If you were out for last year’s first installment of Dark Disco then you know what mayhem will ensue for it’s second edition! This party will also mark Dark Disco as a brand new quarterly affair from  Meanred and Good Peoples at club Element, which will be getting a total makeover to accommodate all the insanity!

Our good friend and collaborator The Vidiot AKA Yr Friend Matthew, from the Bloglin’s own Kill With Video series will be providing the club some new skin through a series of tripped out imagery edited from the series. It’s sure to send you to a higher level of being over 7 hours of non stop music come this Sunday.

Headlining the night is UK Garage legend, MJ Cole, who returns from a hiatus to continue the club scene onslaught he started in the 90s. He recently released the Riddim EP on Prolific Recordings featuring the above dance floor smasher, “Volcano Riddim.”

This mini-festival will also play host to Ikonika’s first performance on U.S. soil. Ikonika brings an innovative, glitchy 8-bit approach to the more ethereal, deeper side of Dubstep.Trust me if you’re a fan of Dubstep, you won’t want to miss her first appearance here! Check out Ikonika’s recent podcast for XLR8R featuring tracks from her debut album Contact, Love, Want, Have on Hyperdub Records.

But that isn’t all Dark Disco has planned for the evening. Among the clubs two floors you’ll see many more DJ’s including sets from Werk label founder Actress along with Worthy of San Francisco’s Dirty Bird. This is going to be one hell of a night that is going to lay one solid foundation for what will be one of NYC’s new premiere quarterly dance events.
