HOT TAKE : Partying is for everyone. Running a party is not. It has never been easier to organise a party.A few friends, a small venue, an online ticket link, a lineup found in DMs, two LED spots bought second-hand, and suddenly we’re talking about a “collective”, a “project”, a “vision”.

You meet bookers on a dancefloor glowing with strobe. The night functions as a workspace as much as a social space. And […]
The dance floor is not a content factory The dance floor is not a content factory. It is, or should remain, one of the last places where the gaze stops judging, where you can simply be, without having to narrate yourself. Yet a new breed of actors has invaded the night: the so-called “nightlife content […]
While others stream for likes, Carl Cox plays for 7 hours When we say we’re watching a real DJ with long streams, this is exactly the kind of set we mean. Let’s skip the fact that it’s UNVRS (yes, we do love Ibiza, but… the hyper-clubs and their prices aren’t really our thing). We’re here […]
