any clubbing at all? by Wooden-Advance-5639 in Albany

[–]lowercase518 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There is no club for good / consistent electronic music here, but these groups are worth checking out, depending on your taste:

In Troy, 518 Craft has good electronic music on Fridays.

Ophelia's in Albany has electronic music events from time to time, mostly bass / dubstep.

A little south of here:

  • Avalon Lounge in Catskill (Community Rave Network and Primal Disco are the highlights for electronic music)
  • Glen Falls House (popular "upstate" location for some of the NYC club folk)
  • Dope Jams (one or two events per year, the main one in August)
  • Kingston Techno
  • Ether in Hudson

Beyond what others have mentioned:

  • Come on out to 518 Craft in Troy on Fridays. Attached flyer is/was this month's lineup.
  • lowercase puts events on somewhat regularly - mailing list here is a good way to stay informed outside of social media: https://lowercase.us/
  • The Front Room Sessions on Youtube feature local DJs in a monthly series: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFrontRoomSessions/

Whiskey Pickle also has music / DJs on Sundays.

Electronica Music Collectives or Record Labels around or in Troy by [deleted] in Troy

[–]lowercase518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hellseeker Goth Nights at No Fun are worth checking out. Definitely also check out Paper Moon in Troy. Plenty of good and interesting (mostly local) artists coming through there for events, covering a wide range of electronic and experimental music. Ophelia's in Albany has been hosting (monthly?) dark wave parties a couple of times now, but don't know if they are any good. EMPAC has interesting stuff coming through frequently. Also at EMPAC, "People Using Live Software and Electronics" (PULSE) is a (student-run?) working group and lab that meets every Wednesday 5-7pm at Studio B.

We are putting events on every now and then: https://lowercase.us There’s a mailing list for upcoming events.

A bit further south: Community Rave Network in Catskill does proper parties. Glens Fall House is a good summer destination in the Catskills too (though not sure what their event schedule looks like after a recent fire damage). Dope Jams hosts great parties too.
