The Shelter (New York City)

Nightclub in New York City

The Shelter, also known as Club Shelter, is a New York City dance music and house music nightclub started during the 1990s. The club was at multiple locations including 6 Hubert Street, 157 Hudson Street, and 150 Varick Street in Manhattan depending on the date. The Shelter was established by resident DJs Timmy Regisford, Merlin Bobb, and Freddy Sanon. The club is closely associated with record label 157 Shelter Records.

History

In 1991, The Shelter opened its doors following the closing of Paradise Garage. The Shelter became a sanctuary for people to express themselves in which race and sexual orientation did not matter.

The Shelter's most active promoters and DJs were collectively known as "N.A.S.A." (Nocturnal Audio + Sensory Awakening), who hosted parties at the club on Friday night. The dance floor had an incredibly loud 37,000 watt sound system, installed by David Soto, who was brought into the project by Garage-era DJ legend Timmy Regisford. The speaker cabinets were larger than the dancers.
