=====Also Sunday the 29th=====

2/29 Synchronize w Taucher, Joey Beltram

We must say, it’s almost poetic. Not only will February 29th mark the synchronization of our calendar year with the astronomical year, but it will also draw together and align two different worlds operating within the realm of the electronic music scene in New York City. Doojee, known for regularly featuring prominent acts from all over the country and the world, is a serious collective who has heavily supported techno for more than a decade. They consistently deliver events with diverse and often entirely unique lineups that rarely can be seen anywhere else in the metropolitan area. Integrity and Norotek bring almost a decade of combined experience to the table and have been collaborating for almost two years, having most recently brought you last summer’s Sesame Place series of events that gave ravers a frequent outlet for regional talent at an extremely low price. The common characteristic among all involved people in this new event and past affiliated events is value. We’ve always strived to deliver a quality experience with a low price of admission and are now excited to not only continue to keep admission cost low, but also bring you a more comprehensive event that features both new and veteran talent from New York City and beyond, and attracts multiple groups of nightlife, all in truly one of New York City’s finest venues that seems to always be growing and evolving along with the electronic music scene it hosts. So, I guess you could say Exit is in sync as well. In the future, we hope to continue to contribute to and synchronize with the entire New York City electronic music scene, collectively working to provide quality and consistent electronic music events all throughout New York City, alongside our peers, and for the benefit of all. We invite you to please join us in an experience that will offer something both new and familiar, and most importantly, a vibe that there can never be too much of.
