On Saturday, January 31st, RICHARD comes back into your life.
RICHARD exists in the haze — fog thick in the air, lights cutting sharp, basslines pressing close. The dancefloor becomes a sanctuary — a place to release control, express freely, and exist without expectation. A place to let go without explanation.
The night is constructed by Chris Mercier, moving between director, producer, and DJ, the night slips into motion. Subtle yet sometimes intense but always deliberate. It's less about what you see, more about what you feel - a deeper descent into the city’s Queer underground.
The music is heavy and driving. Deep rhythms, dark textures, and low frequencies designed to pull you inward, work up a sweat, and keep you there.
Connection is inevitable.
Community forms in the dark.
Love hums beneath it all.
RICHARD has one rule and one rule only:
All are welcome — don’t disrupt the groove.
The dancefloor open at 10PM
