“I never go out without looking like I just stepped out of Vogue,” says scene queen turned promoter Aeryn Pfaff, who got his start putting together hot parties as part of the twink army that made Sodom a success. On his favourite night, “I had Nina Arsenault drip a hot wax design all over my torso and wore it for the rest of the night,” he says. With the help of fellow host Angel (from the Haus of Omega) and DJs Chris Abbott and Rhubix, Pfaff is looking to throw a party of his own, “an alternative to the pop music parties in the Village. No themes, no dress codes; just wear whatever makes you feel fresh. It’s about people with all kinds of styles coming together to listen to the dirtiest beats available.” Pfaff himself will be on the decks, spinning electro gems by everybody from Skrillex to Major Lazer. He promises the party will be like a great one-night stand, where “you don’t remember what happened but you wake up with your ears still ringing.”
