The Verboten brand began in reaction to the conservative, bottle service focused climate that had turned Manhattan nightlife into a shadow of its former self. The ongoing party series was dedicated to bringing musical credibility, professionalism and excitement back to a hand-picked selection of venues. Verboten's fictional world, as it appears in our club visuals and flyers, is a dystopian surveillance state set in a decayed urban landscape. "Verboten," German for "forbidden," evokes this concept and our techno programming perfectly.
Verboten is now a major force in the New York dance music scene with over 75 events and 250 top-tier DJs booked annually. It attracts a discerning crowd of music fans, Europeans, hipsters, freaks, party girls & industry types to big room clubs, intimate Sunday night "Disasters," and special one-off events including festivals and boat parties.
