All you need for a great party is good music, a good soundsystem and a curated set of guests. Remember David Mancuso's The Loft? I think what's been missing from the scene recently is a shared societal ideal that gives club etiquette and niche identity some structure and context. We are all just trying to fit in, so why not create and design your own space?
I started throwing parties in my loft at the beginning of 2023, and quickly found a community of people who resonated deeply with the intersectional art space I was trying to create. This party grew so rapidly that after the first two iterations, we had to move to a bigger venue (and sold it out!). This became the birth of the artist collective, WE ARE THE FUTURE!
