Desert Dwellers made their name on the festival circuit with slow, hypnotic tracks that mix hand percussion, world-music samples and deep bass, a sound that sits between a yoga class and a late-night dance floor. A Gramercy Theatre show puts that immersive audiovisual set in a room small enough to feel the low end. If you like Bonobo or organic house, this is your night.
What to expect
A former movie house turned sloped concert hall with a standing floor, projected visuals and a crowd that dances slowly and steadily through a long set.
