Past combos include:

YELP REVIEWS OF PSYCHICS to the tune of TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF PROFESSORS to the tune of VAMPIRE

BERNIE SANDERS EMAIL SUBJECT LINES to the tune of DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'

Springboard returns to Wonderville (1186 Broadway, NY) Tuesday October 14th! From 8pm-1am we will have techno sets from the talented Ben Zo, Steinbock19, and Thuumprr. Vibes will be dark, hypnotic, and groovy. The event is 21+. Entry is free, however, there is a suggested donation of $10 in order to help support the artists. QR codes will be printed throughout the venue.

Springboard is a queer based party that is focused on inclusion, community, and a shared love for experimental dance music. There is absolutely zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. Springboard gives a platform to those artists who are pushing the boundaries sonically and are playing the type of avant-garde music that encourages ourselves to stay open to all genres. Just like an actual springboard that propels us forward, an open-minded community allows artists to be their truest selves and play the sounds that will also expand our notions of what dance music is and what it can become. Spring ahead- BOING!

Check out the artists!

Robot Karaoke

Join us for karaoke night on impossible mode as we replace the lyrics to any SONG with words from any TEXT, then try to sing the results on the spot. It all happens live, so each song has never been heard before and will never be heard again.

Our songwriting system, THE WEIRD ALGORITHM, matches each line syllable-for-syllable, so you can sing along if you know the original tune.

Request any of the 100+ songs and 50+ texts in the catalog. Sign up to sing as an individual or a group...or sit back and watch the karaoke carnage.

Past combos include:

YELP REVIEWS OF PSYCHICS to the tune of TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

CRAIGSLIST VEHICLE ADS to the tune of TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS

NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF PROFESSORS to the tune of VAMPIRE

BERNIE SANDERS EMAIL SUBJECT LINES to the tune of DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'

Hosted by Jamie Brew and Jenn Schiffer, two tech entrepreneurs on a mission to make karaoke harder and worse.

Come have fun and save lives!

Olive Grove Initiative -- NYC-based mutual aid group raising funds for families from Gaza.

EITHERMORE is an indie-alt singer-songwriter from Long Island playing an acoustic set of emotional original music

SI DOUX is an solo electronic act part of the band @semaphore providing ambient but danceable electronic rhythms.

HENRY RYEDER is a singer-songwriter that draws from a wide array of rock and pop and delivers massive stage presence and charisma.

CALISTA GARCIA

Once described as "Lou Reed reborn as Wednesday Addams", whimsy-rock singer-songwriter Calista Garcia delivers flairs of folk, Latin, blues, roots and pop, all tied together with her signature blend of both introspective and "philosophizing" lyricism. With her bombastic, cinematic sophomore album, "Animal Magnifique!" Calista explores radical authenticity and 'ferality' in an increasingly inhumane world. Merging high-wire songwriting/production, carnival theatricality and LES grit, Garcia puts on a tour de force "vaudevillian" live show, with comparisons made to Sinead o'Connor, Radiohead, Lady Gaga and Father John Misty.

Club: ???
Aug
16
to Aug 17

Club: ???

Club: ??? returns to Wonderville with an ode to the word "club," and the many forms of music that fit under its umbrella.

Ctyzn (@ctyzn) is a rare synthesis of passion, knowledge, and talent. A NYC-based DJ of 7 years and producer of 14 years, they weave together hip hop and club music of all kinds into a melodic, drop-heavy mix to create their own unique sound. A true musical chameleon, ctyzn is able to adapt to shifting energies while maintaining a consistent atmosphere that keeps crowds glued to the dancefloor.

Flora @beatsbyflora is a Japanese DJ, producer, and event curator based in Brooklyn. Her style focuses on underground hiphop and boombap beats. Her party Downtempo (@downtempoparty) has hosted events at local favorites Elsewhere and Jupiter Disco, and most recently, in Tokyo! While she’s made her name in the beat world, Flora will be expressing her love for funky and hard-hitting instrumentals with a special footwork set at Club: ???

Vianna (@vianna.verse) is a DJ, archivist, culturist, and curator born and raised in Newark, repping all of New Jersey. Known for her high-energy sets rooted in Jersey Club and footwork-driven dance music, she’s on a mission to preserve and uplift Black club culture. She’s played at notable venues like Elsewhere, Pianos, Bunkr, and Scratch Academy, bridging generations and genres through sound. Vianna’s work is about more than music — it’s about education, legacy, and ensuring club music is recognized on a global stage alongside other major dance genres.

FLWRSHRK (@flwrshrk) is a Jane of all trades, but most notably known for her work as a DJ and music journalist residing in the Bronx, NY. She has a unique way of seamlessly blending hip hop, club, and vogue beats and is just as passionate about telling the stories of the artists behind the various genres on her media and publishing platform, HangTime Magazine. Over the past decade she has been consistently shaking dance floors and breaking music from up and coming artists in her sets.

Kweku (@kweku.nyc) is the Club: ??? curator and resident DJ, proudly repping both Queens and Ghana. His style is informed by the punchy club kicks that can be heard around Brooklyn’s hotspots and the funky percussive beats from throughout the African diaspora. In addition to Club: ???, he runs the party series Beats without Borders (@beatswithoutborders) celebrating Afro-diasporic electronic music, and is a resident of Half Moon where the accompanying radio show airs on the second Thursday of each month.

Saison Zero - Backyard

Saison Zero is a monthly tabletop role play game meetup dedicated to introducing folks to games other than just D&D. Light on rules, rich in flavor. This month we’ve got open tables for The Witch is Dead, Brindlewood Bay, and Grandmothership! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.

This is a beginner friendly event. Rulebooks and other resources will be available. We encourage you to bring dice if you have them and something to write with, but we’ll have extras!

Polly Vinylchloryd and Friends

Some use electronic instruments to write songs, other use them to destroy songs. Join us for an evening of both. "I love putting on shows with my friends, and over the years I end up meeting so many like-minded musicians at shows who create entirely different works, but all aim for a common goal. Come listen to my friends and I make music, and maybe make some new friends in the crowd, see ya there!" - Polly V

In the experimental electronic corner is... BUNNY, serving disjointed hip hop beats paired with bizarre samples and mad genius beat boxing...

RXZZO, with a table top of plugged-in tricks, she serves a range of sounds from calming and meditative to unsettling and chaotic.

In the opposite corner is... "the man who fell to earth" ASTRONAUTO, introspective folk realism collides head on with expansive electronic dreamscapes using everything from acoustic guitars to fuzz basses, analog synths to manipulated paint cans...

POLLY VINYLCHLORYD, the Italian synth pop diva from Laawwng Island, serving analog cunt since 1992. If Giorgio Moroder was a drag queen and had a baby with Kraftwerk, and Gary Numan was the godfather and Brian Eno was the doctor who delivered the child, it would only begin to sound like Polly V's music.
