MERGE x PAX-ROMANA

Over the past 4+ years, Amsterdam's PAX-ROMANA has quickly become a leading symbol of queer revelry within our global techno ecosystem, and it's a real privilege to invite them into our New York home on Friday, 5/29. Drawing inspiration from the historic Roman peace era, PAX-ROMANA offers a modern interpretation that celebrates unrestrained self-expression and self-exploration - values at the core of our MERGE ethos. We push this collaboration forward with aligned passion and enthusiasm for techno music, its subculture, and deep admiration for the community of individuals who honor this movement as a means to protest, unite, and most importantly, as a space for unapologetic joy free from judgement. Musically, we've invited friends of both MERGE and PAX-ROMANA: Amotik, Kangding Ray (live), and Mary Yuzovskaya, along with our respective residents Delano Legito, Julie, Juana, and Ne/Re/A. Marcal, an absolute titan from Brazil, makes his long-awaited New York debut. MERGE regulars, Ron Like Hell and The Carry Nation - queer leaders in our Brooklyn ecosystem - join in on the fun. A dedicated play area will be available for this party, feel free to use it as you see fit. --- Artwork by MERGE Art Director, David Padilla with inspiration from PAX-ROMANA's designer Antonie Koenen Lighting by Low Res Sound by SubBass Soundsystems --- An email with event details/location will be sent to ticketholders at 9pm on 5/29! We'll have a robust team working to ensure the vibes and our guests are safe and comfortable. Admittance is at the discretion of our door staff. Tickets do NOT guarantee entry, and removal for violation of any of our policies below do not constitute a refund. --- Merge is a Brooklyn-based, queer party that aims to cultivate sonic liminoid experiences through techno music. We will work together to incubate the collective queer body, and experience its transformation under the influence of techno. We seek release, mutual understanding, deeper access to the personal, interconnected, and ethereal. We honor the sound through dance, self expression, and hyper-immersion. --- We have zero tolerance for physical, verbal, or sexual harassment. This includes non-consensual touching, violence, discriminatory language, or any behaviors that have a negative impact on the experience or the physical safety of other guests. If a problem or concern arises, guests are encouraged to locate a staff member for assistance. While on the dance floor, we encourage guests to keep conversations to a minimum and phones in their pockets. Come correct and ready to sweat!
