From a basement to a residency.
The crew started in 2014 as a $200/night warehouse-party DJ duo in Crown Heights. We played five basement parties a month for three years before any actual venue would book us — but the basement crowd became the basement loyalty, and by 2017 we had a Friday-night residency at Output that ran for fourteen weeks.
We are still that two-person crew. We've added a touring sound rig, a touring lighting rig, and a third crew member who handles install + tech, but the people in the booth on Friday night are the people who started the basement parties.
We're picky about the gigs we take. We say no to about 60% of inquiries — usually because the date is held, sometimes because the venue or the fit isn't right. The result is that we end up with a calendar of gigs we actually want to play.
