Night ferries carry synthwave

The longest-running independent synth night is coming home. After two summers in borrowed basements, the Night Ferries return to the terminal roof — slow arpeggios under open sky, with the last sailing of the night as the closing act.

Residents play back-to-back with guests from the ferry route cities, and the rulebook hasn't changed: hardware only, tempos under 110, and the final record always ends before the 00:40 sailing so nobody misses the boat home.

Broadcasts from the roof

Harborlight carries the midnight hour of every sailing live on All Night Frequencies — including the horn, the water and the crowd singing the timetable. The terminal roof holds three hundred; the radio holds everyone else.

Season passes are limited to the roof's capacity. When they're gone, the radio is the room.
