In more normal times, we'd be celebrating our 8th "birthday/anniversary" as Occupy The Disco with all of you in person, but since we can't, we wanted to share one of our recent Paradisco sets with all of you and announce a new effort to support our friends at Le Bain.

Le Bain makes it possible for us to gather our friends and chosen family, week after week, to celebrate life, music and each other. 

What makes Le Bain so great is their staff. From the door, to the coat check, elevator, bar, bathroom, management, lights and sound, the staff are the lifeblood that ensure our days and nights there are always enjoyable. 

With the current health conditions, the club remains closed and all of the amazing staff are out of work. We are turning to you – our community, our family, our friends – to donate and help offset the loss of income for the staff of Le Bain. Many of them have families they need to support. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to them.  

Please consider making a donation if you are feeling generous (any amount is okay - link available on this page), to help out until we can all dance together again. In honor of our 8th birthday as Occupy The Disco,  we've donated $2500 to help kick things off and we're hoping that you, collectively can help match that. 

Love,
Josh, Tadeu, & Ru

Paradisco 2.9.20

Paradisco 2.9.20 (Part 1)

Occupy The Disco (OXD) is the New York-based DJ collective of Tad Haes and DJ RuBot. What started out as a casual experiment by friends to introduce underground electronic music back onto the gay dance floor soon turned into curation and experimentation behind the decks. Their shared love of nightlife's past and present permeates their sound, unabashedly queer and always eclectic.

Occupy The Disco maintains a residency at Le Bain at The Standard, High Line. Additionally, OXD has played at Good Room, Public Records, Cielo, Black Flamingo, Analog BKNY and The Pines Party.
