STS Presents: The Empress Ball

Kremwerk's hottest Thursday night — a dance floor full of the sexiest people you know, pulsing electronic beats, and the kind of energy that keeps you dancing until close. This is where the night gets good.

Seattle's monthly fetish comedy show gets a puppy play twist. Hilarious performers face naughty challenges designed to test their limits—this month, everything revolves around pup gear and handler dynamics. It's a shame-free zone built on consent, with a one-strike rule for creeps and a green-red light system that keeps things playful and sexy without crossing into X-rated territory. Dress in pup gear, bring your handler for BOGO pricing, and cool off in Kremwerk's air conditioning while the wolfpack gathers. Doors at 7pm, show runs 8-10pm.

Five drag superstars—Indie Scent, Kitty Vixen, Vima Venom, Claude Ville, and Canella Dalyte—are launching into outer space in search of more queer magic for Pride Month. Expect a futuristic cabaret that'll have you blasting off to new worlds of sex and euphoria. Shuttles board at 7:00, launch at 8:00. $15 online, $20 at the door.

A fever-dream hyperpop celebration featuring legendary DJs HYPERPOPPERS, Rowan Ruthless, Viper Fengz, and Aquarium Drinker spinning the music of SOPHIE, A.G. Cook, and Charli xcx all night long. Expect pop-up performances from Pupusa, UH OH, Hoochie Papa, and Miss MiMi Gina, plus visuals from Luke Hausman and Brad Leet. This is the last party—a one-night-only event that's part rave, part ritual, entirely unforgettable. $20 presale, $25 at the door.

PLUS ONE is Kremwerk's monthly all-night back-to-back experience where the underground comes alive. N SO—a first-generation Uzbek immigrant and Seattle fixture since 2015—anchors the night with immersive high-energy sets blending bass, breaks, and techno. DJ Radia brings nearly a decade of evolving dance music that fuses spoken word, afro-diasporic rhythms, and pure fun. Reverend Dollars, co-organizer of 100% PURE LOVE and founder of Darqness Seattle, rounds out the lineup with frenetic house, club, and hip-hop beats. This is the kind of night where the dancefloor becomes a shared ritual—sweat, rhythm, and community all night long.

House, garage, techno, jungle — Club CTRL is the all-night electronic music experience that's been a Seattle staple since 2014. CTRL.MP3 brings a huge range of styles and generations together on the Timbre Room dance floor, from the old heads to the youngins' in the crowd. This is what a truly inclusive dance night looks like.
