There is a particular kind of Thursday night in New York when the week hasn't quite let go and nobody wants to commit to a Friday-sized night out. Parra for Cuva's show on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 99 Scott in Brooklyn fits it neatly: music at 8 p.m., a 2,500-capacity room, and a set drawn from a record that has had six months to settle in. Tickets are through DICE.

Parra for Cuva is the German producer Nico Demuth, and the reason he is back on the road is *Nacar*, his sixth studio album, which came out May 15, 2026, according to Electronic Groove. It arrived in pieces before it arrived whole: "Selva Selva" was the lead single, followed by "Towards Ember," "Juri" and the title track. He marked the release with an event in Berlin the following day.

"Juri" also got a live video filmed at the Nauyaca Waterfall in Costa Rica, as Joy of Violent Movement reported. It is a telling choice of backdrop for a song he chose to show off: not a club, not a festival stage, but a waterfall.

Brooklyn is the last stop on the North American swing in our listings. The run opened in San Francisco on Oct. 30, then went to Los Angeles on Oct. 31, Denver on Nov. 5, Chicago on Nov. 6, Washington on Nov. 7 and Miami on Nov. 8, before the four-night gap that leads here.

Before any of that, the *Nacar* tour spent September and October in Europe. The dates list took in Athens, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Cologne, Paris, Zurich, Munich, Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, London and Berlin, where he played Huxley's Neue Welt on Oct. 21, according to Berlin.de. By the time he reaches New York, these songs will have had roughly two months of nightly road testing on two continents.

Our records have no earlier New York show for Parra for Cuva, which makes this the first time he has turned up on our local calendar. For plenty of people in the room, that means a first look at the live version of a producer they know from headphones.

Listings file the night under EDM. That is accurate as far as genre tags go, but the more useful guide is the album itself: if *Nacar* has been on in the background of your commute since May, you already know what you are walking into, and you know whether the title track or "Juri" is the one you are waiting for.

The practical bits are simple. It is a Thursday, the start time is 8 p.m. and no door time is listed, so plan to arrive a little early and get your bearings in a room that holds 2,500. The early start is a gift on a school night: you can catch the whole set and still be functional at work on Friday.

Go for "Juri." Stay for whatever two months on the road have done to it. Then take the long way to the train and let it play out in your head.
