HERRENSAUNA

Herrensauna takes over the full venue, inviting some of NY’s best to join their residents. MCMLXXXV headlines BASEMENT. One of the most beloved and influential artists in the modern queer underground, MCMLXXXV expertly straddles worlds. On the one hand, his sets can edge into the extreme, with wild curveballs and thundering climaxes. But as crazy as he can get, it’s his range, dynamism and exceptional taste that make his sets stand out. He’s able to conjure a maelstrom, descend down a twisting psychedelic wormhole and tease a euphoric high, often in the same set and never quite how you expect. Salome joins him. One of the most fearsome practitioners of ice cold modern electro, Salome has been on a tear recently, Her fabric podcast, released this spring, scorches from the first track to close, and her recent “Solid Burn” is one of her best releases to date. LORD ASA completes the picture with some blistering, high-BPM technoid madness. A force behind the decks, the NY artist walks the mix right up to the edge of sensory overload, finding a delicate balance in carefully controlled chaos. CEM headlines STUDIO. One of the most diverse and dynamic selectors in the modern landscape, CEM is a worldbuilder par excellence. They elegantly explore the intertwined root structures shared between the heaviest and most nimble ends of the spectrum. Their sets can be mercurial, shadowy and complex but also freewheeling, adventurous and beautifully shocking. Dee Diggs’ sets are loveletters to the forebears and songs of praise to the undying vitality of Black expression. One of the most notable breakouts from the current crop of house music auteurs, Diggs is part of a veritable renaissance for the genre. Sevyn Love joins for the first time. A resident of the beloved Tossd, Sevyn Love have become an unmissable presence in NY, bringing a mixture of high impact club and sensual depth that is undeniable.
