Junction kicks off Jan. 12 at Brillobox
New year, new dance parties. On Sat., Jan. 12, a fresh monthly dance event called Junction premieres at Brillobox. Occurring every second Saturday of the month, Junction is a true open format dance party inspired by events in Philadelphia and New York City.

The addition to Brillobox's lineup was created by Pittsburgh local DJ Shoe, who sees the party “as a place where people from different sides of the city will come to dance to music from across the U.S. and world.” 

Joining Shoe as co-resident DJ is the talented DJ Aesthetics, a multifaceted local artist who is entering her second year as a DJ. 

On the Junction dance floor, party-goers can expect to hear all types of music: Afrobeat, dancehall, funk, hip hop, house, Jersey club, New Orleans bounce, R&B, soul, trap, and more. 

Each month, the 21 and older event goes from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., with a $7 cover at the door.
