What happened to the music?

What happened to the dance floor?
What happened to NYC??

One night, Cosi, Marc and I were drinking uptown, asking ourselves these questions. Just some good old reminiscing about a time when people went out to have fun.

A time when people came together from all walks of life, under one roof, and let themselves be free.

When music was the answer and people danced and sang and rejoiced as one.

We remembered Paradise Garage.
We remembered Red Zone.

We remembered Mars, the Palladium, the old Nell’s, Soul Kitchen, Giant Step, the Lower East Side lounges, the Chill Factor and more.

Those were our temples of worship.

And we smiled.

All three of us were fed up with those “hot” new lounges that cared more about your income than your soul. The latest hang-outs where people were more focused on what you were wearing and who you knew.

The places where all of the action wasn’t on the dance floor (there wasn’t even a dance floor to begin with), but in the “VIP” section where people scrambled for seats so they to could feel important.

Enough was enough.

We were ready and willing to right this wrong. We were prepared to provide a fond memory that people could look back on.

Give people a place where they could feel free to let it all hang out and have fun, no matter what tax bracket they were in, no matter where they shopped for their clothing or who they had in their list of contacts.

We believed that it was our turn to create an event that gave to people what those legendary parties gave to us.

It was our turn to make people smile.
It was time for change.
It was time for Freedom.

Today, the Freedom Party is the most successful, sought-after dance party in NYC. For the last 7+ years, on a weekly basis, each and every Friday night, we have packed our house with the most positive, fun-loving, high spirited, beautiful people in all of NYC.

And they come from miles away, too.

Places like Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Detroit, not-to-mention our international guests from Japan, England, Denmark, France, Italy, Canada and more.

When they are in NYC, they come to FREEDOM.

We hope you will too.

See you on the dance floor!!!
