A new dance club slated to open next month is hitting the NYC nightlife circuit with high hopes of revamping the city’s club scene. District 36, located on 36th Street in Manhattan, is aiming to “revive the tradition of classic New York dance clubs built for dance music enthusiasts,” bringing in a few key players to do so.
The Musical Director behind District 36, Taimur Agha, is the same guy behind the well-known and well-respected BlkMarket Membership parties. Using the same philosophy for booking acts, Agha will create a line-up that’s “based on talent and ability rather than overhyped profiles,” according to the venue’s press release. New York native Victor Calderone is set to bring his EVOLVE DJ residency to the new NYC nightclub, while BlkMarket residents Taimur and Fahad have already been cast as the District 36 resident DJs.
The club has also brought in Lee Blumer (Hammerstein Ballroom, Crobar, M2) to direct their special events and Gary Stewart Audio to design the sound system.
The opening date for District 36 still hasn’t been announced, but Eater did some sleuthing and found a post on the Nokturnalist message board that pegged September 17th as the opening date, with DJs Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg rumored to be spinning the party. Nothing has been confirmed just yet, so stay tuned Clubplanet for updates.
