On August 30, Public Records hosts a night where the city’s pulse syncs with the enduring momentum of contemporary dance culture. Justin Strauss, a storied figure whose eclectic selections have shaped decades of New York nightlife, sets the tone, bridging foundational influences and future-focused sonics. Alongside, HONEY B draws from a palette steeped in deep, emotive resonance, steering the energy with dynamic, groove-centric cuts.

Donis and VARSHA heighten the spectrum, offering intricate blends that traverse rhythmic boundaries and expose ambient textures beneath each beat. Sevyn brings a refined sensibility, mapping a sound that is both immersive and unpredictable. Rounding out the bill, Darone Sassounian distills kinetic energy and leftfield expressions into the late hours, tying together a lineup engineered for full-bodied movement and electronic communion.

With a cast navigating divergent threads of techno, house, and nuanced club mutations, this night at Public Records is engineered for those who find liberation on the dancefloor and inspiration at the intersection of past, present, and the next-up.
