Body Music (formerly No Selector) is a weekly event held at Bembe , one of Brooklyn’s most unique venues, on the corner of South 6th Street and Berry in Williamsburg. No Selector has been going strong at Bembe since its inception in November of 2005, courtesy of co-founders Guy Licata , Abe Seiferth, Evan Baggs , and Jesse Mann .
Jesse currently holds down duties as the night's resident DJ, creative director, and musical curator.
The idea of Body Music is to bring together the live element with that of the DJ in unique ways. Talented local musicians play a variety ranging from funk and soul to afro beat, dub, and calypso. The further addition of some of NYC’s best DJs playing everything from Latin and jazz to disco and house, makes for a truly eclectic night of music. As live percussion and bass play alongside DJ-led tracks often in tandem, something new and exciting is created every Sunday night. Past guests have included The Dub Trio, along with members of Fischerspooner, LCD Soundsystem, Escort , and The Pimps of Joytime , amongst countless others.
