Hi everyone,
It’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you without a good dance party to step to.
If you’re following me on any social media, you probably know that my mental health has been in the shitter and all I’ve been doing is staying home.
But I’m back now to share some shows you should go to this coming week.

Ross from Friends has been one of my favorite electronic acts so I’ll obviously be here tonight, but what’s most exciting about this night at Elsewhere is the option to move back and forth from the Hall to Zone one for some drum & bass.

Mood Ring’s dance floor might be small, but that’s what makes this intimate event all the better. Some of NYC’s most exciting emerging acts are playing, including my favorite person of all time, Swami Sound.

If you want insight into the ariellenyc lore, in 2020, I interviewed Late Night Radio at Gem and Jam and it was the first in-person interview I’ve ever done. I was also in charge of curating a virtual fest and Michal Menert (ex-Pretty Lights member) was my first headliner.
