30 YEARS OF SAIMON
66 nights thrown. 11,094 through the door.
SLIST started in Mexico City in 2021 as a weekly list of other people's parties, and has thrown its own nights in New York since December 2023, now in Brooklyn. Most of the crowd buys a ticket without checking the lineup, because the product is the night itself: the order of the sets, the sound, and who is in the room. The archive keeps every flyer, so you can see how that was built.
Dark is a vibe, not a BPM.
Mood first, genre-agnostic. The filter every track on a SLIST lineup runs through.
House rules
No set times.
We don't post who plays when. Come early and stay late.
Wear black.
Most people do. Nobody checks at the door.
Phones down.
Film a little if you want. Ask first, keep it low, no flash.
No requests.
Let the DJ play. Talk at the bar, not over the set.
Dark describes a mood, not a tempo or a look. In practice that means music in minor keys that you feel in your chest more than your feet. The house rules are short because each one came from something that went wrong. Five organized campaigns have tried to cancel SLIST, three in Mexico City and two in New York, and every one made the rules stricter.
Start with About. Then read the Lore, the House rules, and what we mean by Dark.
Booked DJs are asked to play deeper than at their other gigs, and to bring the risky records they rarely get to play anywhere else. A night runs about six hours, from ambient openers to industrial peaks, and the order matters as much as the names. We book by feeling, not by tempo or follower count.

Between nights the community talks in one live chat. Messages are translated as they arrive into English, Spanish or Chinese, and you can post under a pseudonym when saying something under your own name would cost you. Every morning one email covers dark music, film and books, and the numbers behind each night: venue splits, what headliners cost, and which nights lost money.
SLIST has no outside funding and no equity partners, so the people who build it are the people who show up. DJs send a mix, photographers shoot in the dark, and venues bring rooms with good sound. Promoters earn 15% on every ticket they sell, paid to their bank a few days after each night.
SLIST WEAR is the clothing line, made in the black the covenant already asks for. The shop has no products yet, so this is where the first drop will appear. Browse the clothing
The FAQ covers tickets, age limits, what to wear and refunds. Tickets are refundable up to 48 hours before a night and transferable after that, to anyone who meets the age and dress requirements. For anything else, the contact page reaches the team.
