Fri May 8 · 20 Meadow
RIFT 002
After-hours experimental techno at a Bushwick warehouse. LYDO from BASEMENT, Dynoman from Rare Frequency Transmissions. The kind of room people who actually listen go to after the bigger Friday parties end.
Fri May 8 · BASEMENT
Mala Junta: DJ TOOL / Yazzus / Bapari / Zombies In Miami / Kim Ann Foxman / DJ Miss Parker
Berlin's Mala Junta crew lands at BASEMENT — DJ TOOL, Yazzus, Bapari, Zombies in Miami. The room knows how to hold this kind of weight. If you went to Tresor's run a couple weeks back and felt the floor breathe, same engine.
Fri May 8 · Nowadays
Objekt All Night
Objekt for the entire night. Free. At Nowadays. The producer who's been quietly redefining experimental techno for a decade, in the room that knows what to do with it. 672 already RSVPed — show up early or stay home.
Fri May 8 · Knockdown Center
C2C NYC 2026
C2C's annual takeover at Knockdown — Arca, Los Thuthanaka, Malibu, Ava. The lineup that doesn't fit any genre tag. Knockdown gives it the scale it needs. RA Pick of the week — this is where the year's marquee electronic moments happen.
Sat May 9 · BASEMENT
Bassiani Night: Newa / Kancheli b2b 98dots / LYDO / DJ Minx / Jason Kendig / Kilopatrah Jones
Bassiani — the Tbilisi institution that helped redefine techno's center of gravity — brings Newa, Kancheli b2b 98dots, and LYDO to BASEMENT. The week stacks: Mala Junta Friday, Bassiani Saturday. Same room. Different geographies.
