We’re leaning into 2025 with a higher call: more inclusivity and diversity and movement. A new global dance night exploring the past, present and future of dance music across a broadening spectrum of genres — from disco to dembow, afrobeats to amapiano — an expanding palette of sounds, beats, and languages. This is the launch party.
PRINCE OF QUEENS, Felipe Quiroz, is a Colombian-born, NYC-raised producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist blending the city’s trans-Caribbean energy into a fresh sonic identity. His sound fuses deep house and techno with tropical disco, cumbia, and merengue — a unique take on underground dance music through the lens of a Colombian immigrant. With his latest EP Merida on Brooklyn’s Razor-N-Tape, POQ invites you to a dance floor where vintage tropical vibes meet modular synths. Prince of Queens has held residencies at Brooklyn’s Black Flamingo, Jupiter Disco, with his “Tropical Past and Future” party. He’s also played iconic venues and clubs including Central Park SummerStage, Public Records, Good Room and many more.
DEEJAY THEORY (ORIGINAL TING MUSIC, MA), a New England native by way of San Francisco, has been swimming in international musical waters for most of his adult life. While out West, he co-founded and hosted TORMENTA TROPICAL, a decade-long dance party in SF’s Mission district. His in-demand DJ sets diffuse a multiplicity of genres with careful craftsmanship, exquisitely blended with near-zero turbulence and maximal groove.
