The Best Halloween Raves in NYC 2016

Although festival season is coming to a close, EDM lovers around the world still have many opportunities to rave. New York may not rock the Insomniac events that SoCal gets, but we still party as hard when we get the chance.

Halloween in NYC is always a flop -- bars are overcrowded, parties get shut down, the list of grievances goes on. The exception to that is Halloween Raves; trust me on this, you'll forever crave the rave.

Here's a mini-guide of the top events to check out this month:

1. Pier of Fear: Above & Beyond (Friday, October 28th)

Held annually at the Pier 94 warehouse in Hell's Kitchen, Pier of Fear is nothing short of insane (in the best way possible). The event has had an impressive list of artists and DJs that have graced the stage: Last year PoF had Skrillex, Marshmallow, Kaskade, Armin van Buuren...the year before PoF hosted names like Tommy Trash, Adventure Club and Knife Party. In addition to the stacked setlist, the light-show is always top tier.

This year PoF welcomes legendary trance-trio Above & Beyond. Above & Beyond reigns as famed trance artists and have produced extensive studio albums, including We Are All We Need (2015), Group Therapy (2011) and Tri-State (2006). I saw them live on their 2015 tour at Electric Zoo and they were mind-blowing. Their music is touching and inspiring, yet catchy and addictive, the best of the best. Even better, Above & Beyond fans are some of the most dedicated, feel-good fans I have ever raved with. Listen here

2.RPM, Mr. Bugsly, Good Looks Collective: HI-LOWEEN (Friday, October 28th)

RPM has added more events to the mix with the Brooklyn Hangar venue joining the Halloween rave game. The first night has Hi-Lo, deep house producer Oliver Helden's side project/new alias. HI-LO's sound is darker and deeper, with "Renegade Mastah" propelling HI-LO into the spotlight. This is the first year that Brooklyn Warehouse is participating in Halloweekend, but RPM's amazing curation usually guarantees a good time.

3. RPM, Mr. Bugsly, Good Looks Collective: Galantis (Saturday, October 29th)

Brooklyn Warehouse is turning up two nights in a row, with Swedish duo Galantis finishing off the weekend. Galantis swept the EDM community with their singles "Runaway (U & I)" and "No Money".

Happy Raving!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
