Forty-eight parties have held a residency in this room. Sixteen still have dates on the calendar. Each one is run by its own DJ or collective, each one turns the room into something different, and each one came back often enough to become a fixture. Here they all are.
A one‑off is a good night. A residency is a night that learns. The crowd finds it, the host reads the room and adjusts, and by the third or fourth edition the party has a personality of its own. Everything below has passed that point: every party that has run here more than once, from a three‑edition run to a Monday jam that has played ninety‑eight times.
Want one of these? Applications for 2027 residencies are open — one night a month at Margolis, a season at a time. Looking for a specific date instead? The full calendar has every night at Margolis, residencies and one‑offs together, and a single date starts at host a public event.
16 parties with dates still to come. Editions counts every time the night has run here, going back to the room opening.
