Exciting news for the music scene in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn as the beloved club Paragon is set to reopen its doors on 1st August after being forced to close in April due to rising costs. The club has been given a “generous lifeline” by Detroit techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson, a legendary figure in the world of electronic music and one of the founding members of The Belleville Three.
Saunderson’s support has not only saved Paragon from permanent closure but has also made him an official partner and resident at the club. This partnership signifies a new chapter for the venue, with Saunderson set to headline the official reopening party alongside a stellar lineup of DJs including Carlos Souffront, Ashley Venom, star coyado, and Ana B.
The connection between Saunderson and Paragon runs deep, with the DJ having played two memorable sets at the venue last year that reaffirmed his ties to the neighborhood and the club’s vibrant music scene.
Paragon’s reopening marks a significant moment for the local community and the wider electronic music scene. The club has long been a hub for cutting-edge music and innovative performances, drawing in crowds of music lovers from across the city.
With Saunderson’s involvement, Paragon is poised to reclaim its status as a must-visit destination for both seasoned club-goers and newcomers alike.

As the club prepares to welcome back its loyal patrons and introduce new visitors to its unique atmosphere, there is a sense of anticipation and excitement in the air. The support from Saunderson has breathed new life into Paragon, setting the stage for a dynamic and unforgettable comeback.
A New Chapter for Paragon and Kevin Saunderson
