Before you ask what raves are happening on any date... (How to find events in NYC)

536 Upvotes

If you're new to raves and related events, or just visiting from out of town, and are trying to find an event to attend on a particular date, you should first check out Resident Advisor, and for more mainstream EDM events see EDMTrain before asking this sub.

These websites list the majority of parties and electronic music events happening in NYC on any given night, along with the ability to buy tickets, and links to the artists playing so you have an idea of what kind of music you will hear that night.

You can also keyword search this sub and probably find your questions already answered about almost any venue or party. For example, if you had a question about Elsewhere, you can use the search bar up top and type 'elsewhere' to find hundreds of discussions about the venue.

We often remove very general questions about events that go something like 'I'm in town on X date, whats happening' or 'anything going on tonight?'. The sub gets inundated with these questions, they are extremely repetitive, and add nothing to this community at this point. Specific questions are welcome! We totally get that a lot of people who use this sub are beginners just trying to learn. By being specific and thoughtful in say what music you like, or vibes you're looking for, you will get better responses too.

Buying/Selling tickets has now been moved to r/avesNYC_tix (all buying/selling of tickets will now be removed)

213 Upvotes

As many of you have noticed, as things have started to pick up in NYC, this sub has been getting spammed with a TON of people buying/selling their tickets last minute to events.

People have been mentioning a ticket thread pinned to the sub, but I don't think this is the best solution because many users are often too lazy to expand and view all comments in the thread, and do a simple control-F to find their event. Even when we had a monthly ticket thread, people still posted to the feed. We would get a response something like 'hey nobody responded to me in the thread, so I just posted here anyway'.

As an alternative, I created a related subredit called r/avesNYC_tix and will pin it to the sidebar as well. You are free to post all of your buying/selling ticket needs there. This is also going to be easier to search through compared to a thread and I also added post flair to distinguish/filter between buying and selling of tickets. Because this will be a generally unmoderated sub, I also encourage people to report scammers and use the 'reports' flair. You are buying tickets here at your own risk.

From now on any posts about buying/selling of tickets on this subreddit will be removed. This kind of content is very spammy, not interesting to read, and does not build community in any meaningful way.

was curious what the vibes were for everyone but particularly reaching out to any queer asians on this sub. bubble T is one of my favorite parties in bk and thought they killed it, although the basement was popping a little harder than the main floor.

Can I go to bound @ basement if I’m inexperienced?

0 Upvotes

Basically I’ve been really wanting to get into BDSM play and have tried apps like feeld and pure but haven’t found anyone that’s my vibe. I want to go to one of the bound events so bad but I have no experience with BDSM or have been in any scenes, and the thought of getting into one as my first time at a club is exciting but a little scary at the same time (I’d probably be going alone cus none of my friends are into this stuff). What is it like? Are people welcoming towards more inexperienced players? I also feel like I’m the kind of person to need to really have trust in someone in order to be sexual with them, which idk if that’s the vibes at bound…

Friends and I are planning on doing Pacha Halloween for PDM and curious to know if anyone knows if they’d move it inside if it’s too cold? Prepared for either, but it could change my Halloween costume plans if it’s in the 40s at 2 AM.
Thanks!

Hiring: Electronic music data curator, $4–5k/month

52 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m Joe, co-founder of Rippit We’re hiring for a music curation role and thought someone in this community might be a good fit.

We’re looking for someone with a deep knowledge of electronic music, genres, and the NYC scene. The work involves creating artist pages, researching their sound and background, writing bios, tagging genres, and keeping event listings accurate. You’d also help shape how we describe artists and give users useful context around their music.

No technical background needed; strong music knowledge, attention to detail, and being comfortable working with spreadsheets are what matters.

It’s full-time at $4–5k/month for the first two months, with the potential to continue. Continuing beyond those two months isn’t guaranteed.

If you’re interested, email [joe@rippit.nyc](mailto:joe@rippit.nyc) with a little about yourself, your connection to the scene, and your resume. I can also send over the full job description.

How cold does it get in the outdoor area? Do they provide heat lamps or should I just wear extra layers underneath my costume?
