05-29-2026 | lowercase pres. MOVE YOU | an underground dance party at The Waiting Room (@waitingroomtroy ) in Troy, NY. For this special edition we are excited to welcome Brooklyn-based deejay, producer, promoter & educator, Derek Russo (@derekrusso_ ). Derek is lauded for his ability to adapt seamlessly to most any type of gig while still displaying his signature style. With over 2 decades of experience, he’s equally comfortable playing lower bpm, eclectic opening sets, to banging out house and techno in a dark basement, to disco and funk party jams on a sunny rooftop. As a producer, he has released on Make Mistakes, Perimeter Junk and his own label, Broad Channel. In addition, he throws an underground party in New York called Xoloft. Support from lowercase residents Electronic Meanderings (@electronic_meanderings ) and Seth Nichols (@sethnicholsdj ). We’ll start the evening off at 8p, outside on Broadway between 2nd & 3rd, before moving inside into The Waiting Room starting at 9:30p, where we will have deluxe sound from White Rabbit Audio (@white.rabbit.audio ). Tickets for The Waiting Room are available at Resident Advisor for $15 (+ RA fees) advance / $20 at the door (link in bio). Pre-sale tickets can also be purchased at face value (cash only) at 518 Craft (@518craft ), 200 Broadway in Troy, and at Love Vinyl Records (@lovevinylrecordsdotcom ), 140 Erie Blvd in Schenectady. No cover for the outdoor portion of the event. The Waiting Room is located on Franklin Alley in Troy, between Broadway and River Street. We can’t wait to MOVE YOU! Photo slide 3: @outlet_leo

We are beyond excited to welcome NYC mainstay @camillaalubatti for the next lowercase presents MOVE YOU on Saturday, March 28, back at @waitingroomtroy on Franklin Alley in downtown Troy. Camilla is an Italian DJ and selector whose DJ career took off in Boston in 2019 through local underground parties such as Reset and Infra. In 2020, she relocated to New York, where she became a core presence at After Moth, one of Brooklyn’s most influential after-hours parties back then. Over the past years, Camilla has built a steady presence across New York’s club landscape, with appearances at Public Records, Elsewhere, Outer Heaven, Resolute, and Golden Records, while also touring across the U.S. and Europe. In parallel with her club work, she has increasingly explored slower, more introspective ambient and downtempo sets, creating spaces that prioritize listening and performing in rooms such as Silence Please and Reforester Laboratory in NY. In 2021, she founded Encrypted, followed by Sudden Logic in 2025, both party series centered on groove-led, forward-thinking dance music and a close-knit, community-driven dancefloor. She is also part of Archivio Records in Brooklyn and Ladies On Wax, a vinyl-only women collective dedicated to analog culture. With a background in dance and a deep connection to the physicality of the floor, Camilla’s selections move across house, techno, electro, breaks, and progressive, unified by textured atmospheres, rolling basslines, and a strong sense of narrative, whether guiding peak-time energy or inviting dancers into slower, more immersive states. Tickets are available at Resident Advisor for $15 (+ RA fees) advance / $20 at the door (link in bio). Pre-sale tickets can also be purchased at face value (cash only) at 518 Craft (@518craft ), 200 Broadway in Troy, and at Love Vinyl Records (@lovevinylrecordsdotcom ), 140 Erie Blvd in Schenectady.

It’s been a year since our last night with @ps_eleven_ . We can’t wait to welcome him back behind the decks on Saturday at the @waitingroomtroy in downtown Troy. Those of you who have experienced PS11 before already know they’re in for a treat. For everyone else, get ready for some real heat from one of the finest techno DJs around. PS11 is the project of Matthew Antico, a Troy-based DJ and producer whose journey into electronic music began in the late ’90s in New York City. Under the alias DJ ELEVEN, he immersed himself in the underground techno scene, honing his craft by spinning high-energy tribal and acid techno at underground events and maintaining weekly residencies. After stepping away from the decks for a time, Matt shifted his focus to music production, dedicating himself to the technical and creative processes of electronic music. Over time, he developed a distinct sound that bridges his early influences with modern techno. His music and sound—whether crafted in the studio or as a DJ—blends raw, percussive rhythms with evolving synth textures and atmospheric layers, resulting in hypnotic tracks and sets that capture the essence of techno’s repetitive allure. In just a short time as a producer, Matt has made his mark by releasing music on respected underground labels such as Chicago Jaxxx, E-HRZN Records, EvilGroove, BCCO, Concrete Tbilisi, Duplicity, Reverse, Splatter, and Life in Patterns, among others. His tracks have earned support from respected underground artists like Richie Hawtin, Lindsey Herbert, Lacchesi, Markantonio, and Arnaud Le Texier, and they have been played in some of the top clubs in the world. Through continuous exploration and evolution, PS11 remains committed to pushing the boundaries of sound while staying true to the raw, hypnotic essence that defines the music he loves. Tickets are on sale at Resident Advisor for $15 (+ RA fees) advance / $20 at the door. Pre-sale tickets can also be purchased at face value (cash only) at 518 Craft (@518craft ), 200 Broadway in Troy, and at Love Vinyl Records (@lovevinylrecordsdotcom ), 140 Erie Blvd in Schenectady.
