btw
You've got the ticket. We build everything around it: the pregame, the walk over, the afterparty, the crew you roll with.
/the-idea
The show is three-ish hours. There is so much more around it: getting ready with your people, the pregame playlist, the walk over, the debrief that runs late. That's the good stuff, and it deserves the same care as the headliner.
Think of us as the rest of your ticket.
/how-it-runs
Each one is built around something already on the city's calendar. You bring the ticket; we build the rest.
A living room near the venue. A listening party warming up, someone on the decks, your name at the door. It starts here.
Everyone heads over together. Best fifteen minutes of the whole thing; ask anyone.
The one you bought the ticket for, louder and better with your people in it.
Low lights, food, the replay of the night's highlights. No rush to be anywhere.
Photos, the group chat, plans. The same faces at the next one. That's the whole point.
/whats-on
The things happening around town this weekend. Most are here so you find them. If one feels like a /btw night, say so and we build the rest around it.
at Fortune Sound Club · chinatown
Afro house from the founder of MoBlack Records. Doors at 10, so it's the one you build the rest of the night around.
at Fox Cabaret · mount pleasant
Three acts on one bill on Main, done by 10. The early one, so you can still make something after it.
no /btw night on this one. it's here so you find it. want to make a night of it? say so.
at Fox Cabaret · mount pleasant
A throwback battle of the decades on Main. The late one, if the early show left you wanting more.
discovery only. tell us if we should build a night around it.
this is the start of the calendar. know something we should list? put it on the calendar. follow @btw.social, that's where what's on lands first.
/what-you-get
The whole way.
Pregame + show + afterparty, built around events already on the calendar.
Your people.
Come solo, leave with a crew. Come with friends, leave with more.
Real rooms.
Living rooms and back rooms near the venues, warm on purpose, all held to one standard.
/the-door
Everyone's here because someone brought them. That's the whole door policy, and it's why the room feels the way it does.
Most people arrive vouched by a member, and your guest reflects on you, so people bring their best.
No vouch yet? Join the list and we'll have a real conversation. Humans decide, not forms.
When you've found your people, you bring the next ones in. That's how this grows.
/make-it-with-us
FOR HOSTS
Live near the action? Host the warm-up or the landing. We bring good people, every one of them vouched; you bring the room.
raise your hand →FOR ORGANIZERS & VENUES
Bundle a pregame with your ticket, or hand us the afterparty. Your event becomes the middle of something people talk about all week. Costs you nothing to staff.
start the conversation →/good-questions
Know someone? You're in through them. Don't? Join the list and we'll have a real conversation. That's the whole thing. No application, no fee.
Your show ticket is your business. Ours are priced to cover the room and the food, nothing more; the exact price comes with each invite. No memberships; if that ever changes, the list hears first.
No. It's a crew thing. People meet, sure; that's what rooms full of good people do. But there are no profiles, no matching, nothing to swipe.
You're exactly who this is for. Say so when you join, and you'll have a crew before doors: you walk in with people the first time.
We write when there's something worth your time: something coming together, news that actually matters. No drip campaigns, no sharing, no selling, ever. What happens between the people who were there stays there, and standing here is between people too: no points, no scores, nothing public.
Selectors, hosts, and people who love running a warm room are the backbone of this. Join the list and tell us which one you are.
/the-list
Leave your email and you're in the loop: a hello right away, first word when something comes together, and a real person whenever you reply. Small rooms, good people, the whole way.
you're on it. we'll be in touch, no rush.
that didn't go through. give it a minute and try again.
