We’re excited to announce that Mahmut Orhan is returning to New York on February 8th, 2025, bringing his new visual and auditory experience, Revo, to the Knockdown Center. This will be his first time performing Revo in NYC, and it’s an event you won’t want to miss.

After selling out our last two events with Mahmut, we recommend securing your tickets early as this show is expected to sell out quickly.

Mahmut Orhan, a Turkish DJ, producer, and composer, has been a mainstay on the global music scene for nearly a decade. Known for blending deep house, indie dance, and nu disco with traditional Turkish melodies, he has topped dance charts across Europe and performed at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, Coachella, and in Ibiza at Pacha and Ushuaïa.

The Knockdown Center, a 160-year-old venue with a rich history and unique industrial atmosphere, will provide the perfect setting for Mahmut’s Revo experience.

For its first edition of 2025, RUSH invites Parisian trailblazers Nico Moreno and ØTTA alongside NY veterans Volvox and MORENXXX.

On his Insolent Rave imprint, Moreno has staked his claim with a seismic sound that seizes the dancefloor with unstoppable force. Named after his breakout EP, Moreno’s vision is pointed squarely at huge, dominating powerhouse bangers with a touch of industrial. ØTTA matches his speed with a feverish, bouncy sound. Tracks like “Lowkey Twerk” and “Cria” are pure rushes of adrenaline, sending the dance floor to spiraling heights. Meilgaarden makes her RUSH debut. The BASEMENT regular and Sound Gymnastics founder displays a special knack for slinky, syrupy rave tracks, tapping into iconic past futures where acidic tendrils interweave with kaleidoscopic precision. MORENXXX seals the deal with joyously unbridled power. Not a drop will be wasted.

On Sunday March 30th, the legendary German guitarist Michael Rother headlines Outline, playing music from the two groups he is most known for: Neu! and Harmonia. The former was his landmark venture into hypnotic, "motorik" music following a brief stint as one of the founding members of Kraftwerk. The latter was a revered collaboration with German experimental/ambient pioneers Cluster. Each of these projects reshaped rock into a bold new framework: hypnotic and mercurial, fusing the spaciousness of dub with a lean, pared-back palette that mirrored the minimalist compositions of Philip Glass and Steve Reich, the conceptual provocations of Fluxus and the taut rigor of proto-punk. Rother's vast discography is a treasure trove of irreplaceable, flowing avant-rock that has influenced generations without ever having been replicated. The same could be said of Thurston Moore. The former Sonic Youth frontman joins, fresh off the release of his new album "Flow Critical Lucidity." He's leading an ensemble alongside Australia's narcotic pop duo HTRK and Japanese experimental songwriter and highly respected film composer Eiko Ishibashi.

For the second spring edition of Outline, post-rock titans Explosions in the Sky headline. One of the key groups to define massive, crescendoing rock in the '00s, EITS writes, in their own words, "cathartic mini symphonies." They deliver a sense of scale and depth to the stage that few touring bands can match. Iceland's múm plays a rare set. The beloved electronic-pop group brings a rare intimacy and power to a sonic palette often described as twee, writing songs with a delicate sincerity and sense of easy play that is truly captivating. Guatemalan composer and cellist Mabe Fratti fuses breezy prog decadence and fleet-footed jazzy flourishes with crushing, stoner rock power. Philadelphia's They Are Gutting a Body of Water channels thick, noisy indie music with an immaculate sensibility. Dutch artist upsammy, best known as a DJ, performs live. Her music is restlessly inventive, folding IDM, bass music, techno and folktronica into something singular. Finally, Mexico's Diles Que No Me Maten imbues a heartfelt swagger and woozy grandeur into their sprawling, modern post-punk.
