Who
We Are
A Brooklyn, NY DJ collective and creative house
Four DJs. One Cru*. We met through shared residencies and stuck together out of respect for each other's craft and the principles we share.
Every event we throw is made from records we love.
We throw curated, intentional events, day and night, across Bed-Stuy, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and beyond, built around soul, house, dance, and disco and boogie. Between the four of us, we DJ, MC, host and program events, and bring the design, photo, video, visual art and brand strategy to match. Book one of us, a few of us, or the whole Cru*.
Come as you are, whatever your age, orientation, identity or politics. Let go, meet free-spirited people feeding their soul through music, and leave lighter than you came.
Between us we've played Boiler Room, Soul in the Horn, Everyday People, Soho House and the Saint James Joy Block Party, which draws about 2–3K people each time. Its YouTube sets have pulled in 670K+ views in just over three months, and it's been covered by The New York Times, NPR and New York Magazine.
