A post dance-parade loft throwdown with flavors from around the world.
assembled by $mall ¢hange and eNoiz
with support from Joann Jimenez and REDness, Turntables On the Hudson, Afrokinetic, Mean Red Productions, ALMA, and DanceParade!!!!
A party about HEAVY dance music from around the globe, Afro-beat, Salsa, Samba, Baile Funk, House, Hip Hop, Reggae, Funk, Disco, Dubstep.
We're also celebrating the Dance Parade that is happening earlier that day down Broadway and ending up in Tompkins Sq. Park. Its a call to action for everyone that has put up with bullshit like the cabaret laws. Dancing is NOT a crime!
We've got a 2 room stellar loft space in Greenpoint, Shangri-La, for y'all to get down down down til the wee hours.
We've put together a stellar bill of serious DJ mofos who've been rocking shit in NYC for a minute. People who understand the concept of real music for real people. People who have built a community around their own events and have kept NYC funky, despite it looking more and more like a strip mall these days. Folks like:
Nickodemos and Nappy G (Turntables on the Hudson)
One of the premier summertime dance parties, running for over 10 years, both these cats have been killing shit on the decks and percussion forever. Check out releases on Wonderwheel records and their weekly at the Water Taxi Beach.
DJ True
Founder of the ALMA NYC (All for the Love of Music & Art) parties, DJ True laid it down for years on the radio dial before hitting the clubs. His Brazilian roots bring an authentic flare to his already creative mixing which can be found on his release for Francois K's Wave Music label. Check out the incomparable rhythm and groove Time Out magazine calls "utterly irresistible to anyone with a heartbeat."
Chris Annibell
the ringleader behind the always bumpin' Afrokinetic events and
longtime DJ/producer/percussionist, Chris always brings some bumpin'
world flavors to shake that ass to.
Greg Caz
Stupidly deep musicologist in many genres, Greg is known best for his
Brazilian selections, where he's hosted the classic Brazilian Beats
sunday sessions at Black Betty for over 7 years, and put together
comps for the esteemed UK label Mr. Bongo. One of the deepest in the
game, don't test.
Brian Coxx
Co-creator and resident DJ of the weekly Wednesday night party, Soulgasm NYC, Brian grew up on B-boy and dance culture recording the late night mix shows from DJs such as Red Alert, Chuck Chill Out and Tony Humphries, and has played alongside legends such as, Louie Vega, Jellybean Benitez,, Red Alert and Timmy Regisford for Club Shelter's 15 yr. Anniversary. 'The Wizard' always throws down serious deep house selections. Real new york shit.
$mall ¢hange
A man with too many records and too many projects, you can hear his weekly shows on WFMU and EVR as well as spinning and booking DJs at
APT and Rubulad, and he co-throws the Lose Your Shit Parties with JennLyon of Mean Red Productions. Expect selections from every continent.
2melo
A busy busy man on the scene, throwing loft events under the e'Noiz banner such as Potencia with Xao Productions, Derty Boombox with DJ Gravy, and brings a varied selections behind the decks, from classic funk and soul to booty music from Brazil to Baltimore.
