Copenhagen's Mama Snake — the Amniote Editions founder at the center of techno's trance renaissance — returns to headline BASEMENT's main room until sunrise. She's joined by FOLD resident Anabel Arroyo, making her BASEMENT debut, and BOUND founder Katie Rex, while Fafi Abdel Nour and Gabrielle Kwarteng pour classic house into STUDIO. Few New York weekends offer a club bill this deep for under $30.
What to expect
Two rooms run all night: razor-edged techno and trance from Mama Snake, Anabel Arroyo, and Katie Rex in the BASEMENT room, and classic-leaning house from Fafi Abdel Nour, Gabrielle Kwarteng, and Jek in STUDIO. The space is dark, industrial, and dance-floor-first, with a serious sound system and phone cameras covered at the door. Doors open 10:30 PM and the music goes to 7 AM, so pace yourself.
Good to know
- 21+ only — bring a valid photo ID
- Tickets are tiered on RA ($16.65 early bird up to $27.80) and cheaper tiers sell out; buying ahead beats the door
- BASEMENT covers phone camera lenses with stickers at entry — this is a no-photos dance floor
- The club is inside Knockdown Center at 52-19 Flushing Ave; the Jefferson St L stop is about a 15-minute walk, or take the B57 bus
- It's an all-nighter (10:30 PM–7 AM) — plan your ride home for the early morning
