Info

Moonrise is a beacon of electronic music culture nestled in the heartbeat of New York City, a venue where the pulsating rhythms of techno and house find a home amidst the city's vibrant nightlife. Established in 2010, Moonrise quickly carved a niche for itself as a go-to destination for both seasoned electronic music aficionados and curious newcomers seeking to immerse themselves in the genre's mesmerizing beats. Originally located in a converted warehouse in Brooklyn, the club's industrial aesthetic was both a nod to the underground roots of electronic music and a canvas for cutting-edge visual installations.

Over the years, Moonrise's reputation blossomed, thanks in part to its commitment to fostering a diverse lineup of artists and a community-driven ethos that prioritized inclusivity and the shared experience of music. As the electronic music scene in New York evolved, so too did Moonrise. In 2018, the venue underwent a significant transformation, relocating to a larger, purpose-built space in Manhattan's Lower East Side.

This move allowed for enhanced acoustics and state-of-the-art lighting systems that elevated the sensory experience for attendees. The new location, with its sprawling dance floors and intimate lounge areas, continued to embrace the raw, industrial charm of its predecessor while offering modern amenities that catered to the club's growing and diverse audience. Moonrise holds a special place in the cultural tapestry of New York's nightlife, often highlighted for its role in bringing international talent to the city while simultaneously nurturing local artists.

It stands as a testament to the city's dynamic music scene, where the exchange of ideas and sounds between global and local spheres is not only encouraged but celebrated. The club's programming is known for its adventurous spirit, often featuring extended sets that allow artists to explore their creative boundaries and engage deeply with the audience. Notable artists who have graced the decks at Moonrise include international heavyweights like Nina Kraviz, Solomun, and Black Coffee, whose performances have left indelible marks on the club's history.

Equally significant are the local talents such as The Martinez Brothers, Honey Dijon, and Danny Tenaglia, who have not only played pivotal roles in shaping the electronic music landscape in New York but have also found a supportive platform at Moonrise to showcase their evolving artistry. This blend of international and local acts cements Moonrise's status as a cornerstone of New York’s vibrant and ever-evolving electronic music scene.
