New York City is synonymous with dance music. Yet, in recent years the city has seen club after club shutter their doors. Pacha NYC, Cielo, Space, Webster Hall have all closed their doors permanently. After a spiral of rumors yesterday, Brooklyn's internationally recognized club, Output has announced it will be closing forever on the first of the new year.
This comes as a major blow to the dance music scene in Brooklyn. Output was known for its no-frills experience which connected fans directly to the artist playing the music. Taking photos with phones was strictly prohibited, and there was no bottle service nor VIP area. Output existed just for people to get lost in the music. Tens of thousands got lost in the music several times a week for many years.
Due to skyrocketing rent, many property owners are selling their buildings, and clubs who hold leases on these spots are forced to close up. Read the full statement from Output below.
