Tao Group Hospitality follows the grand reopening of the newly redesigned Marquee New York on Thursday, September 25, with a powerful Fall 2025 season featuring an all-star lineup including A-list international stars Fisher, Kölsch and more.

After undergoing a complete renovation, Marquee New York has been completely reimagined from the ground up. Designed in collaboration with acclaimed architect Jack Hotho, the revamped space pays homage to the club’s storied past while embracing the future of nightlife. The refreshed design is warm, music-driven, and content-focused, featuring a more expansive dance floor, immersive visual technology, and an upgraded LED system. Rich dark oak textures and subtle purple accents lend the venue a moody elegance that complements its elevated guest experience.

The reopening of Marquee NY marked a bright new era for the legendary venue with an electrifying lineup with none other than chart-dominating and era-defining star Diplo. After that, Dim Mak party-starter Steve Aoki brought high octane thrills on September 26, and September 27 saw Zedd's melodic big-room sound in town. 

On October 3, Robin Schulz will bring his signature blend of deep house and pop-laced beats, followed by tech-house heavyweight and 'Losing It' legend Fisher on October 4. Alan Walker takes the stage on October 10 to deliver his cinematic, bass-driven sound, October 17 sees Kölsch's melodic techno stylings offer a deeper, more emotional club experience, while October 18 welcomes bassline innovator Chris Lorenzo to push the boundaries of house and UK garage. On October 23, Belgian superstar Dimitri Vegas delivers high-energy, big-room euphoria, and Francis Mercier makes an appearance on October 25 with his deep house and Afro-inspired rhythms. The month concludes with Kaskade’s uplifting, melodic sounds on October 30 and Max Styler on Halloween with his main-stage indie dance sounds.

November kicks off with Dutch powerhouse Afrojack on the 8th and his festival-ready drops and EDM classics, followed by the cinematic storytelling KSHMR on November 14 before the season wraps up with the enigmatic Claptone on November 15, delivering a spellbinding mix of deep house and groove-laden mystery. 

With this unveiling, Marquee reinforces its status as a pillar of New York nightlife and continues to host the world’s top DJs and live acts, now with a renewed focus on immersive design, premium sound, and unparalleled hospitality.

KÖLSCH SETS KINEMA IN MOTION WITH ‘ALL WEEK’

The next single from Kölsch's forthcoming album arrives September 26th, leading into a visionary live tour this fall

The path toward Kölsch’s forthcoming album begins with 'All Week,' the opening single from KINEMA and the first taste of a project that stretches beyond the studio and onto the stage. Arriving on Kölsch's own label IPSO, the release signals the start of an ambitious year for the Danish producer, one that pairs a dynamic, forward-thinking LP with a daring new live show, ‘Kölsch and the Machine’. Together, they chart the next artistic chapter for one of techno's most human voices. Mark your calendar, as 'All Week' lands on streaming services everywhere.

If KINEMA pulses with identity, ‘All Week’ distills it into a single frame. Shuffling percussion and crisp snares carve out an addictive, unorthodox groove, while a worldly wind lead slips into focus, smooth yet kinetic in a single breath. As the track unfolds, the drums begin to spar with a swelling bassline in a tantalizing call and response that feels primal yet universal. As a first taste of KINEMA, the single works not because it defines the album’s entire palette, but because it hints at its scope. The record is less about sharpening a single formula and more about exploring a diverse spectrum of lush soundscapes that, when woven together, form the greater tapestry that is KINEMA.

That vision reaches full scale with 'Kölsch and the Machine', a new live show that brings KINEMA to life with modular performance and reimagined classics. Launching October 23 at Amsterdam Dance Event and traveling across Europe through the year’s end, the show represents a full circle moment, marking a long-awaited return to Kölsch's creative roots.

The next chapter begins on September 26 when 'All Week' hits streaming services worldwide, followed by the full KINEMA album and its lead single ‘Sad Makes Me Happy’ on October 17. Find more information about the live show, Kölsch and the Machine, including tickets and tour dates here.

Through a fusion of production mastery and deeply emotive techno, Kölsch has become one of the genre’s most singular voices. Building towards his upcoming Kölsch and the Machine live tour and accompanying KINEMA album, he continues to stand as one of the scene’s most defining figures. Over the years he has collaborated with a range of renowned artists including Coldplay, Imogen Heap, London Grammar, and Damon Albarn, as well as electronic heavyweights such as ARTBAT, Anyma, WhoMadeWho, and Kevin de Vries, showcasing a producer confident in wearing many creative hats. Alongside releases on his IPSO label with Michael Mayer, Tiga, and Sasha, Kölsch’s sound bridges raw vulnerability and electronic power. Raised in Copenhagen’s Christiania commune, he draws on a lifetime of artistic exploration to create music that feels both universal and deeply personal, a vision perhaps best captured in his unforgettable Cercle set atop the Eiffel Tower.
