MISSION

I am a New Yorker who by a universal mistake was born in Russia and had to cross continent and then traverse US
to finally find a city with a heartbeat that matched mine.
No other city embraced me. In Moscow I was too outspoken, in Miami too fast, in Chicago too daring.
New York City gave me life.
Its heart and spirit will be forever young as its blood is
always renewed with fresh talent. Dreamers and critics, romantics and seekers, performers and transformers from all over the world strive to make a mark in NYC. Creative renewal is in the air we breathe and every generation of New Yorkers has its own art, nightlife, and social scenes that evolve continuously. Keeping up with all events that are shaping this city is a challenge, but I will try to bring you the fascinating, the beautiful and the outrageous in New York City nightlife with an emphasis on underground electronic music scene which happens to be my favorite fantasy land.
Expect the unexpected

United Front

NYC clubs have been harassed for a while now and it's great to see that someone finally found a voice to stand up to a bias system. So Nightlife Preservation Community was created and they are standing up for our rights to dance in peace! I was amazed to see the club community coming together like this. The DJ line up is insane, but the party will kick off at 1am Monday and there are a lot of people who can't attend because of work. Just knowing that there is a movement happening to save NYC nightlife from obliteration is enough to feel elated without actually being at the party.
Please read this short article fully explaining the state of clubbing in NYC

It's very interesting that this is happening 1 week before the 40 year anniversary of Stonewall Riots that spurred Gay Rights movement. Gay Pride Parade happens at the end of June to celebrate the anniversary of Stonewall and serves as a reminder that if we are not willing to stand up to the system and challenge preconceived notions nothing will ever change.
I love New York!
