For over a decade, MASKARAVE was THE premire Halloween event to attend.

Here's the history:

#1.

Oct 30, 1992: Held at the original Sound Factory space (later Twilo, now closed), MASKARAVE™ was put together by SCOTTO, MOBY, DB,and Marcy Weber (MOBY's manager) and was the first NASA concert production outside of the regular Friday nights at Club Shelter. It featured the original NASA Dj roster, Moby, DB, Ani, Jason Jinx, Mr.Kleen, and SoulSlinger with live performances by ALTERN 8 from ENGLAND and MOBY. over 3200 people attended this CMJ event in the pouring down rain.

# 2.

Oct 30, 1993: It was held at the New York Coliseum ( now torn down) where we not only sold out the room - but No one had that kind of attendance at the Coliseum since the WHO played there in 1977! MASKARAVE Featured our official launch of the NASA U.S. tour "See the Light" with live shows from MOBY, APHEX TWIN, ORBITAL, and VAPOURSPACE and DJ's Josh Wink, D'mitry of Dee-lite, Adam X, Heather Heart, Mark Spoon, Dj Tim of the Utah Saints, and the NASA Dj's rounding it off.
