BUMP presents: Amelia Holt, Muscle Memory (LIVE) Sweater
After a string of nights that have shaken the underground, BUMP returns to Warehouse on Watts, the space where our founders cut their teeth and a room that has become a sanctuary for those drawn to raw, uncompromising dance energy. This isn’t just another night out; it’s a return to a home that has held our chaos, sweat, and unrelenting yearning. And this time, we’re taking it further. For this edition, we’re introducing a LIVE performance element, adding a new layer of intensity to the night. Expect moments that disrupt, surprise, and elevate the floor in ways only BUMP can deliver. This format weaves live elements into techno sets, reshaping expectations of what a live performance can be on the dance floor. It creates space for experimentation, allowing live artists to reimagine their work within the energy of the room. The lineup hits hard, as always. Amelia Holt (NYC) brings her expertly curated sound, Sweater, a local legend, will guide the floor into peak state, and Muscle Memory LIVE steps into new territory. After meeting with the BUMP team to explore how far this format could be pushed, Muscle Memory will perform a one-time, specially designed set, the first time this specific configuration is presented. Built as an experiment in live expression within a club context, it’s meant to shift expectations and open new space on the dance floor. With extended hours until 3AM, the night has room to breathe, stretch, and build, letting momentum rise naturally and unapologetically. Tickets are more accessible than ever for this night, but with our history of sold-out events, they won’t last. Join us for this return. BUMP is a queer-first party. We ask that you step onto the floor with awareness. These dance floors were built by Queer, Trans, Black, and Brown communities, and we honor that lineage every time the doors open. Safer Space Policy We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for violence, non-consensual contact, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or ageist language, and leering. If something makes you uncomfortable, notify staff immediately, staff will be marked with pink glowsticks. All reports are taken seriously. We reserve the right to remove anyone who violates this policy without refund. Our priority is the safety, dignity, and well-being of everyone in the space. Please respect the venue and the neighborhood. Enter quietly. Leave quietly. Smoking is permitted outside the venue only. Phone use is not permitted on the dance floor; no photos, video, or texting. If you need to use your phone, please step away. Repeat violations may result in removal. We gather to free ourselves, even if only for a moment. Let’s be present together.

BAETRANADA: 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Three years of movement. Three years of cousins. Three years of rhythm doing something to your spine. BAETRANADA is a dance-first experience built on rhythm, repetition, and collective release. Rooted in Black sound and movement, the night flows through house, R&B, Afro-diasporic rhythms, and forward-leaning club sounds—designed for bodies, not spectators. Expect a strong presence of Kaytranada’s music woven throughout the night, alongside adjacent sounds that share the same DNA: warmth, bounce, restraint, and deep groove. The music moves in long, intentional arcs, allowing rhythms to stretch and breathe while keeping the floor locked in. DJs trade energy—not ego—building momentum through feel rather than force. Transitions matter. Repetition becomes hypnotic. The floor leads, and the room responds in real time. B2B moments feel conversational, blending instincts and styles into something singular and unrepeatable. Hosted with warmth and intention, the night celebrates three years of BAETRANADA and LILIANA SAREY’s birthday, grounding the experience in community, joy, and shared movement. LINEUP 🎧 SUN 🎧 BROTHA TAAJ 🎧 AMEERWHO 🎧 RASHAAD B2B POETIK SELEKTIONS 🎤 HOSTED BY LILIANA SAREY 🎨 VISUAL ARTIST Glitch Jungle BAETRANADA is for dancers who come to move, for listeners who feel bass in their spine, and for cousins who arrive solo and leave connected. If you came to dance, this is your room.

He’s cemented his status as one of the most respected spinners around, regularly manning the decks at such hallowed halls as Berlin’s Panorama Bar, London’s XOYO and Tokyo’s Contact, not to mention the world’s best festivals—including, of course Movement. Joining Mike Servito are Curfew resident DJ kraftwitch, along with hosts Icon Ebony-Fierce and Jimmy, and Porkroll residents The Nightowl and Redevil. This one is not to be missed. What we believe in: Queer positivity, there’s no room for racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, or transphobia. We’re here to dance together and to celebrate good music. Whether it’s house, disco, acid, or polka, we are about having a good time and looking out for each other.
