This installment of Live & Direct features a portion of a set from Donis (@donis-bk), played at their residency on December 13, 2024, opening the night which also featured special guest Kai Alcé.
Anyone who’s been to one of Donis’s residency nights can tell you that the expressive, energetic style of house dancing emblematic of New York’s house music heyday is not yet a lost art, even if dance battles and baby powder are no longer a common sight on today’s dancefloors. A Dominican DJ and producer born and raised in Brooklyn, Donis equally embraces tradition and innovation in their approach to house, techno, and beyond.
“I think there is a huge lack of actual dance culture specifically within the younger generation of club-goers. A big goal of mine with the residency is to cultivate space for that. I see parties as conversations between DJ and dancer, one-sided conversations are never fun.” – Donis, from an email interview in September 2023
This coming Friday, January 17, Donis returns to the club alongside Baltimore’s Karizma.

Long before the pandemic hit we hatched plans for the return of the always awesome Zenker Brothers to our booth and the plan was to pair them up with low frequency pro and Nowadays resident, DJ Voices.
Despite our closure in March due to COVID-19, that party still went ahead virtually and it's given us our next installment of Live and Direct. For our tenth episode DJ Voices has served up a slamming session surveying the full sub-by spectrum - from mutant drum and bass dynamite and hurtling, high-octane jungle to propulsive, tech-step treats and a sick assortment of psycho-sonorous delights.
Big thanks to DJ Voices for giving us her blessing with this one. Bass bins, look out.
