Mochakk caps his NYC takeover weekend with a Sunday day party in the Ruins, Knockdown Center's open-air space in Maspeth — his first time playing it. The Brazilian's funky, high-octane house has made him one of dance music's fastest-rising stars, and the undercard holds its own: house-renaissance fixture DJ SWISHA, Sao Paulo's nocapz., and Night Slugs/fabric alum Leonce. Doors at 3pm, lights at 10 — dance in daylight, home by midnight.

What to expect

An open-air, daylight-into-night house party from 3pm to 10pm in Knockdown Center's outdoor Ruins space. Four DJs across the afternoon: Leonce's stripped percussion, nocapz.'s breezy Brazilian groove, DJ SWISHA's NY club energy, and a headline Mochakk set. It's the last date of his NYC run, so expect it to fill up.
