Future Beats & Electronic Explorations

Hope all is well with you in the new year!

I was asked to curate a night at this amazing yearly festival at South Street Seaport, on Feb. 4th. For my first ever self-produced event in NYC, I’ve put together a bill of innovative musicians and producers who focus on blurring the lines between performance, live set and DJ sets.  As a collective, these artists draw inspiration from familiar American musical influences like Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, & Disco, as well as from  Juke/Footwork from Chicago, Jersey Club, G’com from Durban, South Africa, Haitian Music, Indian Music and far beyond!

Val-Inc  BKGD Audio, FXWRK, Selecta K7 & Tarana
