Bossa Nova Civic Club turns its Monday evening into an intimate dive with "Under The Sea: xcakes fundraiser," headlined by the ever-inventive Pauli Cakes. Known for her genre-bending sets and bold presence in the club scene, Pauli is joined by an all-local lineup including Total Xtc, Katie Rex, and Coyado. It’s a fundraiser, but the energy isn’t about charity alone—it’s about tapping into the community-driven ethos that defines nights at Bossa.
The lineup has depth where it counts. Total Xtc brings their characteristic rave-infused flair, while Katie Rex offers the sharp edges of techno and industrial. Coyado and Joselo round things out with versatile club sounds, ensuring that every corner of the room finds its groove. There’s a certain rawness to nights at Bossa Nova Civic Club, and tonight’s combination of DJs promises to stretch that feeling well past midnight.
Across town, The Rose hosts its "MMF Society Open Decks" night, a smaller affair where Shirlz and Miss Vee take turns behind the booth. This one is for those seeking house and techno without frills, the kind of night where the focus is squarely on the music itself. Mondays are often about experimentation, and open decks nights like this give newer faces a chance to carve out their own sonic territory.
The energy on this Monday in New York is quiet but intentional. Both events keep the focus tight, whether it’s the curated fundraiser at Bossa Nova Civic Club or the grassroots vibe at The Rose. The full lineup for New York tomorrow is at all New York events.
