  • Pittsburgh's Hot Mass afterhours club will celebrate one year of "crazy parties, dudes in towels, heavy beats and naughty club-goers" on Saturday, November 30th. A collaborative effort from a handful of local crews, Hot Mass is situated within Club Pittsburgh, a members-only gay sex club. Open on Sunday mornings only (as the name might imply) and aided by a BYOB policy, it's quickly become a local hotspot, with music handled by plenty of Pittsburgh selectors along with a growing list of out-of-town visitors, like Claude Von Stroke, Fred P and Jus-Ed (back in March, those two co-headlined an early Easter-morning party called Oh Christ!) and Cosmin TRG, who just made an appearance this past weekend. Two guests are confirmed for the upcoming anniversary bash: Bryan Kasenic, a Pittsburgh-born, New York-based DJ and the founder of the acclaimed event series The Bunker—and who you might also know as Spinoza—and John Templeton, a scene stalwart in Denver and the mind behind that city's Great American Techno Festival, which held its third annual edition back in September. The party will run from 1 AM to 7 AM, and each DJ will get three hours on the decks, with Kasenic up first and Templeton closing it out.
