I'm calling myself out.

By Nico Lustgarten

My priority at AK was to develop Saturday nights with an identity. I didn’t just want a hot night there. I wanted one of the hottest nights in the East Village. I’m reminded of this as the cruelty of winter dwindles and spring emerges from this shitty season.

People are beginning to catch on as these Saturday evenings pass. The music I play is interchangable between genre and completely ignorant of boundary. It is as unhinged and as free-spirited as I am. My hope is that it continues to attract people who don’t care to define themselves with narrow minds and lifestyles. That’s the point of the music I play. It’s to attract everyone and fulfill that disgustingly cheesy and domineering belief I have of bringing new friends together to build a community of revelers who can depend on an environment, and eachother to release inhibition to the wind and free themselves from the drudgery of the week. It’s cutesy and cheesy and idealistic — sure but I know you want it too.

Thank you to all who have attended almost every night. I can’t exactly share, with words, my sincere appreciation but I will eventually find a way with gifts. I can offer a soundtrack to beat down the last slow and dreadful heartbeat of winter.
