- SUMMARY:”This Friday you are invited to an event of simple pleasure and sordid secrets. A cozy Brooklyn basement space has been converted into a lush play land of hookahs and dark corners, broken visuals and driving beats.
Throughout the space we’ve hidden dozens of secrets: micro-bottles of whiskey, toys for big girls and boys and one golden ticket that awards you the super-secret grand prize (an award that will *not* be forgotten.)
Featuring dark dancy beats and moments of pure escapism in two rooms of sound.”
