SUNDAY JULY 29
LOVE INJECTION / RESIDENT ADVISOR 24/7


Modern club culture is a global phenomenon with no fixed claim to one city over another. But among its many holy historical sites, New York City looms large. With a nightlife tradition that reaches far back into the 20th century, and a scene that continues to grow and diversify, we've got lots to discuss in this special edition of the RA Exchange.

Together with local music and culture zine LOVE INJECTION, RESIDENT ADVISOR will host a marathon of live interviews and panel discussions, which will move chronologically from the '60s to the current moment. Running from noon to 5 PM on Sunday, you'll hear anecdotes, backstage stories and frontline tales from some of the key figures in New York jazz, disco, house and techno.

Factory Eminence/ Nightlife Utopian CHI CHI VALENTI will be discussing 80s club culture and history with DJ superstars JUSTIN STRAUSS and FRANÇOIS K as part of "New York Nightlife Stories 1970s to Today". From the Mudd Club to her pioneering writing about Ballhouse culture in DETAILS, it was a busy decade for The Empress. All panels will be archived on the RA Soundcloud. More Info and Tickets

SATURDAY, AUGUST 11
“TAKE BACK THE NIGHT" W/ FRANCINE 59
HUDSON HALL IN HUDSON, NY
 
Club History and Herstory will abound as JOHNNY DYNELL spins for a VERY special evening at New York State's oldest surviving theatre (circa 1855), HUDSON HALL at the historic HUDSON OPERA HOUSE. The dance party, which begins at sundown, celebrates the exhaustive FRANCINE HUNTER MCGIVERN retrospective EPISODIC MEMORY | 1977 – PRESENT. Hunter McGivern is a NYC club star and It Girl of the Mudd Club era and beyond, first known for her pioneering beauty business JUNGLE RED and her nightclub installations and performances including the seminal NIGHTSCHOOL. (During the JACKIE 60 days, Francine was dubbed “FRANCINE 59” to celebrate her groundbreaking fetish feminism and nightclub art.) Johnny will spin the clubby dance floor, and his JACKIE FACTORY cohort EMPRESS CHI CHI VALENTI will read her 1990 prose poem “Take Back The Night”.

TUESDAY AUGUST 21
FASHIONABLY LATE

celebrating STEPHEN SABAN
and the Details of his life

Friends and family of the pioneering nightlife journalist STEPHEN SABAN will gather to celebrate his life and legacy. Saban, who passed earlier this Summer at 72, was a chronicler and sardonic cheerleader for a Golden Age in nyc clubbing that spanned the late Seventies and most of the Eighties.  His column in the original DETAILS magazine was required reading for the nocturnal stars and New Kids of art, fashion and music as they were birthed in 1980's clubs.

From Jackie Factory producers CHI CHI VALENTI and JOHNNY DYNELL: "Like tales of the Gold Rush once did, Stephen's dispatches from downtown inspired generations of restless youth to move to NYC and try their hand. Decades later we are STILL running into people who say 'I moved here after reading about you in Stephen Saban’s column in DETAILS.' ”  Dynell will provide the soundtrack, there will be speakers, photos and video as well. (Night still in formation - we will post more info as we get it).
