Randomer is one of the UK's most reliably physical techno producers — records built on bass weight and swing rather than four-to-the-floor grind, released across Hemlock, Numbers and L.I.E.S. Paragon was designed by people who cared about exactly that: a Bushwick room built around a custom rig with the booth in the floor and phones discouraged, so the crowd faces the speakers. If most club nights feel like a live-stream, this is the corrective.
What to expect
A dark, low-lit standing dance floor with a custom sound system and a smoking area off the side. It runs very late, and the room fills after midnight rather than at doors. Photography on the floor is discouraged as a matter of house policy.
Good to know

- 21 and over with ID
- Phones on the dance floor are discouraged — this is enforced socially and by staff
- It fills late; arriving at doors means an empty room
- Earplugs are worth carrying given the system
- Plan your ride home in advance; the L runs but the blocks are quiet
