They are founders. + +## March 2021 + +New York was still locked down when the first cohort found each other. Not through Instagram. Not through flyers. Through word of mouth in a city where the only mouths still talking were the ones desperate enough to leave the house for a basement with a sound system. + +I discovered techno at a Brooklyn rave during the lockdown of March 2021. I liked that almost no one was wearing a mask. One time, I threw up on the dance floor from chain-smoking cigarettes. A bunch of ravers rushed to help — poured water over my head, helped me to the chill room, wiped off the vomit, offered to call an Uber. I was back on the dancefloor after 30 minutes. I started going out three times a week after that. + +That moment is the founding mythology. Not a business plan. Not a brand strategy. A room full of strangers who took care of someone who was having the worst physical moment of their night, and then welcomed them back. + +## The founding cohort + +The lockdown ravers are a distinct loyalty cohort. They found community through dark music when there was nothing else. Larry attended 25 SLIST events in 2024 alone — a Queens-based regular who represents the type of person this project exists for. Not a scene politician. Not an influencer. A person who shows up because the music matters and the community delivers. + +These are the people who defended the brand before any commercial element existed. When the cancel campaigns hit, when the scene tried to push us out, the lockdown cohort held. Not because we asked them to. Because the community we built meant something to them that no Instagram callout could override. +Diff truncated (42 lines total). View full commit on GitHub →
