already answered about almost any venue or party. For example, if you had a question about Elsewhere, you can use the search bar up top and type 'elsewhere' to find hundreds of discussions about the venue.

We often remove very general questions about events that go something like 'I'm in town on X date, whats happening' or 'anything going on tonight?'. The sub gets inundated with these questions, they are extremely repetitive, and add nothing to this community at this point. Specific questions are welcome! We totally get that a lot of people who use this sub are beginners just trying to learn. By being specific and thoughtful in say what music you like, or vibes you're looking for, you will get better responses too.

Buying/Selling tickets has now been moved to r/avesNYC_tix (all buying/selling of tickets will now be removed)

210 Upvotes

As many of you have noticed, as things have started to pick up in NYC, this sub has been getting spammed with a TON of people buying/selling their tickets last minute to events.

People have been mentioning a ticket thread pinned to the sub, but I don't think this is the best solution because many users are often too lazy to expand and view all comments in the thread, and do a simple control-F to find their event. Even when we had a monthly ticket thread, people still posted to the feed. We would get a response something like 'hey nobody responded to me in the thread, so I just posted here anyway'.

As an alternative, I created a related subredit called r/avesNYC_tix and will pin it to the sidebar as well. You are free to post all of your buying/selling ticket needs there. This is also going to be easier to search through compared to a thread and I also added post flair to distinguish/filter between buying and selling of tickets. Because this will be a generally unmoderated sub, I also encourage people to report scammers and use the 'reports' flair. You are buying tickets here at your own risk.

From now on any posts about buying/selling of tickets on this subreddit will be removed. This kind of content is very spammy, not interesting to read, and does not build community in any meaningful way.

Hiring: Electronic music data curator, $4–5k/month

33 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m Joe, co-founder of Rippit We’re hiring for a music curation role and thought someone in this community might be a good fit.

We’re looking for someone with a deep knowledge of electronic music, genres, and the NYC scene. The work involves creating artist pages, researching their sound and background, writing bios, tagging genres, and keeping event listings accurate. You’d also help shape how we describe artists and give users useful context around their music.

No technical background needed; strong music knowledge, attention to detail, and being comfortable working with spreadsheets are what matters.

It’s full-time at $4–5k/month for the first two months, with the potential to continue. Continuing beyond those two months isn’t guaranteed.

If you’re interested, email [joe@rippit.nyc](mailto:joe@rippit.nyc) with a little about yourself, your connection to the scene, and your resume. I can also send over the full job description.

How cold does it get in the outdoor area? Do they provide heat lamps or should I just wear extra layers underneath my costume?

19 or 20+ clubs/raves?

• Upvotes

Hello, I’m curious if there’s any decent clubs that let anyone in under 21. My mom showed me some videos of the Tunnel, Limelight, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of any?

Turbz x Michael Simpson @ Marquee

• Upvotes

In town for work but only until Friday morning. Trying to find a good show. I know nothing about either of these DJs and I’ve never been to Marquee here. Will this be fun? Or will I regret it? Any feedback on something else to check out this Wednesday/thursday is appreciated.

Experienced racism last night

137 Upvotes

Experienced racism last night in a place where everyone should be accepted, but the the pile of shit of humans are being let in for god knows what reason or why they even want to be there if they are going to bring that attitude.

Im vibing to the music and a group of east asian girls walk by and stop right in front of me and say something to the effect of me being black in a dark room wearing all black. The all start laughing and keep pushing their way to through the crowd.

These crowds are getting worse and worse by the week. Shitty, nasty people like this group of girls have no business being at these parties. But I guess this type of behavior is accepted in this community.

Missed connection @ Basement Oct 17 (The Advent/Dr Rubinstein)

0 Upvotes

Super longshot. Met your group in middle of main room floor during Advent. You were blonde with exposed stomach wearing black. I would guess your height between 5'8 and 5'11. You were with a brunette haired woman shorter than you and a likely curlyish dirty blonde haired guy wearing a white tank undershirt. I was fanning your group and danced with you for a few minutes. Things were getting groovy and as a group you decided you were going somewhere though I didnt hear where. We never spoke so I didnt catch your name or any info. You tried to take my hand to come with but I declined and said I would stay there to dance. Hoped you were coming back but maybe you thought I wasn't interested in dancing more since I declined to leave the floor. Worth a shot.

God damn what a night. Reminder of just how good storehouse can be and glad they’re finishing it off with a genuine send off.

Sound, production, crowd (for the most part) all seemed pretty peak. Just wow. Still can feel it.

Disrespectful crowd at Silo 10/17

31 Upvotes

Really disappointed with our experience.

  • Having to body block for my partner several times because different men were pushing up against her and touching her
  • Aggressive people pushing to the front, just to video on their phones / text
  • People just.. not dancing?

I am connected with the underground scene in Denver / Boulder and had zero of these problems.

Where can we go to have respectful people, without their phones, who have a baseline EQ to not fucking grope people?

Fisher day 2 was an absolute shit show

35 Upvotes

The entrance to the floor has no functional line and it there was a mass of people trying to get in. The situation genuinely was hazardous. The floor admissions line situation made it so that everyone was in a terrible mood during the rave. The highschoolers were pissing everyone off, the music was quiet, and the vibe of the crowd was awful. I also didnt think the set was anything special. I had a great time but nobody else in the crowd was moving.

I’m sorry but that had to be one of the worst crowds I’ve ever experienced. I can understand being young and seeing your favorite DJ but that’s no fucking excuse to behave like that.

The Advent absolutely crushed Basement last night

That set was straight electricity!

Not sure about the match up with Rubenstein though, pretty major tone change after and Studio was pretty hard to decelerate to after that. (Flax was great tho.) That said pretty hard to follow for anyone I think. I've never once been disappointed by Cisco since I first saw him at Twilo in 99 or 2000

Gryffin missing?

6 Upvotes

Anybody who was at Gryffin last night know if/why/where Gryffin disappeared to in the middle of his set? I was a bit far away so I couldn't really see. But it appeared to me and everyone around me from minutes ~30 to ~60, he wasn't in the elevated central spot or around his consoles anymore.

Was that on purpose? An accident? Or was he just in a side area that none of us could see?
