been talking about this for months too. completely scandalized every time i food shop. honestly, i don’t know how families on a tight budget living in nyc are doing it. also, our local food shops in brooklyn mostly sell “artisanal” and “organic” shit over regular brands.
The Batman star Robert Pattinson has explained he had to keep his costume on for long stretches during downtime – which meant he did everything from reading to making 'ambient electronic music' in the Batsuit.
last night, having the person i literally grew up listening to since i was a little gay boy in argentina standing and performing so close in front of me was such a surreal experience i’ll never forget. 😭👑💜

if you were out partying in nyc this past weekend and still think other cities have a better nightlife and dance music scene, then you’re either going to the wrong parties or hanging out with the wrong crowd (or both!).
y’all that was insane. they even had fireworks indoors! the dutch are literally untouchable when it comes to production. shit is at a level that is mind blowing insanity. above it all, the sound was so incredible: perfectly loud and so clear from every which corner. i’m gagging.

“like a prayer”. can’t tell y’all how much i played this record when it first came out or how many times i watched the music video. nobody had ever seen anything like it. a true cultural shift . 👑🖤

if throwing a multi-story 1800 people underground warehouse rave going until 9am in the middle of one the most expensive residential neighborhoods in new york city is not a symbolic huge middle finger to our establishment and status quo then i don’t know what else would be.
i partied in some of the sickest parties in london and berlin this past weekend and i can say with 100% certainty that NYC is the place to be. people saying that the vibe is off are clueless and cannot be saved. support our nightlife. we’ve got so much to be grateful for. 🖤

“sky fits heaven” from the drowned world tour is probably one of madonna’s most underrated live performances ever. there had been nothing like it in pop music then and there has been nothing like it since. beyond brilliant.

This interview is also notable for how Jonathan asks her about the false rumours that Madonna herself is HIV positive. Her response is stunning when you consider how long ago this was.
fuck yes! this show is EVERYTHING! the plot and acting are sublime. also, i really can’t think of another show as new york as this one - like the actual real new york we live in. it’s like it is all happening outside our front doors and we know these characters. love, love, LOVE!
i know some of y’all find it hard to believe but you can still do pride without going out to dance music parties, stuffing your face with drugs, and staying up all weekend. just do it your way and embody the spirit of pride in your most personal meaningful way! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈✊
this halloween, get ready for the ultimate party collaboration: UNTER x UNTER - because if you can’t collaborate with yourself, how in the hell are you going to collaborate with somebody else!

nobody likes to book or work with mean people, shit stirrers, or divas so if you think that pressing buttons or playing your idea of “bangers” alone will get the job done, then you have no idea how this industry works. the

no. this is the era where at the peak of the AIDS crisis me and countless of other young gay teenagers like me felt seen, validated and publicly supported by a world famous pop star (the most famous at the time) for the first time ever while the rest remained silent.

appreciation tweet for not only being one of the greatest and best djs in the entire world, but also a true class act of professionalism and knowledge of music. a promoter and a dancer’s dream. i love this bitch. ❤️💯
the joy that
@mikeservito
has brought me on the dance floor over the years is unparalleled. seeing the photos and videos of him on that stage takes it to another level. 🙌❤️🔥to infinity.
for most people nightlife is just a phase in their lives and i’ve been around long enough to know that it is usually the transients the ones that bitch, complain, and criticize everything, with nothing to contribute and nothing to lose because none of it affects their livelihood.

artistry redefines dance music into a category that’s uniquely hers. it’s current, it’s referential, it defies what’s possible using every single color in the crayon box on a level that’s beyond genius. all while looking like a total goddess. love her so much 💜
i wouldn't have become this super proud of being a gay living life out loud f*gg*t if i hadn't move to nyc. this city changed my life and gave me the confidence to be unapologetically myself. i hope everyone this weekend gets to feel seen, accepted and loved as their true selves.
way before camera phones or even memory cards or sticks, digital cameras used regular floppy discs. depending on the resolution, a single floppy disc would save 6-8 photos which meant walking around carrying several cases. this is what a selfie looked like in the mid 90s.

i find it pretty hilarious that the gays that keep whining about a crowd being too this or too that are the same ones that go to parties and treat anybody that’s not gay (mainly women) as invisible obstacles in their walking path.

i was 12 years old and had already been sexually active with men. each time i legit thought i’d die because i was gay because gays were dying. they called it the pink plague. no person in the world, let alone its biggest pop star, spoke to us and about us or cared like madonna.

within the context of pride and our second to last party and feeling humbled by all the love and support. huge thank you from all of us at UNTER to all that came to celebrate the LGTBQ’s most meaningful day of the year with us. see y’all soon! 🏳️��⚧️🏳️🌈❤️
people go out for all kinds of reasons: music, friends, sex, drugs.. yet not necessarily in that order. tonight’s the monthly “great migration of manhattan gays” to brooklyn, most which you could have an ipod playing from the dj booth, and they wouldn’t know the difference.
years ago when i came out to my family, my dad didn’t speak to me for 8 months and once he did he called me a fucking faggot. today, he texted me wishing me and my husband a happy anniversary and that it brings him joy that i can share these moments with him. 😭❤️
i really miss the days when it was all about the music. my advise to anybody starting their nightlife journey: buy your ticket, show up, dance, have fun and leave. don’t peek behind the curtain. when it comes to nightlife, ignorance is bliss.
“erotica” to “papa don’t preach” via “like a virgin” dance sequence from the blond ambition. gag! this is just too good. 👑

i hope people are aware of the amount of privilege we all have to be on this app kvetching bout any and all aspects of dance music while thousands are being displaced, tortured, and blown up in many parts of the world. sorry for being a bummer; i just think of this way too often.
