Thriftshoppe is all about delivering an inclusive, affordable, and old-school experience! With this imprint, Ferrer emphasizes showcasing artists who create music reminiscent of the early '90s in more ways than just sound. He shares, "I grew up in the Bronx—and occasionally Texas—and we didn't have much.... And yet, creativity was everywhere."2
This evening's impressive lineup features:- Mai Iachetti- Miguelle & Tons- Nasser Baker back-to-back Aqutie- Pedrose- Sparrow & Barbossa- Dennis Ferrer himself
The atmosphere of the Thriftshoppe event aims to replicate the thrilling experience of discovering hidden gems in a thrift shop. Ferrer explains, "The good thing is that whatever you find there will have a character and a story. Be it a leather jacket or a fabulous pair of sunglasses, you can rest assured that it will be unique and special."
Don't forget to step out of your comfort zone! Trouble finding the hidden boiler room-style bathroom stage? Explore, dance, and make memories. As Ferrer advises, "And after all that, you'll still have some money left in your bank account to pay the rent—that's all I'm saying."
Thriftshoppe and Teksupport know how to bring house music to life, making New York City the ideal backdrop for this memorable event. To discover Dennis Ferrer's top recommendations for dining, partying, shopping, and exploring in the city that never sleeps, read his guide below!
Eat
"I’m mostly a steak kinda guy, so any place that serves a good steak—sign me up. However, I do love me some French or Japanese food. Le Bernardin does the trick for me when it comes to French cuisine, and Shuko has forever ‘ruined’ Japanese food for me—it’s just out of this world."
Party
"This is a hard one for me, believe it or not. I’m kind of on the inside looking out. I’ve been to a party or a thousand over the years, but if you ask for my personal recommendation for New York specifically, I’d have to go with Teksupport. It’s raw, it’s industrial, it’s bold, it’s different. It’s ‘Gotham City’ meets ‘Sex in the City.’ These guys have an impressive range and are pros at what they do. Shout out to the crew—you know who you are."
Shop
"Stadium Goods for sneakers. The Frankie Shop for gig clothes. For anything vintage or ‘left field,’ I can’t recommend Rogue enough. Shoutout to Emma. I think she’s got two locations now, both in [the Lower East Side]. She’s a rockstar in the making, and we’re happy to have partnered with her for our second Thriftshoppe event."
Explore
"Bushwick is cool. If you’re visiting New York, I highly recommend spending a day exploring the area. Just type your desired activity plus ‘Bushwick’ in the search bar, and you’ll find pretty much anything your heart desires. Food, small shops, galleries—Bushwick has it all. Oh, and—shameless plug alert—have you checked out Xanadu Roller Arts in Bushwick?"
