Brooklyn’s industrial rave season is officially on notice: Time Warp is coming back. The world-famous German techno institution—Mannheim-born, globally beloved and responsible for turning warehouses into cathedrals of strobes since the ’90s—returns to New York on November 21–22 for its eighth U.S. edition, once again in partnership with nightlife powerhouse Teksupport.
The party lands at Brooklyn Storehouse, the Navy Yard’s 104,000-square-foot shapeshifter that’s quickly become one of the city’s go-to canvases for outsized electronic events. If you’ve stepped inside for CircoLoco, Charlotte de Witte, Justice or Eric Prydz, you know the drill: cavernous rooms, merciless lasers and production that seems physically incapable of chill. Time Warp’s two-room takeover is built for maximum sensory overload.
This year’s lineup feels like a European mega-festival air-dropped straight into the borough. At the top: Cocoon boss and techno lifer Sven Väth, French heavy-hitter Nico Moreno, HEKATE founder Sara Landry and genre-mutating futurist Trym. Deborah De Luca, fresh off continued momentum with her Sola_mente label, also anchors the bill.
But the back-to-backs are where Time Warp NYC really shows off. Dennis Ferrer with Kerri Chandler, Beltran with Ben Sterling, DJ HEARTSTRING with Partiboi69 and The Blessed Madonna with Mike Servito all bring the kind of once-a-year pairings that make people sprint to the dance floor. The rest of the bill is just as stacked: SPFDJ, X-Coast, Quest, LOVEFOXY, Katie Rex, CatLadyHi, Kim Ann Foxman and Dee Diggs all add their own flavor to a lineup built for maximum movement.
Time Warp’s NYC chapter has grown into a kind of cultural exchange: European club rigor meeting New York’s taste for scale. That’s partly thanks to Teksupport, whose founder, Rob Toma, has spent the past decade transforming nontraditional spaces into nightlife landmarks and bringing global dance institutions stateside. Time Warp remains one of its crown jewels.
