Flying Lotus's Layer 3 is a full audiovisual production rather than a DJ set, and it needs a room the size of Knockdown Center's main hall to work. The supporting names are not filler: EYE from Boredoms, Olof Dreijer from The Knife and Black Dice would each headline elsewhere. It is a single-night bill assembled for this room, not a tour stop, which is the whole argument for going.
What to expect
A long evening across a converted factory in Maspeth, opening in early evening and running late, with an audiovisual headline set and a deep supporting bill of experimental and electronic acts. Expect volume, projection and a crowd that came for the music. The site is large, so you can move between rooms.
Good to know
- Knockdown Center is a converted glass and door factory in Maspeth, not a conventional club
- The M train to Grand Avenue-Newtown and the L to Jefferson Street are the closest subway options, each a walk from the venue
- The bill runs long from early evening into the night, so pace yourself rather than arriving for the headliner
- Tickets are sold through DICE, which means a mobile ticket rather than a printout
- The venue is large with indoor and outdoor space, so bring a layer for the outdoor sections
- Flying Lotus's set is an audiovisual production, so sightlines matter more than they would for a DJ
