#letnycdance

New year resolution 2017 was to see Nina Kraviz play, and what better way to close this crazy year that to see her play b2b with UMFANG in the early morning. The venue was magnificent, but the cover $$$ was insane and the bathroom situation not up to par with the party. Aside from that, it was a dope time and everyone was well behaved! Power DJs in the booth, more photos at NoSleep.co + new track right below!

A late Brooklyn night celebrating Aphotic’s 3rd anniversary, with an explosive lineup, including Akanbi, Anetha, Arthur Kimskii, and Mary Yuzovskaya! One of those nights to remember, dancing way after sunrise! May 2017. Check out a dope mix by the brilliant Anetha right below!

🎶what’s the name of this club? I can’t remember but it’s alright alright🎶 Big story by @correality in the Times today about #letnycdance. Big thanks to our city council, especially @rlespinal and @cmlauriecumbo for supporting nightlife. This law sets the new standard laid out by Amsterdam Night Mayor @mirikmilan: city legislation cannot be considered effective until it helps the mainstream as well as the underground. Rock on: @danceliberation @houseofyesnyc @bossanovacivicclub @secretprojectrobot! (at Lovely Day)

🙌The City of New York is getting a Nightlife Mayor. Pack MARKET HOTEL with underground heroes from across the city to tell the Comissioners: #SaveNYCSpaces. This artist-led event is the only chance for public input. Cultures that inspire the world are born and grow here in NYC's diverse grassroots spaces. They should be preserved, not targeted nor forced out of existance by the affordability crisis. The Night Mayor's job should be to #SaveNYCSpaces not amplify gentrification. Help those who need it. #LetNYCDance #ImproveDontEvict #NightlifeHelpDesk #Nightlife4All

END NYC's "No Dancing" Cabaret Law - Created in 1926 to halt interracial dancing in jazz clubs. - Giuliani used in the '90s to shut down gay bars and decimate culture. - Today there are no legal community spaces to dance in most of NYC's neighborhoods and fewer than 100 licensed spaces in all five boroughs. - Arbitrary enforcement creates discrimination today. - Social dancing is a fundamental cultural expression. - I love to dance. It shouldn't be illegal. Tell Your Story: - The value of New York’s constantly emerging new social dance cultures. Mambo and Hip-Hop are among NYC’s contributions to the world. - The grave loss of community spaces, the broad impact. - The frightening first-hand experience of being raided at an event. - The need for progressive New Yorkers to act now and protect the NYC’s status as a cultural safe space, before conservative eras again use the Cabaret Law as a discriminatory tool to decimate cultures. - The dance law is used a “Trojan horse” to get enforcement through the door giving vulnerable communities no safe spaces. - How blanket criminalization of community spaces *for dancing* breaks trust with city government, forcing communities away from life-saving safety resources.
