060409 Powerstrip Circus Launch Party! sponsored by Ableton @ Coco66

20090611-psc-launchloc

This is it everyone. One of the best line-ups Powerstrip Circus has put together. An all out dance party of LIVE performers and DJ’s, VJ’s, hosted by ViceLounge’s Tyren Allen, well-known through NYC’s five boroughs… and a new addition to the PSC Collective.

Coco66 just might be brought to the ground after we’re done loading it up with Earth shattering booty bouncin’ bass, and flooded by the amounts of drinks needed for such an expensive cast of performers and a CHEAP (ONLY 5 BUCKS) night.

Don’t believe us? Then check the links below!

Also, tons and tons of free giveaway Powerstrip Circus goodies! Free PSC shirts and goodies, courtesy of CutandSewn.com! Tons of drinks and dancing…what more could you want the beginning of June!

The Future Is Beautiful is a monthly event dedicated to bringing you the best electronic music that NYC has to offer. Our approach is simple and two-fold: by focusing on local talent rather than a genre or style, we shed a spot light on, and provide a forum for the variety of producers, performers and musicians that emanate from NYC. Additionally, we partner with like minded organizations from other urban centers, such as Philly, London, Chicago, Boston, LA and Berlin to provide a portal from which artists from those cities can connect to and perform for an open minded and supportive audience here.
