On the East River, a massive European warehouse party
"Anyone who was at Time Warp was a part of history."
By 4 a.m. on Saturday, as most New Yorkers were already back in the comfort of their beds, thousands of wide-eyed revelers were just arriving at a massive party inside a 10-acre industrial complex on the banks of the East River.
Stepping inside the two-room warehouse, I was immediately transported. Colorful lights bounced off sweating bodies. Hypnotic beats reverberated in my chest. Dancers in extravagant costumes wove in and out of the crowd.
After a four-year hiatus, Germany’s Time Warp, one of the most coveted techno music festivals in the world, was returning to the U.S. for just the third time in its history, thanks to veteran Brooklyn party promoter Teksupport.
