London's reigning queer disco institution has made Labor Day Sunday at Knockdown Center an NYC tradition, and this year's edition runs from 10 PM all the way to 5 AM — with no work in the morning. The Horse Meat Disco crew is joined by Lakuti, Josh Steers, and Love Letters, plus a deep bench of hosts working the floor. Expect classic disco, boogie, and house echoing through the former glass factory's cavernous rooms.
What to expect
Seven hours of disco, boogie, and house across the former glass factory's cavernous brick rooms, with a joyous, dressed-up, heavily queer crowd. HMD's residents share the decks with Lakuti, Josh Steers, and Love Letters, while a squad of hosts keeps the energy up until the 5 AM close.
