DJ & electronic shows in New York this week
This week's DJ list is basically a tour of Bushwick after midnight, with a few essential detours. Bossa Nova Civic Club for sweaty no-frills techno, Paragon and Mood Ring a few blocks over, House of Yes when you want the spectacle. Down in Gowanus, Public Records runs the hi-fi room for heads who care about the sound system; out in Maspeth, the Ruins at Knockdown Center go big and late. These aren't bottle-service clubs. They're the rooms where the cover is $10–25, the booking is the draw, and the night doesn't really start till 1am. Hop the L to Jefferson or Morgan and you're within stumbling distance of three of them. Weekend bills lock late, so the list keeps updating as promoters confirm — check Thursday for the full Friday/Saturday picture.
If you only catch one: Disco Tehran - Rooftop Party in New York at Elsewhere is the one to clear your night for.
