Welcome to Haus of Vibes where we explore the New York City underground, music culture, the music business, and highlight local DJs and smaller venues (the scene is bigger than the popular, large venues like the Brooklyn Mirage). From dive bars in Brooklyn & rooftops in Queens to midweek parties & after work industry nights in Manhattan — we give you a carefully curated list of lesser-known venues with good vibes & great music, so you don’t have to feel like crabs in a barrel when you just want the dance and chill.
What You'll Find:
Exclusive Features on emerging talent & veteran artists driving the underground scene.
Spotlights on Local Venues bringing you inside the spaces where the music happens.
Interviews and Stories from the DJs, producers, promoters and other industry professionals.
Resources for Music Creators & Music Lovers— whether you’re looking to start a DJ career, exploring how to break into another part of the music industry, looking for educational resources about the music business (yes, gatekeeping is real), or you just need recommendations on where to dance and enjoy yourself, we’ve got tools, tips, and guides to help you on your journey.
Curated Playlists and Event Lineups so you can add some dope beats to your playlist (recommended by me — Vibe With Steph) and also expand your venue and music options.
