Real Scenes: New York | Resident Advisor

Not too long ago, it looked like New York's glory days as a center for dance music had passed. As the birthplace of disco and hip-hop and the home of legendary nightclubs like the Paradise Garage, Limelight and Twilo, the city has long been part of the cultural fabric. But as the notoriously grimy city of the late 20th century transformed into the sleek and hyper-gentrified metropolis of today, its thriving underground lost its foothold.
New Yorkers have long flourished under adversity, though, and its now bustling party scene is a testament to this. Promoters, producers and DJs jumped the East River to establish Brooklyn as a new creative center. Lofts and warehouses filled the void left by Manhattan's shuttered nightclubs, and a new generation of producers is infusing the city's musical legacy with the sounds of the international scene. But the luxury condos rising along the waterfront are a constant reminder that the city's relentless evolution could easily stamp things out again. We burrowed deep for our latest Real Scenes film, discovering how some of the key players in this vast scene are hustling hard to make it last.

One of the best Real Scenes documentary out there. Although it probably depicts quite accurately the current scene in New York, I was kind of taken aback by the negativity. These people all share a passion, and I find it sad that they are not able to look past the daily struggles and enjoy what they have created and are creating. This is easier said than done, but perhaps a more open mindset would lead to even more creativity and even better, livelier scene. Good luck to all you musicians, promoters and music-enthusiasts out there!

Berlin is actually known to be quite cheap in comparison to New York. I've heard about artists renting big warehouse spaces and cheap flats in the outer areas of Berlin, like the spaces where a lot of the 50s/60s/70s painters, dancers, performance artists, conceptual artists etc lived/worked - you can't do that in NYC any more. No one can afford it.

I hate entrepreneurial crap, I hate corporations, I hate the rich. The underground scenes, the real creative wacky people are for me. That's not me trying to be cool, that's just embracing being human and not being a slave to money. These real scene videos are comforting to watch, it's good to know there are many communities around the worldvwho share my viewpoint.

Awesome video series as usual! I identified a lot with this one, living in Williamsburg from 2005 until 2009 being displaced to Crown Heights because the rent had massively gone up and then ultimately getting away from the city because I needed to go live in a "small village". Thanks again RA

I think New York has a nightlife, but only for people who can afford it. The type of clubs where you pay a month salary for a drink and where music is played that you hear 20 times on the radio. The best underground scenes are in Europe, no doubt about that.

This was amazing! Pretty real and true to life. I ❤ BROOKLYN! It's got the best vibes and this film captured a small slice of the underground scene! Im so glad they focused on the loft party scene. It may have vanished already, but a few years back, there were hardly any clubs and loftlife was where you could get the good music and partylife!!!

It’s hilarious you watch the London one and it’s all about the mix of diversity and joy that the best scenes bring. I get the idea of the politics of clubbing and the wider city, I mean look at Sydney... Clubbing is meant to be political of course, but it should be about escapism and freedom in the environment in which you find yourself as well.

Typical old guard mentality New Yorkers have: "I'm so much more New York than you can ever be". Get over yourselves and change and welcome. No wonder your scene is a stagnant pool of ego.

@SIl_Ae 5 жыл бұрын

except i'd have to say your totally incorrect about that. i mean, you posted this three years ago, but there is a massive shift in the culture occurring here. stagnation is brought about by these types of changes, not what has been here. that sai, i do agree that (although i enjoy the scene here) it is a lot of the same kind of music. but within that similar genre (house), there is a LOT of variety and lots of international talent coming in. but one last thing. there absolutely is a difference between someone who's lived here without privilege and someone moving here because of their privilege.

Maybe I watched a different video than you and Mr Dubstep from pristine NYC did, but the video I watched captured the passion for the industry, and the desire to keep the trendy wannabe celebrities out of it, and yeah, some classically jaded NYkers that existed long before RA event dreamed of making such a video. I don't think anyone is saying it isn't difficult to live in other places, but New York isn't a walk in the park, especially with the influx of the wannabe VIP celebrity dorks.
