Since 2003, The Freedom Party has been a cornerstone of New York City's dance-floor culture. Founded by Herbert Holler (with early partners Cosi and Marc Smooth), this brand birthed one of the era’s premier old-school dance nights, celebrated for its energetic vibes, inclusive atmosphere, and commitment to classic floor-fillers from the golden era of dance music. The party has earned notable accolades—Papermag’s Best Party (2010) and Village Voice’s Best Dance Party (2015)—and marked a milestone with its sold-out 800th event at Irving Plaza in 2020. While not a traditional artist with a studio discography, The Freedom Party remains a catalyst for unforgettable live experiences, residencies, and touring across major cities.
