We seriously just stopped sweating from last night. That's how good the second edition of the RCRD LBL & BING Presents Smoke & Mirrors party featuring Diplo, CREEP and Matt Shadetek was. Hosted by our Creative Director Elliot Aronow and Eyebeam Art + Technology Center, the entire evening was a beautiful mess of innovative beats and crazy dancing all topped with a classic warehouse rave vibe that made it feel like just about anything could happen.
Check out some of our favorite pictures below or head over to Facebook for a full slideshow. Thanks again to BING, Eyebeam and all the artists and fans who came out to party with us!

We will be cutting off RSVPs once the demand is wildly out of control. This is a small room for big talent. Once the room is filled, all others will be turned away.
EVENTS: Smoke & Mirrors - What You Need To Know

The first Smoke & Mirrors featuring Crystal Castles (live), House Of House and Justine D is upon us tomorrow night (September 15). If you received email confirmation of your RSVP, that means you've made the list (and can bring a +1), but does not guarantee entry. Again, this is an extremely small venue, and once we reach capacity, there will be a strict "one in, one out" policy.
Doors open at 9pm and we strongly suggest arriving on the early side if you want to get in. Follow us on Twitter (@rcrdlbl) for updates on the line and capacity, as well as photos and surreal asides from our editorial team inside the event.

EVENT: Bing Presents RCRD LBL Rock-A-Way Summer

Due to a forecast that calls with medium-to-severe thunderstorms throughout the day, we've decided to keep our friends and family safe by moving today's RCRD LBL Rock-A-Way Summer off the beach to Public Assembly in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The show will still take place exactly as billed and start at 8pm. Admission is still free, and we've decided to sweeten the deal with an open bar to take place from 8-9pm. See you there and spread the word!
RCRD LBL Rock-A-Way Summer II
Public Assembly | 8pm | 70 n. 6th Street | L-Train to Bedford Avenue | 21+
Still featuring the powerful DIY stomp of DOM, ecstatic electro workouts from Sheen Bros (featuring Cosmo Baker & 4th Pyramid with Greg Nice) and DJ sets from BAIO (Vampire Weekend), Queen Majesty, Eli Escobar and RCRD LBL's very own Shakeyface.
