Now, the Irish duo have added being DJs, producers, promoters, labels owners and even live performers to their resume – but blogging remains a core part of their artistry.

Another Belfast native, Rory Hamilton has been friends with the boys of Bicep since childhood and is a co-pilot of the Feel My Bicep blog. After moving to Glasgow to study art, he established his own parties and grew his brand independently.

Mall Grab with support from X-Coast and Overland

◾️ MALL GRAB ◾️ Australian born DJ Jordon Alexander, aka Mall Grab, is considered to be relatively new to the scene, releasing his debut EP just four years ago. However, he has made huge strides since then and is not to be underestimated. As the founder of the record labels Steel City Dance Discs and Looking For Trouble, Jordon is constantly on the move, putting out new sounds and proving his place in the world of house music. He has been consistently selling out parties across Europe and is expected to do the same when he lands in New York.

◾️ X-COAST ◾️ Serbian-born, Brookyln-based musician Bojan Cizmic is known for referencing multiple genres in his productions. His smash debut, named Mango Bay EP after the EP’s most successful single, plays with nostalgic sounds of 90’s rave culture and has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on Youtube. Cizmic’s productions, along with his ability to effortlessly drift through different genres and musical styles, have earned the artist a ravenous reputation on the internet and beyond.

️◾️ Overland ◾️ Canadian dance music heroine, Jodie Overland comes to New York from her hometown in Vancouver where she works tirelessly as an event producer and DJ. Her sets are always surprising, but you can expect a unique blend of acid, industrial, and Detroit techno.

Sebastian Mullaert’s Circle of Live

By

Live collaborations, improvisation and solo explorations – all night long!

Circle Of Live is a brand new, live acts only, event series concept and a record label curated by Sebastian Mullaert, honoring the values of spontaneity and improvisation. Each live experience is unhindered from any formal structure, allowing both performers and audience to explore the boundaries of improvisation in all of its raw beauty. Those extended all night long freeform improvised jam sessions comprise of both collaborative and solo performances, with no set times decided in advance, allowing both audience and performers to stay curious and be fully present in the moment. Using Sebastian’s specially designed live setup which can accommodate any number of participants performing all at once, the artists are encouraged to collaborate as much or as little as they like, forging a truly organic experience for all involved.

“The main intention with Circle Of Live is to inspire people to improvise; let their life be an improvisation; a spontaneous expression of life. In one perspective this is a concept with clear visions and definitions but at the same time the core aim of the project is to allow both us, the artists, and the audience to drop concepts and habitual patterns in the creative process of dance and music.” – Sebastian Mullaert

You Had To Be There

By

 

Picture yourself at a house party where nobody had their phones out and everyone was dancing and living in the moment. That’s what this is. And when your friends ask you how was the party? You Had To Be There.

Music: Hip Hop, R&B, Top 40, Dancehall, Afrobeats, Reggaeton, Dance & more!

You Had To Be There is a phone-free party. In order to maintain this environment, all phones will be placed in pouches upon entering the venue. Guests maintain possession of their phones throughout the event and pouches do not block cell signal or texts; so your messages and likes will still be there when you exit. We want to eliminate all the distractions of the world in your device and make sure you focus solely on enjoying our party environment. Unplug. Forget capturing the moment for your social media friends that aren’t here and when they ask, just let them know You Had To Be There.
