Re-Introduce Friction (RIF) is a music-forward, phone-free party series amplifying the genres and club sounds of the Black and African Diaspora. We highlight how Black music and cultures are inherently interconnected, while deeply embracing queerness, connection and collective expression through dance.
Our longest-running all-vinyl dance party, SHAKE!, returns every second Saturday, showing all the love to 70s/80s NYC nightlife. Join residents DJ Prestige and Monk-One , as they combine high-level talent with nostalgia for one of the defining eras of clubbing in the city that never sleeps!!
