Boris Classics | Part 1 of 3: Roxy (1998-2000)

[@TheSkyfitsheaven]

from 1997 to 2000 the best years of my life and the best x and k ; i used to have so much fun from saturday at the roxy until 6 am and then go to twilo up to the closing sometimes at 7 pm on sundays,, those days wont ever come back...

[@PhoenixNARC]

It wasn't mention but Boris used to spin at Club Tilt on Varick. He also spinned at Carbon where he started to blow up. There wasn't a night where i didn't personally said hi and shook his hand and thanked him even before the night started for me because I knew it was NEVER going to be a disappointing night. Unfortunately I was no longer allowed to approach him to personally shake his hand and thank him for what I guess was for security reasons since he was reaching celebrity status. I will say, It was nice to witness the birth of a genius. Thanks you for filling my nights with your amazing talent!

I went to “Tilt” around 93 when Roger S. was playing.

ok boomer

[@jackbua8638]

@@juanshaftpatel7488 no doubt I am old. No doubt times have changed and they aren’t going back to the good times we had.

[@ultraloyalservant2felineov41]

Basically the party would last until the X and K wore off! Sick memories to last a lifetime! Great crowds, music, light show!

[@aakim58]

I was there in 1984. The best times. 😢

[@stephennorfleet1814]

Wow, really miss that place. Had so much fun there on Saturday nights which featured gay-themed parties. So many memories - from seeing Madonna perform there, to hearing countless big name DJs spin. My how times have changed. New York is nowhere near what it use to be. Finding a decent club nowadays requires a trip to Brooklyn as there aren't any places in Manhattan to dance. Roxy, Twilo, Sound Factory, Tunnel, Palladium, Paradise Garage, Loft, et al, RIP.

[@justincesarski314]

Big Fridays were the bomb!!!!

[@jacknjill3000]

Someone on my fb just brought up the Roxy night club and the roller skating parties.

[@jacknjill3000]

Never been to the Roxy, but the first time I went to NYC, my friend and I saw was walking around late. I heard music coming from a club and didn’t know where we were. So I told my friend this area looks like a housing projects and we better not head towards the club. I did see the club banner or am something that said 1018. And I knew that where Louie Vega and Kenny Dope was playing freestyle. So now I’m wondering if that place I saw was actually the Roxie bc the guy in the video said 1018 had a club there. (Not sure of 1018 was only at the Roxy or was at other locations?) I’ve been to many clubs in NYC, but this guess Roxy wasn’t as popular in the mid 90’s? I remember the old Studio 54 turned in a Latin club in the mid 90’s

Wednesday Night Roller Skating!

[@fleuricruz8552]

Waoo my time waooo,

[@latlanticcityphil]

Roxy, great times, and great memories, West St mob, Afrika Bambata,Yello etc..., and If you where late like 12:15 am you might not get in because of they where always pack

[@paranoidhumanoid]

Also Discotheque after hours. Boris and Xacta and the straight/gay+voguing+freaks crowd were the best.

[@Tommy-km7cs]

Anyone know the track at around 2:34?

[@Johnny2Feathers]

“Someone To Hold” - Veronica

[@joshuabuckner2878]

[@carminemg]

Apartment buildings now =(

[@kevinonthank]

Oh Really? That's awful. Manhatten has changed so much. It will never be the same like this. The vibe was special. The 90s and early 2000's were where it was at. Those were the days!!! Used to come from upstate NY just go to the Roxy and Twilo. Really amazing times.
