Going In is among the first projects supported by the NYC Office of Nightlife’s Nightlife Grant, a new initiative aimed at strengthening and sustaining New York City’s nightlife ecosystem. Going In is a 12-hour immersive listening broadcast exploring long-form compositions for deeply expanded states and attentive listening. The program brings together artists working with slow, non-directive sound and durational forms that support sustained presence, collective atmosphere, and immersive listening. Going In is a sub-label of The Bunker New York and a project of Beyond Booking focused on long-form compositions and listening-centered environments. Rather than a traditional broadcast format, the program unfolds as a continuous transmission designed to support immersive and attentive listening over the course of the day. The 2026 program features live sets from Abby Echiverri, Ami Dang, Chloe Alexandra Thompson, Christina Wheeler, Gamelatron, Imaginary Softwoods, Infinity Machine, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Kelly Moran, Kroba, Omar Ahmad x DJ Haram, and The Transcendence Orchestra (Anthony Child, Dan Bean, C. Lavender), with interludes throughout the day curated by Matt Xavier. The broadcast will also feature a collaborative altar installation by Samantha de Maryela honoring Red Hook artists affected by the 2025 fire at 481 Van Brunt St, creating a space for reflection, gathering, and healing within the broader community. This broadcast is designed to support a shared environment of attentive listening and presence, and will be streamed live and free to the public via The Lot Radio, with live visual manipulations by ACE accompanying the stream. The full broadcast will remain publicly accessible as part of The Lot Radio archive. This program is supported by the Nightlife Grant administered by the NYC Department of Small Business Services and its NYC Office of Nightlife. The Grant provides funding to nonprofit organizations that strengthen and sustain New York City’s nightlife ecosystem.
