A loose archive of the feeling of 3 AM when everything seems to click in chaos. This channel collects the artifacts, sounds, and images of nightlife: what happens when the city opens up after dark? There's club photography, DJ mixes, disco parties, dance on film, cocktail imagery, neon signs, and the graphic + written language of going out. What connects these blocks is my interest in the dance floor as both a widespread cultural phenomenon and lived experience. As you browse, you will see how music, bodies, fashion, and design collide in the dark.

“There is no night life in Spain. They stay up late but they get up late. That is not night life. That is delaying the day. Night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. Night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. Night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. Night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. If you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.” -Ernest Hemingway, 88 Poemsdelaying the day
