Nonstop: Ayesha, Mor Elian, Baby Leo, BEARCAT, Pearson Sound, Tasha, The Untouchables + more

An airtight roster of boundary-pushing soundsystem enthusiasts descends on the Nowadays speakers for an all-night, all-day outing of adventurous vibrations at this week’s Nonstop.

The creative force behind legendary record shop Hardwax, Arthur opens the floor with crisp autumnal vibrations from his extensive collection of smoothed-out dub, reggae, and amapiano. Open Ground and Rinse FM resident Tasha takes over for peak hours with a full arsenal that spans from shuffling acid and hardgroove to subwoofer-pushing jungle. Veteran Belgian drum ‘n bass duo The Untouchables fills late-night with nocturnal dub atmospherics and skittering percussion, while Discwoman alum and Lot Radio regular BEARCAT brings old school jungle and high-BPM energy into the mix while straddling the twilight hours.

Sustain-Release vet and Dripping co-founder Baby Leo returns for another massive, genre-twisting sunrise set in the early AM hours. At 9, beloved Nowadays resident Ayesha joins Rinse FM favorite Mor Elian for a joint journey into dense thickets of mind-warping basshead bliss. And Hessle Audio luminary Pearson Sound takes the soundsystem into alien mode for the grand finale, spinning his inimitable style of wonk-heavy ear candy and brain-tickling bass.

RSVP is $10 before 11pm and $15 before midnight.

An RSVP is good for one person. If you're bringing friends, please have them RSVP here as well.

We stop taking RSVPs at 6pm on the day of the party. In order to receive the RSVP discount, you must be at the ticket desk by the cutoff time and not just in line. It's wise to arrive early to make sure you're not standing in line when the time comes.

An RSVP does not guarantee entry. Sometimes parties do sell out, so if you want to be sure you'll get in, it's best to grab a ticket in advance.

Entry is at the discretion of our door staff. Online purchases are limited to four tickets maximum per person. If tickets are sold out here, we always hold a good amount at the door. We will do our best to admit those without tickets but entrance is not guaranteed.

Nonstop tickets are divided by entry time. You must arrive during the hours listed on your ticket. For example, if you buy a "10PM–4AM" ticket, you must get here between 10pm and 4am.

After you've arrived during your designated time window, you can stay as long as you'd like, so long as you abide by our safer space policy (more on that below). You're also welcome to come and go as you please. Re-entry is based on capacity and is not guaranteed.

Nonstop attendees can attend Mister Sunday in the backyard starting at 3 pm without buying a separate ticket. Nonstop re-entry is honored during Mister Sunday, as long as there is capacity for re-entries in the backyard.

Violence, non-consensual touching, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, ageist or other discriminatory language, and leering are not allowed within our walls or in our back yard. If someone says or does something to make you feel uncomfortable while you’re here, let us know.

Accessibility:

The wheelchair entrance to our indoor space is in the driveway, which is the access point most commonly used to enter Nowadays. During parties the driveway gate is locked, so please ask staff at the street entrance for assistance with entry.

All of our bathrooms are gender-neutral. There is one accessible stall indoors. Just ask any Nowadays staff member for the key, and they can show you the way. During parties, seating is available both on and off the dance floor. While we don’t have a dedicated quiet space indoors during parties, the booths next to coat check are a little quieter, and the deck and back yard a little quieter than that. Most nighttime parties include the use of strobe lights and water based haze.
