Sunday Night Focus: Italo with Ron Like Hell b2b Adrian Marth

Description

For this Sunday night edition of our Focus series, we zone in on the shimmering world of Italo–the synth-heavy, vocoder-laden genre that emerged in Italy in the 1970s and 1980s, born from the collision of hi-NRG's relentless pulse and Euro disco's cosmopolitan glamour. At its inception, Italo was often dismissed for its cheeky sentimentality and refusal to take itself too seriously, but it’s since experienced a resurrection among a new generation of enthusiasts. In the booth are local darling Ron Like Hell, founder of Wrecked, a party series that recently celebrated its 14th anniversary, and Barcelona’s “Catalan prince of darkness” Adrian Marth, founder of the Italo Moderni label that has released tracks from artists like Legowelt, The Hacker, and Djedjotronic. Equally in touch with forgotten gems and modern takes on the genre, this pairing promises a cosmic exploration at the intersection of digital punk, twisted funk, and analog romance. /// Entry is at the discretion of our door staff. Online purchases are limited to four tickets maximum per person. If tickets are sold out here, we always hold a good amount at the door. We will do our best to admit those without tickets but entrance is not guaranteed. Violence, non-consensual touching, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, ageist or other discriminatory language, and leering are not allowed within our walls or in our back yard.

During parties the driveway gate is locked, so please ask staff at the street entrance for assistance with entry. All of our bathrooms are gender-neutral. There is one accessible stall indoors. Just ask any Nowadays staff member for the key, and they can show you the way. During parties, seating is available both on and off the dance floor. While we don’t have a dedicated quiet space indoors during parties, the booths next to coat check are a little quieter, and the deck and back yard a little quieter than that. Most nighttime parties include the use of strobe lights and water based haze.
