Description

No Requests is proud to celebrate Portland Pride 2022 by hosting a spectacular slate of DJs who are all members of our local LGBTQIA+ communities. Our goal is to create an inclusive, safe, and FUN series of events honoring dance music culture’s roots in LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. ABOUT PRIDE:Pride’s observance in June commemorates the 1969 Stonewall rebellion against police harassment, which accelerated the fight for LGBTQIA+ liberation. For marginalized communities then and now, nightlife continues to be a refuge of acceptance, safety, community, and advocacy. In the years after Stonewall, queer, Black, and Latinx communities created disco, which soundtracked the explosion of queer nightlife in the 70s. Disco (and its subsequent evolution into house and techno via BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ DJs and producers) created the framework for the inclusive legacy of dance music culture that No Requests strives to uphold and advance.

About No RequestsIn 2021, a group of friends were out late one night in Portland, looking for a place to listen and dance to amazing house music artists and DJs.We weren’t just looking for any club. We were looking for a house music oasis. A place that consistently embodies the club culture we grew up with, where house and electronic music is enjoyed by everyone, without intolerance or judgement. But… we couldn’t find it in the way we wanted. We were an eclectic mix. Passionate house music DJs influenced by the European club culture, event curators and long time DJs from Portland, and transplants from all over the world who now call Portland home. One day, we came together to create a new concept based on our experiences and our love of house music. As an eclectic bunch of music lovers, we know that diversity has always been at the heart of club culture and house music. Celebrating and respecting everyone regardless of religion, race, physical ability, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity is the foundation of club culture. After months of creative planning, we decided to contribute to the house music scene in Portland in a very special way and open a club called No Requests. At No Requests, we follow a radically open dance floor and door policy. We ensure that all of our house music events embody the club culture that we love, believe in, and want to foster, while keeping our guests as safe as possible during this time of ambiguity. Our commitment is to consistently showcase the best Portland-based house music DJs as well as regional (Oregon), national, and international house music DJs, while celebrating diversity and equality, and constantly innovating the experiences and services at No Requests. And by doing so, Portland's club culture and house music scene will be globally recognized as one of the top destinations for house and electronic music.‍ No Requests, and no regrets.
