Philippa Pacho / Newa / Holden Federico / The Spectrum

A night of underground techno featuring Philippa Pacho and Newa at Basement.

Located beneath the Knockdown Center in Maspeth, Queens, Basement serves as a primary hub for underground electronic music in New York City. The venue features a subterranean, industrial aesthetic defined by raw brick and concrete, prioritizing a focused dance floor experience with high-fidelity sound. Programming centers on techno and experimental club sounds, often hosting international selectors alongside local talent. The space maintains a strict no-photo policy to preserve its immersive, club-first atmosphere. It operates as a dedicated environment for movement and sonic exploration, eschewing traditional bottle service for a pure, music-driven culture.
