Electric Daisy Carnival
- Price band: 3/4
- Critics choice
The megafest heads east for its second NYC incursion, coming to a stadium near you—specifically, Citi Field—with a dance-music throwdown of gargantuan proportions. The two-day lineup is very much a mixed bag of electronic-dance-music sounds, with full-bore festival EDM (Chuckie, Steve Angello, the Bloody Beetroots, Eric Prydz et al.) going head-to-head with machine-tooled techno (Richie Hawtin and Loco Dice) and the deeper grooves of Maceo Plex, Seth Troxler, Damian Lazarus, Wolf + Lamb, Soul Clap and their pals.
- Citi Field Roosevelt Ave, at 126th St, 11368
- Until Sat May 18

Blkmarket Membership Seven-Year Anniversary Party
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Blkmarket's Taimur and Fahad celebrate seven years of top-tier electronics by spinning in Output's main room, along with an as-of-yet unnamed special guest. (Considering the circumstances, you can assume that the guest actually will be special.) In the recently opened side room—dubbed the Panther Room, apparently—the great techno artist Daniel Bell plays alongside Cielo resident Willie Graff and Zoo Project's Karina.

Verboten: Derrick Carter + DJ Sneak + Mark Farina
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Last summer's Tomorrowland festival featured an amazing event: House heroes (and old pals) Derrick Carter, Mark Farina and DJ Sneak played a three-way, back-to-back-to-back set for the first time ever in their long careers. It went so well, they decided to take the act on tour—and lucky New York is their first stop. Huzzah!
- Highline Ballroom 431 W 16th St, between Ninth and Tenth Aves
- Until Fri May 17
Giorgio Moroder
Deep Space: Giorgio Moroder + Benjamin Damage + T.Williams
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Dance-music deity François K and his Deep Space soiree—focusing on dub in all its glorious, echo-drenched forms, but extending its reach to all types of underground dance music—have been ruling Monday night for years. Tonight's special Output installment, presented in conjunction with Red Bull Music Academy, is the one we've been waiting for: Giorgio Moroder, the iconic producer behind Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" and "I Feel Love," among scores and scores of other seminal songs, is trying his hand at the deejaying arts. As if that wasn't enough, bass boffin Benjamin Damage and his fellow Brit, Rinse FM's T.Williams, join the aural action.
Hot Mama Burlesque
