WRECKED: Volvox / Day Thief / Abajour / Ron Like Hell / Ryan Smith
About This Event
WRECKED at BASEMENT assembles a five-act electronic bill: Volvox, Day Thief, Abajour, Ron Like Hell and Ryan Smith. Volvox and Day Thief favor techno- and house-rooted sets built on tight transitions and controlled pacing; Abajour brings a breakbeat-leaning, club-tradition approach, while Ron Like Hell is presented as a collaborative performance concept.
About Wrecked 15 Year Anniversary
Wrecked marks its 15-year anniversary with a late-night program of electronic music at BASEMENT in New York City. The lineup—Markus, Dr. Rubinstein, Mike Servito, Rose Kourts, and Jen Cardini—maps a lineage of DJ craft built on pacing, pressure, and the social logic of the dance floor. The night functions less as a retrospective than as a living record of how queer nightlife organizes community through sound. One clear takeaway is its commitment to continuity over novelty.
