Boiler Room Is Celebrating Five Years with Five Parties Around the World

Boiler Room

, your favorite web-streaming music channel, is turning five years-old this November. What began as a dinky webcam duct taped to a wall, connected to a free Ustream channel, has now become an entertainment giant with its own universe of

inside jokes

, memes, and

silly .GIF blogs

—as well as legendary sets from

Peanut Butter Wolf's

living room in LA,

Richie Hawtin's

Ibithan Villa, and countless far-flung festivals like

Dekmantel

in the Netherlands and

Movement

in Detroit.

Next month, they'll be celebrating their big birthday with five parties strewn across five major cities: Tokyo, Berlin, London, New York, and Los Angeles.

There's little-to-no information available beyond that, though their press materials list only one date—November 5th, 2015—so it's safe to assume that all five affairs will be happening simultaneously. CEO and founder Blaise Bellville is optimistic about the future:

"The Internet has completely revitalized underground culture," he told THUMP. "The democratization of access on a global scale has empowered musicians, freed information, started conversations, sparked incredible new levels of creativity, and put the jumper cables to an industry that was flatlining… Good music finally reaches the right people."
