Best dj & electronic venues in NYC

New York's club scene lives in its outer-borough warehouses. Nowadays in Ridgewood has the best sound system outside Manhattan, a park-sized backyard, and a no-phones floor it actually enforces. Elsewhere in Bushwick stacks three rooms and a rooftop so a live set, a club night, and a sunrise can happen at once. Add 3 Dollar Bill's flagship queer warehouse and Mood Ring's astrology-bar dance floor and you have the heart of the city's electronic underground. We skip the bottle-service rooms and chase the marathon sets, the resident DJs, and the rooms where the music — house, techno, disco, leftfield — is the point. The list is curated and kept current as clubs open, lose leases, and change their nights, so it points you to where the floor is good right now, not where it was.
