Beyond Booking offers a wide range of public programming and professional development services that help musical artists create, perform, and grow. We strive to make our programming and performances accessible to individuals regardless of financial, cultural, or physical barriers.
Beyond Booking produces diverse live musical experiences where participants can experience genre-defying experimental music and dance, prioritizing the debuts of new musical works that showcase music’s life-affirming power. Beyond Booking presents two flagship performance series under the names The Bunker New York and Going In, and to date our programming has showcased more than 600 artists in hundreds of local performances since 2003.
Beyond Booking launched its Artist Representation program in 2006 to empower marginalized artists through sound artist management and show booking programs. Today we help a roster of 24 artists to realize healthy, sustainable careers, while offering the same high-quality services via consulting and mentorship programs for emerging artists.

To further amplify artists’ creativity and values, Beyond Booking operates two record labels – The Bunker and Going In–which have distributed more than 60 releases since 2014, resulting in numerous accolades and global audiences, ensuring our artists’ long-term livelihoods.
For over a decade, The Bunker has been a storied night of musical exploration in New York City. The adventurous electronic music lineups—which bring together fringe artists who also know how to move a dancefloor—made the party legendary amongst NYC cognescenti. Starting a record label was the next natural step in The Bunker’s evolution, featuring contributions from artists who frequent the shadows of the party and established guests.
