MERGE x BULTO!!!
On Friday, 12/4 from 11pm-noon - we invite Bogota’s beloved queer and fetish party BULTO into our MERGE home. BULTO, which quite literally translates to “bulge”, has been uniquely pushing this music forward through an ultra campy aesthetic juxtaposed by the genre’s very serious musicality since 2019.
Residents Jesuz X and Serge André join MERGE residents Juana and Ne/Re/A for a night of unbridaled revely. Daddy Boris and NY’s iconoclastic Juliana Huxtable do their thing.
Yes - there will be a dark room.

MERGE x THE GREAT BEYOND
January 27-31, 2027
BROOKLYN, NYC
The lineup for previously announced collaboration with @greatbeyondmn is now here!
Nestled between miles of cornfields and agricultural infrastructure in the Minnesota River Valley Sanctuary is one of underground techno’s most finest gatherings: The Great Beyond. Grounded in Midwestern kindness and care, the festival embodies the music’s imperfect roots through a deeply felt, PLUR-as-fuck ethos. We hope to capture that spirit through MERGE.
Access to the full program, ALL passes and individual day tickets are now available via the link in bio.

Grounded in Midwestern kindness and care, the festival embodies the music’s imperfect roots through a deeply felt, PLUR-as-fuck ethos. We hope to capture that spirit through MERGE.
From Wednesday, January 27 through Sunday January 31, 2027 we are pushing forward a full Weekender in collaboration with The Great Beyond on our Brooklyn home-turf.
Wednesday and Thursday unfold at Nowadays, exploring our shared affinity for the psychedelic and experimental: live performances, slower tempos, and space to settle in before gradually building toward the dance floor.
Friday and Saturday return us to our favorite East Williamsburg warehouse for two nights of dance, self-expression, and hyper-immersion. Expect familiar faces from both MERGE and The Great Beyond alongside a carefully curated group of new voices.
Full access passes are now available via the link in our bio. The full lineup and individual day tickets will be announced in early November.

MERGEBUMPS: The Halloween Party!
Artwork by David Padilla
09 Sep 2026
Born 1969. Died 1909.
For MERGE’s first ever all night long, we’ve invited an artist who has had an immense impact on the project’s evolution: RROSE.
The name comes from Rrose Sélavy, Marcel Duchamp’s androgynous alter ego - a playful reimagining of identity and art itself. Rrose carries that same spirit of ambiguity into her work, where the boundaries between body and machine, composition and improvisation, darkness and euphoria constantly shift. That tension feels especially at home in our techno sweet spot. RROSE’s approach treats the dancefloor as a space for transformation - using rhythm, texture, resonance, and gradual shifts in intensity to create something that feels both rigorously composed and totally alive.
RROSE first played MERGE in 2021, shortly after the project began at Market Hotel. Since then, she has returned in many different contexts and across numerous physical spaces, becoming deeply intertwined with the party’s identity. For her tenth visit, it felt natural to hand over the entire night. This is her first ever all night long, and we’re beyond thrilled to host it in a new, more intimate space.
The artwork takes inspiration from Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray’s “Belle Haleine, Eau de Voilette.”

Last year, we had the distinct honor of collaborating with DJ Nobu’s FUTURE TERROR party in Tokyo - a night of cross-cultural music and energetic exchange that we will cherish forever. On July 17th, DJ Nobu returns to MERGE to celebrate the 25th ANNIVERSARY of his Japanese institution FUTURE TERROR in Brooklyn for the first time.
Joining DJ Nobu are two of the party’s residents: DJ Yazi, a Japanese legend whose approach to the genre is deeply textural and artfully idiosyncratic, and Kugel, a South Korean DJ who effortlessly weaves through psychedelia and the cosmic - masterful storytelling that inspires hyper-immersion and self-exploration. They both make their stateside debut.
Doltz, also from Japan, returns to Brooklyn and brings one of the most exhilarating and distinctive techno LIVE sets - a daring and tried-and-true hypnotic wormhole.
MERGE residents Juana and Auspex play B2B for the first time, and Ne/Re/A tees up DJ Nobu’s closing 5 hour journey.

MERGE THIS WAY!
PRIDE 2026!
Artwork by David Padilla
28 Apr 2026
Over the past 4+ years, Amsterdam’s @paxromana.xxi 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.

On Wednesday, 5/27, we’re back at Nowadays with another chill-to-dance situation and for this occasion, we’ve invited our beloved Kangding Ray to play a unique, electric LIVE set, including music from his Golden Globe-nominated score for Oliver Laxe’s brilliant film, SIRĀT.
The story of SIRĀT is beautifully dense, following a complex narrative that persists through a rave dynamic, which in our humble opinion adequately captures the spirit and energy of our community and movement. Kangding Ray’s incredible music makes this possible, and we’re thrilled to present this on Nowadays’ robust sound system.
Joining him is Serti from Amsterdam’s Pax-Romana collective with his own live ambient performance. MERGE resident Auspex makes his Nowadays debut, and kicks the night off with an ambient moment. MERGE residents Phase Fatale and Ne/Re/A close the night with their exhilarating tag-team back-to-back set.

On Friday, March 27th we invite one of the genre’s most celebrated and singular voices into our home - SANDWELL DISTRICT (@sandwell_district_official). The collective, most notably comprised of UK’s Regis (@regis.dns) and NY’s Function (@function.infrastructure), has had an immense impact on MERGE, and it is a true honor to present the modern incarnation of the project - an idea that sparked from a memorable conversation with the late Juan Mendez (aka Silent Servant) months after he closed our MERGE INTO 2023 event. Juan contributed musically, but also as the project’s Art Director - crafting what is no doubt the most iconic visual identity within techno - period.
Sandwell District will play an extended hybrid set. Our beloved Rrose (@rrose1921), a MERGE regular, who has released on the original Sandwell District label returns. Sarah Wreath (@sarahhwreath), who recently contributed to the Sandwell District “End Beginnings” album, joins us from Berlin.
Newly minted International MERGE resident Phase Fatale (@phasefatale) kicks off his residency with his new LIVE set. MERGE residents Ne/Re/A (@djnerea), Juana (@that_juana), and Auspex (@djauspex) do their thing - marking the first time all current residents play together.
