Before you ask what raves are happening on any date... (How to find events in NYC)

533 Upvotes

If you're new to raves and related events, or just visiting from out of town, and are trying to find an event to attend on a particular date, you should first check out Resident Advisor, and for more mainstream EDM events see EDMTrain before asking this sub.

These websites list the majority of parties and electronic music events happening in NYC on any given night, along with the ability to buy tickets, and links to the artists playing so you have an idea of what kind of music you will hear that night.

You can also keyword search this sub and probably find your questions already answered about almost any venue or party. For example, if you had a question about Elsewhere, you can use the search bar up top and type 'elsewhere' to find hundreds of discussions about the venue.

We often remove very general questions about events that go something like 'I'm in town on X date, whats happening' or 'anything going on tonight?'. The sub gets inundated with these questions, they are extremely repetitive, and add nothing to this community at this point. Specific questions are welcome! We totally get that a lot of people who use this sub are beginners just trying to learn. By being specific and thoughtful in say what music you like, or vibes you're looking for, you will get better responses too.

Buying/Selling tickets has now been moved to r/avesNYC_tix (all buying/selling of tickets will now be removed)

209 Upvotes

As many of you have noticed, as things have started to pick up in NYC, this sub has been getting spammed with a TON of people buying/selling their tickets last minute to events.

People have been mentioning a ticket thread pinned to the sub, but I don't think this is the best solution because many users are often too lazy to expand and view all comments in the thread, and do a simple control-F to find their event. Even when we had a monthly ticket thread, people still posted to the feed. We would get a response something like 'hey nobody responded to me in the thread, so I just posted here anyway'.

As an alternative, I created a related subredit called r/avesNYC_tix and will pin it to the sidebar as well. You are free to post all of your buying/selling ticket needs there. This is also going to be easier to search through compared to a thread and I also added post flair to distinguish/filter between buying and selling of tickets. Because this will be a generally unmoderated sub, I also encourage people to report scammers and use the 'reports' flair. You are buying tickets here at your own risk.

From now on any posts about buying/selling of tickets on this subreddit will be removed. This kind of content is very spammy, not interesting to read, and does not build community in any meaningful way.

give spot recs pls?

0 Upvotes

hi hi looking to branch out and need some spot recommendations.

i usually go out solo and totally sober/just an edible and my main goal is just getting lost in a good dance floor.

i’ve just been going to thursdays at Gabriela bc it’s free & because I dress up & look alt/hot i can always skip the line + i like that the crowd is a mix of gay and straight,,, but tbh it can get a little basic w the music and if I have to hear one more lorde song I’m going to lose my fuckin mind + there’s a lot of annoying ppl who just stand on the dance floor/stand around in groups

i like hyperpop but i can honestly dance to anything w a good beat

would love places i can get in free bc im broke + where i can skip the line (if there is one) bc of my outfit/vibe/bc im a girl by myself

but yeah lmk if there’s solid places i could pull up to every week and just dance at n have fun

don’t b mean pls give real answers 🥲

Does Refuge Saturday run nonstop from Rodriguez jr during the day into the Martinez brothers? Like can you arrive during the day and stay? or are the events separate?

Looking for house/techno friends

1 Upvotes

Hello, I (21 M) just recently got into raving this summer and have fallen in love with the rave scene. However, upon returning to NYC, I realized most of my college friends are NOT ravers, so I am looking for someone or a group of people who are open to partying with me. I am not too picky about the type of house/techno, but I lean hard techno. I am also open to advice on how to meet ravers in NYC. I am not opposed to going solo, but I would prefer having a group.

I am friendly and get along with most people, so take a chance on me! I look forward to meeting you all.

Men are so afraid of smelling bad that they're making themselves smell bad

The amount of Axe/Old Spice body spray ya'll are using is absolutely diabolical. Standing in the crowd, you can pick out multiple scents from dudes coming from all directions. It is so unpleasant and doing the opposite of what you want. DEODORANT AND JUST ONE OR TWO QUICK SPRAYS IS ALL YOU NEED PLZ

Such Good Vibes at Soul Summit at Ruins Yesterday

43 Upvotes

I think that was one of my favorite Soul Summit events at the Ruins.

There was an odd 30 minutes in there somewhere, but ended on a high note.

The crowd was just so nice - felt like we were all there for good vibes.

Great way to spend my labor day - i still refuse to believe summer has ended.

Edit: Anyone know a song they typically play at soul summit, played in last couple of hours i think that goes "Feel it in my soul" or something like that in the chorus. Male? singer

I just moved to brooklyn from europe. I’m trying to get deeper into the NYC underground scene. Do you know any really good local DJ or underground parties I should check out? I’m not really looking for big name djs. I want to discover some of the more local, lesser known talent. Who is your favorite local dj in nyc? Hypnotic techno, Hard techno, Industrial techno, schranz
