Thanksgiving orphans in New York can roll their faces off on tryptophan and dance off the pumpkin pie at the NYC Edition of La Vieille Ecole (meaning The Old School in French), Vienna’s old school tech house electro get-down hosted by vocalist/producer/woman-about-the-world G.rizo and SM84 of Wrckd.

Austria’s party export is gonna get some support from APT, Citinite,  Zero”, and yours truly, Trash Menagerie! Sleaze electro/house legend Christopher Just and raunchmaster of beats Jimmy Edgar hold down the fort with G.rizo, who’ll most likely drop tracks her latest tracks, plus those by collaborators like In Flagranti, Alexander Robotnik and Snax.
