Return Records & Groove Kitchen Ring in the New Year at Hotel Chantelle

New York, NY – Return Records and Groove Kitchen kicked off 2025 in unforgettable style with a packed-out New Year’s Eve celebration at Manhattan’s iconic Hotel Chantelle. The event marked a major cultural moment for New York’s underground music scene, drawing fans, artists, and industry tastemakers together for a night of music, community, and creativity.

Held across Hotel Chantelle’s rooftop and lower-level lounges, the night featured high-energy DJ sets and live performances from Return Records’ roster alongside special guests curated by Groove Kitchen, the city’s genre-bending music collective. Attendees were treated to a genre-fluid mix of house, hip-hop, soul, and experimental beats until the early hours of New Year’s Day.

“This wasn’t just a party—it was a statement about where music in New York is heading,” said Jonathan Sherman, a representative from Return Records. “We’re building something fresh and collaborative, and this event brought that energy to life.”

The collaboration with Groove Kitchen signaled Return Records’ commitment to creating live experiences that bring artists and audiences closer together. With an emphasis on community and culture, the event served as a preview of more live showcases, pop-ups, and partnerships planned for 2025.

Photos and highlights from the night are available now on Return Records’ official Instagram and website.
