A new venue called Basement is opening in New York City that will focus on showcasing "top and up-and-coming techno talents from all over the world."

The new venue will feature a state-of-the-art, Funktion-One surround-sound system and a custom 360-degree lighting rig throughout the space. All events will be 21+ and attendees will be required to adhere to a set of house rules, including no photo or video as well as a safer space policy.



Based underneath the main hall of Knockdown Center in Queens, Basement is set to open on May 10 with a headline performance from Rebekah, while the following night will see DVS1 take over.
