Young Hearts

A cross-generational trans-galactic soul-strengthening discotheque for all - Young Hearts is rooted in art, disco, classic dance, diversity and sweaty sexy togetherness on the dance floor.

Organized by nightlife veteran Kevin Kauer / Nark Magazine alongside Simon Malvaez, Young Hearts is a party with a goal to empower and embody different generations of dancers and party people with or allied to the LGBTQIA community. Together in one safe, inclusive and non-pretentious space.
