Tighten Up Brooklyn

Run Come Celebrate at Tighten UP!!

About Me

Miss Gemini and Upsetter FC met in NYC about 9 years ago at either E & O or some other ska/reggae happening. A few years later, Miss Gemini started guest djing Andy's nights, Heavy Manners Mondays and Boss Sounds at The Raven. And in July 2005, the dj pair decided to get their own night going. Together, they created their monthly night, Tighten UP Brooklyn at Magnetic Fields.
