As summer begins to wind down and reality starts to kick in, the seasonal parties begin to dwindle down. But luckily for New Yorkers, on Thursday night, Levi’s and Boiler Room came together to throw the ultimate party in Brooklyn.

Kicking off Labour Day weekend, the party celebrated artists and creatives who go against the grain with their craft. With everything from open DJ sets and interactive installations to performances from some of the city’s most exciting talent, the party had something for everyone.

For those who could not make it below we broke down what went down.

IT WAS IN A WAREHOUSE IN BROOKLYN

Hosted at The Chocolate Factory, in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn the party held hundreds of attendees – who began queuing up from 4pm. Throughout the venue, there were different TV installations and the live streams of the dancefloor that brought the audience into the action and welcomed attendees to step into the spotlight. The result saw authentic moments from the night shared amidst first time performances and party goers celebrating the collective experience and community present.

THE LINEUP CALLED UP NYC’S MOST EXCITING NAMES

Canadian-born boysinblush opened up the night, warming up the crowd for the evening. The night then shifted into epic sets from Anna Luna and Sausha, before Evil Giane went back-to-back with Eera.

THERE WERE OPEN DECK SETS 

Aside from the stellar lineup, Levi’s x Boiler Room championed different up-and-coming talents. Picked from an open call, six different emerging DJs got the chance to perform at the party. Each winner had ten minutes to play a mini set and get the taste of playing a large venue. The six winners were Ali RQ, Eliquis, Nezerat, SEAWEED, Miss XXX Hoochie, and Arra.

SNOW STRIPPERS HEADLINED THE NIGHT

Known for their prominence during the revival of indie sleaze, the viral duo Tatiana Schwaninger and Graham Perez of Snow Strippers rose to fame with their signature take on electroclash and EDM revival in 2021. Shutting the night down, their performance was arguably the highlight of the whole evening. 

NEW YORK CITY’S FINEST WERE IN ATTENDANCE

While the night was open to members of the public, some of the city’s most prominent creatives also showed up. Key guests included the likes of: Amanda Hercules, Angel Asuncion, Chase Dexter, Duron Simons, Emi Vu, Frost Children, Hawa, Iris Luz, Kava Vasquez, Keo Diamanté, King Abdo, Leeanna Mosley Williams, Liv Collins, Memphy, Manny Omitto, Matt Weinberger, Mel Ramirez, Michael Chima, Show Ponii, Sherry Poppins, Snake Ninja, Milan Wheaton and Tyler Mazaheri.
