RESOLUTE X NINA KRAVIZ + UMFANG

New year resolution 2017 was to see Nina Kraviz play, and what better way to close this crazy year that to see her play b2b with UMFANG in the early morning. The venue was magnificent, but the cover $$$ was insane and the bathroom situation not up to par with the party. Aside from that, it was a dope time and everyone was well behaved! Power DJs in the booth, more photos at NoSleep.co + new track right below!

🎶what’s the name of this club? I can’t remember but it’s alright alright🎶 Big story by @correality in the Times today about #letnycdance. Big thanks to our city council, especially @rlespinal and @cmlauriecumbo for supporting nightlife. This law sets the new standard laid out by Amsterdam Night Mayor @mirikmilan: city legislation cannot be considered effective until it helps the mainstream as well as the underground. Rock on: @danceliberation @houseofyesnyc @bossanovacivicclub @secretprojectrobot! (at Lovely Day)

🙌The City of New York is getting a Nightlife Mayor. Pack MARKET HOTEL with underground heroes from across the city to tell the Comissioners: #SaveNYCSpaces. This artist-led event is the only chance for public input. Cultures that inspire the world are born and grow here in NYC's diverse grassroots spaces. They should be preserved, not targeted nor forced out of existance by the affordability crisis. The Night Mayor's job should be to #SaveNYCSpaces not amplify gentrification. Help those who need it. #LetNYCDance #ImproveDontEvict #NightlifeHelpDesk #Nightlife4All
