As the official afterparty of the Mad Max II screening at the Empire Drive-In, this all-night event has the theme of American cinema. And to celebrate all things bold and spectacular, the venue is hosting two arenas of jive. The ‘heat packing district’ will be decked out in crates, red lights, strip plastic doors and more in homage to NYC’s famous meat packing zone while the gallery plays host to Hustle Beach (kind of self-explanatory, we think). Dudes and divas on the decks include HomoElectric hot dog, Will Tramp, Wet Play DJs Ste Spandex and Ruf Dug, queer Liverpool all stars, Chew Disco and Pride’s DJ Riv. Expect lavish house music, deep disco and guilty pleasures at one of the most open-hearted venues in town.
