Big List of Promoters Broken Down by Genre
Here is a big list of promoters throwing parties in NYC broken down by Genre. This should help you decide which parties on RA/Facebook/EDM Train would be your style. Feel free comment below to suggest additions and edits and I will update the list. This list was originally compiled from posts HERE
Big Thanks to everyone who contributed
Burner/Melodic/Organic house:
ZERO - Big events that are themed
Elevation - Like Zero parties but not themed
You Are So Lucky - Big events that happen usually on big nights a couple of times a year. Very high level of performance art
Members Only - good vibes, features local talent and big names
BABËL - Upscale Burner crowd, very international
Dévotion - Occasional events that feature great organic/melodic talent
Bespoke Muzik - more adult affair. Think well curated both musically and crowd wise. Not so much costumes and more experience. There's a slight burner influence but think a bit faster than the worldly slow house that is popular in that realm.
Vibe Tribe NY - Newer Promoter that produces immersive parties with sexy / dark deep house.
Deep House:
I FEEL - Deephouse burner crowd. Monthly party with a theme.
Disco:
Mister Saturday Night (Although they play House/Disco) they own the venue "Nowadays" in Brooklyn.
DnB/Jungle:
Konkrete Jungle NYC - host weekly parties at the delancey with some solid lineups
BP2 - always good vibes
Driven AM - brings some really great talent
Dub:
Sermon - Lots of deep dub, heavier bass stuff. The vibes are always amazing and its grown to be a nice little community around the parties.
Dubconsciousness - Very small and intimate.
The Rust - weird deep dub and psybass. They do stuff with Sermon pretty often now
Hard Dance:
Sounds So Sweet (often is multi-genre) - a pretty old school feel with kandi kids, flow props, and a smallish community so you get to make friends you see all the time
Contrast - a pretty old school feel with kandi kids, flow props, and a smallish community so you get to make friends you see all the time
Hard Dance/Multi-gen:
Ravers Unite NYC - smaller events, almost always free, sometimes a bit far out location-wise though
Serious Sound - often do collabs with other promoters but worth following
Ravers Only - been around for awhile, have a lot of showcases, but sometimes throw their own standalone parties
Moombah :
Multi Genre:
Mean Red - (diverse offering of artists hosted at different clubs and venues around Brooklyn)
Bang On - (mix of dub, trop house, tech house, deep house and melodic house. Usually a good burner vibe but thats changing a littley. They usually throw bigger festival type events. Production value has gotten pretty high.)
Made Event - (Electric Zoo promoter. Usually big EDM names but also responsible for parties like Elrow and Anjunadeep)
PsyTrance:
Global PsyTeam
Psycheground
Techno:
ReSolute - a bit bigger but bring an underground feel. A bit on the minimal side and parties usually dont get going till afterhours and go to laaaate
Bunker - a bit bigger but bring an underground feel
Auxilarate - run by a redditor, always a friendly crowd and good tunes
Techno/house:
Cityfox - A couple years in CityFox is still throwing the best house and techno party's in around. At least large scale.
Teksupport - Mostly techno with some tech house and deep house. Big events typically hosted in warehouse type spaces
UNTER - Semi-private party, sometimes available to the public, tends to be a tougher door. The parties I've been to focused on the harder side of techno, but I think they'll book the occasional house/disco DJs as well.
Sublimate- Parties aren't frequent, but when they happen, they're great. House and techno.
Mutual Dreaming- Aurora Halal's party. Leftfield house and techno.
UNION - Newer upstart party, house and techno focused. Good people and good party
Mister nice Guy NYC - House/ tech/ techno / deep house / etc.
Bushwick A/V- Afterhours that has a permanent at 299 vandervoort. Usually has good acts but the crowd can be hit or miss and they don't serve drinks from 4-8am on Saturday mornings and 4-10am on sunday mornings
Soup NYC-been throwing House parties forever and bring in some great acts
Matte Projects - Half creative agency half party producers, they throw the awesome Black parties
Trance:
Pandamonium - up-and-coming that has thrown a few good parties recently.
Eris Revolution - Revolution is Eris' monthly progressive & trance event. The second Saturday of every month shall be dedicated to local artists with both deep and uplifting sounds as well as international guests.
