On a crisp night high above New York City, the skyline shimmered like a dream as legendary DJ and producer Maceo Plex turned the Edge into a euphoric dance floor in the clouds. Invited by Marquee New York and the renowned Tao Group Hospitality, EDMLICIOUS had the chance to witness a night that was nothing short of magic.
This special night also marked the grand opening of Marquee’s rooftop pop-up at The Edge, launched while their iconic club undergoes renovations throughout the summer. And what a way to kick it off — with one of the world’s most respected DJs and the entire city skyline as the backdrop.
From the moment the music dropped, it was clear this wasn’t just a party — it was an experience. Backed by a panoramic view of Manhattan lit up under the stars, the energy surged through the crowd with every bassline. Maceo Plex delivered an unreal performance, blending melodic techno, deep house, and futuristic grooves that kept us dancing non-stop. His set masterfully weaved hypnotic progressions with high-energy drops — elevating the already electric atmosphere.
But let’s talk about the venue. The Edge NYC — the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere — offered a jaw-dropping 360° view of the Empire State Building, Times Square, and beyond. As the city pulsed below, it felt like we were raving on top of the world.
If there was one thing to note: the night was pretty chilly and windy, so if you’re heading to any rooftop shows soon, bring a jacket — trust us, your future self will thank you.
