Sometimes I’m bad about getting this out before the Thursday parties, but this week there is just too much going on so I redoubled my efforts. Tonight you can check out Italian boogie edit kings Tiger & Woods at the Good Room, or Eli Escobar from Tiki Disco at hot new C’mon Everybody, or catch if you’re looking for something more mellow, catch Ben Manzone at the weekly Air a Danser party at Battery Harris.
While you’re here, we recently launching a podcast where we interview DJs, and the debut episode is out. First up is YDH2S’s own Lepaux, who talks about some of his favorite recent dance tracks and songs from Brazil, where he was born.
As always, if you don’t see something you like posted here in the newsletter, check out our full listings for the week on the website for way more parties. These are just the cream of the crop.

GLOOMSPOTTING: Feeling Gloomy Takes on Trainspotting
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a dance party celebrating the best film featuring a bunch of Scottish junkies and a baby whose head rotates in place… oh and a killer soundtrack. That’s right, we’re doing a party dedicated to one of our favorite movies of the 90s. Here’s what we have lined up so far:
THE WORST TOILET IN BROOKLYN

SEAN CONNERY IMPERSONATION CONTEST

GORDON GLOOM’S BDAY!

+ DJs Gordon and Nathaniel Gloom playing all your favorite songs from both Trainspotting soundtracks (Iggy Pop, Underworld, Pulp, Sleeper, etc.) plus their 90s contemporaries and all of your usual gloomy anglophilic faves
