Creating Space: Gage Spex // The Spectrum
Episode 3
Tuesday, 16 June, 2026
Whether you live in a massive metropolis or a tiny town- the places to gather and dance might dwindle over time. Or it could be that they're simply be non-existent from the jump. Those DIY prone might be driven to carve out space, and by proxy change culture. But just what does it take to create something from seemingly nothing?I’m joined by Gage Spex, co-collaborator of The Spectrum and Dreamhouse; experimental and queer spaces that have fundamentally altered NYC arts and music scenes. As havens for expression and exploration- they pushed boundaries, dramatically impacting people personally and society at large. It took vision, grit, determination and a chockfull of creativity to navigate challenges in order to build and maintain these communal spaces. Tune in to hear how they did it- and perhaps get inspired.Have an insatiable appetite for all things rave?
