RIP @caffeineunderground 🙏🏼 Definitely will miss this place. I’ve played sooooo many shows here, made so many friends here and believe It made as much an impact on me as I did on it. 💯🔥 It was a dope ride and I’m sad to see it go but at least the memories are forever etched in to eternity to go back to. 💫💯 I’m absolutely happy this place happened and gave so much to the underground art scene in NYC. Shout out @ianfford for having this dope space and always having the doors open for any artist looking to do something. ♾️🤘🏼 See you in the next one, Demons. The show must go on. #memories #nostalgia #sonymusic #opportunity #thaizeo

Thanks to you guys we made it for 9 years! It's time to evolve, to be mobile. Rents are suffocating the scene but there are many ways to support underground culture. We have some ideas. Our last day will be March 31st, so if you have anything here please come retrieve it. We have many things to give away or to sell, no offer refused, please come by and see if there's anything that you can use. We have extra furniture, audio gear, cables, chargers, plants, and so much more. Also accepting any help moving this stuff out of here. At the very least we will feed you and give you stuff for your help. Again, thank you all for this leg of a continuing adventure! Love, Ian

Saturday night we’ll be playing at Caffeine Underground (447 Central Ave) in the basement. All ages, $5 for four great acts (including a solo performance by our very own lovely guitarist Jalen!) No bigots and no drugs or alcohol. See u there

LEELA X ( @leela_x__ ) is a multifaceted artist whose journey into the music world began long before she touched the decks. For years, she played a pivotal behind-the-scenes role in shaping NYC's underground scene, helping bring iconic acts like Front 242, Dive, A Split-Second, and Leæther Strip to the stage. In 2025, after years of DJing in her head, she finally made the leap, sharing her electrifying sets with the world. With a background in filmmaking and photography, LEELA X has always chased one thing: the feeling of being transported to another world. For her, music is the most powerful vehicle for that escape. Her sets blend '80s and '90s nostalgia with a dark, futuristic edge, seamlessly weaving through EBM, Electro, Industrial, New Beat, Wave, Italo, and Minimal Synth. Heavy kicks, dark basslines, and ethereal synths converge, creating a fusion of the familiar and the unexpected, evoking both haunting memories and bold new frontiers. LEELA X debuts her first Live DJ performance, teaming up with XSB-R for #cafereflexionnyc with 5 hours of back-to-back EBM, Industrial, and New Beat at @caffeineunderground next week starting at 11:30AM EST!! https://ra.co/events/2380504 (Link in bio) Flyer by @limbriel Caffeine Underground 447 Central Ave Suite A Brooklyn, NY 11221 11:30AM to 4:30PM, NO COVER #leelax #caffeineunderground #ebm #newbeat

Live Music Showcase at Caffeine Underground, Brooklyn - Curated by SuMin.K It was such a joy seeing each artist’s music come to life in front of the audience in this cozy, beautiful space. Lineup: 🎶 Ben Hulbert (@benhulbertmusic ) 🎶 Blair Chen (@blairchenmusic ) 🎶 SuMin.K (@sumin.k_music ) 🎶 Schmidt Trio (@schmidt.trio ) My performance this day carried some unexpected spontaneity. Because of a last-minute change, my accompanist (@desigh.co ) joined on short notice, and during the set we improvised together around a new musical idea I’ve been working on. Unpredictability brought truly unique and brilliant moments to the music. Thank you to everyone who made this evening possible. There’s one more show coming up! 📍 Freddy’s Bar & Backroom 🗓️ March 6, 8 PM with guitarist Ben Hulbert Looking forward to this next show where we will be playing with a fresh, refined sense of musicality 🎻🎶 #SuMinK #LiveMusicShowcase #NYCLiveMusic #IndependentArtist #CreativeProcess
