About this Event
On Saturday September 28th, join us under The Big Top.
Step right up; don't be shy! Enter our three-ring circus with amazing musical acts and surprises throughout the evening.
Featuring our head lion tamer Manny Ward with our bear wrangler Red Devil in the big room with the finest selection of tech house and underground sounds.
Manny Ward has always been around music, as most musicians are. His stepdad produced funk and soul, who eventually brought him out to his first club experience at the Funhouse in NYC and the fateful meeting with the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles, who took Manny under his wing and launched his DJ career in NYC.
Through these journeys of following music, then DJ-ing when he was in the military at base parties, then playing alongside Knuckles at New York’s famous Roxy, Sound Factory Bar, and regular gigs at Stereo in Montreal, to eventually producing his own remixes and tracks, this Staten Island boy, saw a dream realized.
This second phase of his career has seen many more milestones as he ramped up his production skills with notable remix opportunities. He has been able to collaborate with many talented producers and musicians, including Celeda. Lula, and DJ Gomi, with whom he reintroduced legendary Sandy B with new original music written by all three performed at Lil’ Louie Vega’s Roots party at Cielo in New York.
Driving the clown car next door in the Foundation Lounge, we have the Night Owl playing a selection of disco, classics, and organ grindr music for your entertainment.
Come join the sexy circus and dress up or dress down. Circus-inspired dress encouraged but not mandatory. Clothes check available.
Earlybird tickets $10, Phase 1 tickets $15 until September 15th at midnight, Phase 2 tickets $20, $25 day of and at the door if available.
21 years old and over only.
