Across two nights, BASEMENT celebrates seven years with a lineup of key artists, residents and friends. When the club opened in 2019, it was just one room with only techno represented. Since those early days, it's grown into something much larger than we expected. The opening of STUDIO, collaborations with international collectives, a roster of residents and a thriving community built around some of NY’s best artists and dancers; the BASEMENT that exists today is more than a dream come true. Marcel Dettmann headlines the first night. The Berlin artist is one of the few names who can lay legitimate claim to the modern techno landscape. As one of Berghain’s foundational residents, Dettmann helped mold the template that countless artists would follow. On his own MDR label, he has curated a vision of the genre that’s as spacious as it is impactful. And in his sets, Dettmann has proven himself to be a superlative auteur. We are honored to host him for this special set. Over and over again, NDRX has shown us why he is one of the best in the game today. His lithe, grooving techno uses sparse ingredients for maximum effect, like a sushi chef carefully selecting only the highest-grade fish. Smoky, simmering, nasty - NDRX instantly captivates and holds your attention until the moment he decides to let go. Resident LYDO joins these two. Many DJs have made their mark in NY, but few flow quite like LYDO. The X-TRA.Services founder has consistently sought new pathways to transcendence. They are an artist in constant evolution, but the throughline has always been an intuitive, pulsating energy that coes together with fluid clarity. The Carry Nation have commanded STUDIO more times than we can count. The duo of Will Automagic and Nita Aviance are modern masters, full stop. No one is playing house music quite like they do; The Carry Nation embodies the full history of the genre with its queer lineages and myriad crosscurrents while tying it all together with their own personal point of view and delectable b2b chemistry. Eau De Cologne founder Natuta steps back into the room for a proper smackdown. Mixing sumptuous perfection with pure filth, Natuta has tipped STUDIO over the edge more than a few times. e-Lite returns to dose the room in the effervescent, sparkling house that is their calling card. Over the last couple years, e-Lite’s presence in NY has grown, with a run of gigs across many of the city’s best parties. Their previous stops in STUDIO have been standout affairs. This will be special.

Len Faki and Octave One return to the Main Hall alongside Volvox on April 25. Faki has become one of Knockdown Center's signature artists. A maestro of thundering, industrial-grade techno, Faki has been one of the defining voices of the genre in the 21st century. Active since the mid-90s, his accolades are beyond reproach: a resident of Berghain since its opening, label boss for the essential Figure imprint, a prolific catalog of original productions... this just scratches the surface. More than three decades into his career, Faki remains a force of nature. Detroit pioneers Octave One are back in the room with what may be the best live set in techno. Landmark producers, their sprawling discography is essential listening for fans of true techno and house, with 2000's "Blackwater" considered by many to be the greatest house track ever produced. Their euphoric live sets see the two Burden brothers extend their singular vision with a studio's worth of hardware. It's a journey you do not want to miss. NY's Volvox opens the night. She is one of the standout artists of the current generation. A fixture of the city's scene for over a decade, Volvox's impeccable craft and unflinching vision have made her a mainstay at BASEMENT, WIRE and many of the city's best clubs.

The second night of our anniversary weekend is a massive blowout with the most artists in a single lineup in the history of the club. Following Friday’s initial blowout, we continue to celebrate seven years of growth and evolution, from a one-room, techno-only club into our current formation with STUDIO, a cast of incredible residents and so much more. First things first: BASEMENT invites techno honcho Boris back into the room. One of genre’s definitive voices, Boris has been a key driver of modern techno. What sets him apart is his unwavering artistic integrity and genuine interest in what’s happening now. Boris remains as vital as ever, epitomizing the best of techno at every turn. Juliana Huxtable’s worldbuilding and innovative sense of experimentation are peerless. A hero of NY’s underground, Huxtable is a true multidisciplinary artist who also stands as a modern master DJ. Sol Ortega joins the lineup, making the long flight from Argentina. Ortega’s pumped up, glistening techno embraces the best of the old school: rock solid grooves, acidic meltdowns and timeless synths. Mos steps back into the booth. One of the best of the next generation, Mos’ command of granite-thick techno is beyond reproach. Over the past couple years, he has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Altær founder Auspex goes head-to-head with cotton. Two of the city’s most intense and potent DJs, this is a meeting of the minds of epic proportions. Finally, Concrete Husband’s mastery of both sublime beauty and libidinous intensity makes him one of the most singular artists in NY today. One minute, he’s writing stunning modern composition, the next crafting some of the most thundering techno out there today. Sedef Adasï leads a who’s who in STUDIO. Adasï is, of course, the Turkish-born phenom. Her genre-agnostic sets straddle the line between classic and futuristic, bombastic and mysterious, always stitched together with intuitive grace. And of course Adasï’s HAMAM Nights has become one of the most respected series in dance music today, bringing together an international community of artists whose work breaks the mold. Gabrielle Kwarteng embodies house like few others today. NY-born, Berlin-based, Kwarteng’s sets hit with an immediacy that cannot be faked. In her hands, house is both raw and refined, moving with equal parts urgency and sensual poise. Jason Kendig is a name that will be familiar to anyone who has spent any time in STUDIO. One of the room’s most regular bookings, Kendig brings a pop of color and a dose of sentimentality to the dance floor. The man is a national treasure. Makadsi fogs all lenses with a dose of steamy, modern house. A regular in STUDIO, the Function organizer is a lynchpin of the modern queer underground. Kilopatrah Jones serves up some always-needed soul. Jones is a DJ whose buoyant sets invariably deliver a dose of unfettered joy to any room she’s in. Sterling Juan Diaz has become an inescapable presence in NY’s lifetime. And thankfully so, because he is a world class DJ. Blending his Dominican Republic roots with raw club sounds from across the spectrum, Diaz’s vital energy never falters.
