Laylit is a platform and collective celebrating music and artists from the Arab/SWANA region and its diaspora. Over the last seven years their dance parties have carved out an unmatched place in North American and European nightlife, becoming an anticipated social gathering and unique musical experience. With recent features in the New York Times and Pitchfork and three Boiler Room events in NYC, DC and Montreal, the party is now active in more than 10 cities.
Each party takes you on a genre-spanning journey, highlighting the incredible musical diversity, depth and richness that comes out of the region. Laylit has established its place on the scene with a signature electronic sound blending shaabi, dabke, mahraganat, Arabic pop and hip-hop with contemporary, boundary pushing dance music (techno, breakbeat, hyperpop…) inspired by New York and Montreal’s thriving underground clubs.
Laylit values inclusivity and unity across cultures, languages, dialects, religions, identity and sexual orientations.

Safety Monitor Team:
Elsewhere will be using our new in-house Safety Monitor team made up of individuals with long experience both working in and enjoying night life in New York City. If you are feeling distressed or uncomfortable, please seek out a member of our Safety Monitor team, who will be wearing reflective green sashes and blinking wristbands, and they can assist you.
We encourage a present and engaged dance floor…
You can head to the courtyard to chat, take pictures and use your phone. Let’s avoid doing so on the dance floor!
