What We Are

Mad Desire is a recurring dance party in Portland built around the music that never got its due: Italo disco, synthwave, cosmic funk, and the overlooked classics that belong on a proper sound system. Just good records, a decent room, and people who want to actually dance. Berman & Berman behind the decks. See you on the floor.

Field Notes

What do I wear?

Andromeda After Dark. Chrome, sequins, metallics, spacewear — whatever makes you feel like you just stepped off a shuttle into the best night of the year. Come as your interstellar self.

Can I bring someone?

Spread the word. Good vibes people ready to dance.

What time does it end?

2AM. Pace accordingly.

Is there a cover?

$5 at the door.

Where exactly is it?

Swan Dive, upstairs room. 727 SE Grand Ave, Portland. Walk up the stairs, follow the sound.

Who's Phoebe?

Phoebe will be doing live portrait-making on the night — catch her in the room and you might end up on the canvas. See her work at @phoebe_makes_it.
