Drum and bass never really took in America the way it did in Britain, which means the people who love it here found it deliberately. Nobody backs into liking a genre at 174 beats per minute. Every single person in that room went looking.
That is what makes these nights feel like a smaller country inside the city. The tempo is punishing and the sub-bass is the actual instrument, so the room has to be built for it — a downtown warehouse with concrete and a rig that can move air. Lens works the deeper, rollier end rather than the aggressive one, which rewards staying for a full set instead of dipping in for the drops.
Nine at night to two in the morning, Saturday the tenth, on East 16th in the warehouse district.
