A four-storey mansion flanked by both the scenic Hudson River and the thriving Hell's Kitchen district, Pacha NYC combines all the size, stature and grandeur you'd expect from the American capital with the sleek sheen embodied by Ibiza's Pacha. Not to mention some of the highest tech around and guests like Richie Hawtin and Danny Tenaglia - who played a historic back-to-back set there last summer.

"The soundsystem was made for the DJ by a DJ and really is second to none," explains Subliminal's Erick Morillo, who has invested financially and creatively in the venue.
