Harrison Patrick Smith is the maestro behind New York City’s latest obsession: The Dare. Blame him for the city’s sudden horniness—it’s all part of the electroclash revival. Channeling the spirit of late 2000s bloghouse with a post-COVID twist, The Dare’s anthemic tunes are as cheeky as they are irresistible. As Harrison puts it, his music is all about being fun, dangerous, and stylish—perfect for the city’s club scene. Catch him at Freakquencies, his Thursday night DJ residency, where he’s giving New York’s restless youth the permission they need to let loose. Harrison Patrick Smith: the party starter the city never knew it needed.
