from the promoter’s listing

Short King returns to The Cockpit at Red Eye on Friday, October 9 for another edition of Short King: Underground, a darker, heavier, and cruisier night centered on our vertically efficient, travel-size gay and queer men and the guys who love to get on their level.

We are trading the main room glare for low clearance, dark corners, and a tactile play space atmosphere built for dancing, flirting, and getting a little closer. Gear is encouraged, clothes check will be available, and the room is yours to explore.

Finding a proper underground play space in Manhattan is a tall order. Short King is ready to take you deeper.

☆autogyro☆

Detroit raised and NYC based, autogyro is known for long-form dancefloor journeys where hypnosis meets emotional release. Moving between dark rolling house and deep hypnotic techno, he builds tension through layered rhythms, rolling sub-bass, and flashes of familiar vocals before opening into moments of raw, collective lift. His sets unfold gradually, deepening the atmosphere, building the heat, and keeping bodies locked in motion as the room moves from playful groove into darker late-night territory.

☆IPOK☆

New York City-based DJ and Eagle NYC resident IPOK brings a powerful, bass-driven club sensibility to the dancefloor. Blending house, techno, and high-energy club sounds, his sets move fluidly between dark grooves and euphoric moments, keeping dancers locked into the rhythm from the first beat to the last.

Together, autogyro and IPOK take Short King: Underground through the night with a soundtrack built for low ceilings, dark corners, and bodies getting closer.

☆Hosted by Macho, with go-gos Jason Luna and Kazimir Fox☆

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    autogyro is a Detroit-raised, NYC-based DJ shaping long-form dancefloor journeys where hypnosis meets emotional release. Rooted in underground house and techno but guided by a deep sensitivity to atmosphere, his sets unfold slowly, building tension through layered coexistence before opening into moments of warmth, memory, and shared lift. Somewhere between deep club control and queer ceremonial space, autogyro creates experiences that feel both intimate and expansive. Grounded in queer nightlife’s culture of care, autogyro treats the dancefloor as a living environment: a place to feel, breathe, and reconnect. Familiar lyrics drift in like echoes, bodies move as one organism, and sunrise arrives not as a climax but as a gentle exhale.
