Dera Collective

Where culture meets sound.

The Collective

It is a warehouse on 152A Street with seventeen foot ceilings, and the room turns into whatever the night needs. A long dinner, a live show, a launch party, or a dance floor that runs late.

We are new, but we have been doing this for years, so we know what a room actually needs. Real space, sound you can feel, lighting that makes everyone look good, and a team that sweats the details so you do not have to. That is the room we built.

One Room, Many Nights

No. 1

The long table

Draped ceilings, low lamplight, and one long table that sits everyone who matters. Dinners, receptions and big celebrations dress the room up without losing the mood.

No. 2

The late night

This is what the room does best. DJ nights, club takeovers, release parties. A warehouse built around the sound, big enough for a real crowd and dark enough to keep it moving.

The show

Live sets and listening nights under the projection ceiling. You bring the artist, and we bring the room, the staging, and a crowd standing close enough to feel it.

The Rooms
