Bossa Nova Civic Club hosting BENDER EXTENDER with Bodega Party, Noah G, Club Advisory, Taaj Al Khaliq tonight feels like the anchor holding New York’s quieter Monday together. Bodegaparty is the standout name on this lineup, not only for their genre-range in club sounds but for the energy they bring in setting up a room that stays locked in late. Alongside them, Club Advisory, Taaj Al Khaliq, and Noahg round out a lineup that leans heavy on forward-looking club and footwork influences. If Monday feels slow, this is where you want to be.
Over at Elsewhere, the night shifts into experimental territory with Takaat, Masaaki, Maria Chavez (DJ). This is a smaller but detailed lineup, featuring Maria Chavez Dj known for abstract DJ sets that reconstruct sound, alongside Takaat and Masaaki. This isn’t for casual clubgoers—the vibe here will skew artsy, with deep focus on unconventional rhythms and textures. If you’re already a part of Elsewhere’s crowd or want something quieter and off-center, it may line up perfectly.
Interestingly, Takaat pulls double session duties tonight with another appearance at their own dedicated set elsewhere in the venue as part of Takaat. Consider this a deep dive into their sound—the kind of booking that allows an artist room to stretch and experiment across a whole set without pressure to cater broadly.
With only three notable events lined up for the night, it’s clear New York is treating Monday lightly. But the right rooms—Bossa Nova and Elsewhere—are creating space for those who stay out late on principle. The full lineup for New York tomorrow is at all New York events.
