Something big is coming to New York City’s 10036. The biggest, actually, since before the pandemic. This weekend, a brand new nightclub called Nebula will open in the heart of Times Square with performances from GORDO (Carnage’s house music alias) and Purple Disco Machine. It will be the largest nightlife space to open in the city for over a year. Featuring a 5,500-square foot dance floor and a moving ceiling built out with video panels, the venue’s specs are practically unmatched when it comes to Manhattan nightlife. And, with a maximum capacity of only 700 people, clubbers should be able to avoid being packed like sardines. Also taking the stage at Nebula this month will be Malaa on October 28th and Camelphat on October 30th. The club...

With the release of his new single “KTN,” Carnage has just unveiled perhaps the most pivotal release of his career. Returning to Ultra Records for the release, he has also dropped the curtain on GORDO, his new house music alias. The change seems to be a welcome one from Carnage’s contemporaries. Yesterday, the 30-year-old producer shared a teaser of “KTN” that showed off early support from a slew of the most prominent names in electronic dance music, including Sebastian Ingrosso, David Guetta, Tiësto, A-Trak, and DJ Snake, among many others. Perhaps no one said it better than Chicago house music legend Felix da Housecat, who told Carnage, “So glad you made this transition.” “KTN,” which features CarnageR...
