Home to the most famous parties in New York, including the circuit party "Alegria" and Victor Calderone’s fierce after-hours "Evolve", Studio is the ultimate NYC mega club. Located in heart of the gritty west Chelsea industrial district, the venue is made up of four former warehouses turned into the biggest dance floor in town. The club boasts a huge main floor, two side rooms, and several bars and many lounge spaces. A mezzanine circles the main floor, leading to the elevated DJ booth, and provides a spectacular view on the festivities. The club is entirely made for dancing, with a thundering sound system, blasting relentless beats over the dance floor, in synch with a mesmerizing and sophisticated light show. The combination of top notch dance music spun by the most respected DJs, extravagant lights and special effects, and an enormous crowd rocking to the fiercest tribal beats make for one of the most powerful clubbing experience in New York. Most night cater to the straight crowd, but with an always gay friendly factor.
On the eve of national holidays takes place the famous Alegria party, a huge circuit party with a worldwide reputation, drawing partygoers from across the country and around the world. It is one of the most spectacular and monumental event of the gay party circuit, bringing together the edgy and underground New York club vibe, with some Latin flavor courtesy of Brazilian promoter Ric Sena. Always high on the production value, Alegria features the relentless tribal mix of resident DJ Abel and amazing visuals and props specially built for the theme of the night. The party is a true marathon of clubbing which often lasts well until the following afternoon. The crowd is an eclectic mix of ethnicities and nationalities, with a sizeable portion made of the shirtless and muscle bound type of men - which sometimes make the event look somehow like a bodybuilding convention.
In its 3 year run, Crobar was home to some of the most defining parties of its time. This cavernous venue was where Ric Sena hosted his world-famous Alegria party, and Victor Calderone re-conquered the title of King of the afterhours.
