Karachi Community Radio grew from an internet station into one of the most interesting South Asian club networks in the world, and nine years in it takes over all of Elsewhere at once. A full-venue billing means the Hall, Zone One and the Rooftop each run their own program, so you can move between sound systems all night. If you want club music outside the standard house-and-techno lane, this is the Bushwick night.
What to expect
Three rooms running simultaneously: the large Hall, the smaller Zone One and an open-air rooftop with a skyline view. Programming spans South Asian club styles, bass and global dance sounds. Wristbands cover the whole building, so most people rotate rooms rather than picking one.
Good to know
- L to Jefferson St or Morgan Av, both a short walk from the venue.
- One admission covers all rooms, including the rooftop.
- The rooftop is open air; bring a layer for later in the night.
- 21 and over with ID checked at the entrance.
- Rooms run at different tempos, so switch if one is too intense.
- Suits anyone curious about South Asian club music beyond the mainstream.
