2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ACTIVATED
WELCOME THE DIVA... We're back.... Dare we say, better than ever with an entirely upgraded experience. Configurations are updated, performances are more glorious, and the space- well, honey, you just gotta come and see for yourself.
IN ADDITION, we are excited to integrate our first ever SOMATIC MOVEMENT WORKSHOP, designed for all bodies with no experience required; join us from 9:30pm to 10:30pm for a guided movement workshop with Caleb Thomas and Biruk, enveloping us into an ether of downtempo sound. This workshop will guide us into the night as we get deeper into our bodies and prepare for 2 year celebrations. SMOOTHIES, COLD BREW, AND LIGHT REFRESHMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WE WIL
As our lineage suggests, PMT operates as an incubator for performance and emerging sound selectors. Our rave garners a sonically charged experience. Through techno, experimentation, and liberation of the body, we invite you onto our dance floor to experience
yourself.

Who they are
“SKIN CONTACT takes their name from the pleasure of closeness, sweat, bodies, and the charged intimacy of underground spaces.”
their own biography
the whole biography
SKIN CONTACT takes their name from the pleasure of closeness, sweat, bodies, and the charged intimacy of underground spaces. Their sound carries a raw, industrial edge, moving with precise focus toward hypnotic intensity. Through 3–4 deck mixing, they are interested in creating moments of chaos that dissolve into spaces for reorganization and potential. As founder and curator of PLAY ME TECHNO (PMT), SKIN CONTACT is a defining presence in Brooklyn’s underground, creating spaces that blur the line between rave, performance, and ritual. Through PMT, they’ve cultivated a platform for risk, experimentation, and radical connection: where sound, movement, and community converge. By merging performance art’s intensity with the pulse of the dance floor, SKIN CONTACT continues to shape a new language for nightlife in Brooklyn: one rooted in transformation, collectivity, and embodied resistance.Recently at The House, 9 Bob Note, Jade · often with Cyb3r Bull, Sevyn 0000, Atomheartmommy, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Alfonso Javier is a New York-based DJ and cultural producer raised in San Antonio, Texas, rooted in a family of musicians spanning classical and Latin American traditions from Michoacán, Mexico. That inheritance moves through everything. The patience of a protracted blend, the pull of layered percussion, a set that unfolds like it was written for the room it's in. Their work as a creative producer across fashion and experiential production has sharpened something harder to name: a feel for desire, for the moment a crowd stops thinking and starts moving. Those two worlds bleed into each other. Tactile, slow-building, and tuned to the precise moment a room is ready to open up. Those who've watched them work describe a DJ who merges infuriating and intricate sounds with pre-Hispanic beats in a way that makes you feel played as much as they are playing. Layered in a way that goes beyond selection, Alfonso Javier approaches the decks as a vessel, there to educate, to nurture, to feed a crowd something it didn't know it needed until it was already inside them. Eight years into NYC's underground and queer nightlife, they've become a first call for the raves that go on to define the city.Recently at BASEMENT, Signal, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with ALEXIS DE LA ROSA, ANTOJITO, Bobby Beethoven, none of them here that night

the whole biography
The work of Sydfalls occupies a liminal circuitry rooted in matters of the heart. Footwork, techno, and diasporic bass traditions serve as a touchstone in their sonic signature. Born and based in Chicago, they oscillate between producer, hybrid performer, and DJ - ranging from a breakneck pulse to moments of serenity 𖥔⋅*ੈRecently at Nowadays, Paragon, Signal · often with Via App, Juliana Huxtable, DILUVIA, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Concrete Husband is a NYC-based producer, DJ, composer, and flutist whose work bridges hypnotic techno, contemporary composition, and surrealist sound design. His forward-thinking dance records Piel and Pelvic Resonance, released on White Owl Records, received critical acclaim, with Document Journal describing his music as “redefining avant-garde composition.” Educated at New England Conservatory, he draws on a deep knowledge of musical history to create emotionally charged sonic narratives that blur the line between the sensual and the uncanny. His DJ sets move through hypnotic grooves and psychological tension. A fixture of the Brooklyn techno scene, he has been seen countless times at BASEMENT, Paragon, and Knockdown Center, as well as at WIRE Festival and Merge. He is a resident of the Mexico City collective Pervert. As a composer and flutist, he merges virtuosic performance with experimental approaches to sound. Integrating live flute into his work, he has developed a singular performance language that led Eartheater to invite him to open her 2024 international tour, alongside a headline debut at Silent Green. His compositions have been presented at Amant, MoMA PS1, Museum of Modern Art, MUNCH, and Palazzo Reale. He has also scored Dion Lee’s Shanghai Fashion Week presentation and contributed flute compositions to the A24 film Beau Is Afraid. Most recently, he released the experimental project "Where The Ashes Glow" on NNA Tapes.Techno on 2, Afrobeat on 1, Art Rock on 1 and Ethereal on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on White Owl Records (3) (2) and Gonzo Circus (1); their RA profile also lists NNA Tapes and White Owl Records. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Signal, BASEMENT, Paragon · often with Juana, Ne/Re/A, VILE, none of them here that night
