Sasha and John Digweed defined the superstar-DJ era with their Northern Exposure mixes and their Twilo residency in 1990s New York. At Knockdown Center they take the Main Hall from open to close, six hours of slow-building progressive house and techno-leaning grooves. If you want the weekend's most serious club night, clear your Saturday morning and go.
What to expect
Knockdown is a former factory with high ceilings and a huge main room, and the night builds gradually as the duo trade records. Expect a mix of veteran ravers and younger dancers, strong sound and a crowd that stays until the lights come up.
Good to know
- The event is 21+ with valid ID.
- The nearest subway stops on the L are a long walk away, so many people take a rideshare.
- An open-to-close set rewards arriving early and pacing yourself.
- Plan your ride home in advance; late-night pickups in industrial Maspeth can take time.
- Bring earplugs for a long night near the speakers.
