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.

Visual storytelling comes alive through Glitch Jungle, turning Warehouse on Watts into a glowing, shifting environment where the lights and graphics move with the music.

CURFEW x PORKROLL present MIKE SERVITO
On Saturday, November 29, Curfew is teaming up with Philadelphia queer dance party staple Porkroll to present Detroit-born but long embedded in NYC’s underground DJ legend Mike Servito. 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.
