That was a fantastic and fantastically honest piece. Super-helpful. It’s not just New York, either. Dance music is suffering all over the US, which is sad, since we pioneered it. This country needs another Disco Era to bring us back to our senses/sensuality!!!!

Anyay, I’m coming to New York with my wife for the first time in several years, and I didn’t know where to go until I read this. Thank you! Can’t wait to dance!

I would love to check out this party, but Monday night is definitely not ideal for me (and many trance lovers). Any chance you may be throwing a party on the weekend soon?

UPDATE: As of 2/14/11 we’re throwing our weekly progressive trance and house party every Monday a hot LES intimate venue called Stay, 244 E Houston St, bet Aves (A & B)

It’s amazing how often we’ve heard that much of gay new york is hungry for uplifting/progressive/vocal/hiNrgy trance, and how there’s no regular party in the city. So we did something about it and started throwing small parties at places like Star Lounge, Los Feliz, Webster Hall and Karma. Our party is mixed, our following has grown, and we’re no longer NYC’s best kept secret for trance fans anymore.

Our mantra is “Trance Mansion is a place where attitudes and inhibitions are checked at the door. Peace, love, unity and freedom will be our religion for the night.” In addition to our club nights we also host picnics, pilgrimages to trance concerts and other events. Check us out and/or get on our list trancemansion@gmail.com

We’ve graduated to hosting a mixed weekly progressive/trance party at the Balcony Lounge at Webster Hall every Thursday starting 4/15/10.

Circuit queens and their dj’s killed the dance scene in NYC, by making crap meth-music their backdrop to body display. Dancing, nuance, and the concept of a shared musical journey is secondary to this crowd.

In London people like David Mancuso are REVERED!
Come check out Horse Meat Disco.

You cheesy abercrombie queens need to learn it!

How about checking out house dance international—you might even learn some new steps.
Some of the balls seem pretty fierce too. (i.e. Latex Ball, etc).

In reference to Phil’s comment,this is what I was trying to point out in the other post.Notice that we have to wait for big one-off dance events to happen in this city when it comes to looking for dance music and dance floor excitement
Work! (since it doesnt have a permanent home)
Saint @ Large events
Alegria
This is why we need a big club.
We may not need 5 or 6 of them like back in the 90s but we still should have a big club night on the weekends. Again,in a city as big as New York,its a pretty good idea to have options

Thanks so much for finally writing an actual synopsis of the non existent Gay Dance Scene in NYC. Since the Roxy closed in 2007, New York has no longer become the destination for a night of dance and merriment for the gay population…. It would appear that John Blair has tried to convert Splash to a mini Roxy, but that is so not the case…. Every time we go, it just seems so sterile and commercial, with people trying to have a good time. Alas, I guess we’ll just have to wait, for the next installment of a great dance club in NYC. At least we can look forward to the Black Party at Roseland, for a night of dance floor excitement.

Hey guys, loved the comments on NYC club scene – very informative. We’re coming to NYC from Sydney for New Years this December and looking for recommendations what to do. We’re interested in bar-hopping but also looking for a big night out on 31 December. We’re uplifting vocal house / anthems sort of people, so any ideas? Really looking forward to the visit.
