+1 All-Access: June 20-26, 2025 [ABRIDGED]
Typing this hungover and Juneteenth'd out... my God.
Hey. This is Mercury from HEADS KNOW. I’m writing this through thick sunglass lenses because the sun is up, my REM cycle is inverted, and I miss the sweet, sweet taste of Don Julio on my lips. What happened last night alcoholically/musically/dancingly can never happen again… until next year.
Because of this, I’m giving you an abridged version of the usual newsletter: only the greatest prospects, the biggest returns on investments, our first picks in the NYC nightlife draft.
(There’s so many parties this weekend. Oh, my God.)
We’ll be back to normal next week, but as always, if you ever want to promote an event, email headsknow@substack.com with the details.

Venue: Bossa Nova Civic Club
Time: 10:00 PM - 4:00 AM

Slick Down consistently delivers incredibly stacked rosters and bountiful bumping bass throughout their events, and this seems no different. Love Higher, sola system, and wahala.wav are all intensely seasoned and meticulous DJs, but adding Daniro and Maya Margarita to the mix makes the experience fierce competition for clashing parties in the night.

Lineup: DJ Technics
It’s DJ Technics. Free. All night. On a Tuesday. In Queens. It’s literally a miracle, why would you not go?
