Another stellar line up comes to Apollo studios this Saturday from 11pm - 8am. This will be the perfect way to spend this beautiful summer night - weather is looking great so you can get in some outside dancing. Music will be inside and out back on the patio. Entry is free before midnight so come early and stay late! This event is a collaboration with Nomads - a local NY agency and artist collective with a clear and simple and clear focus to bring people together to experience beautiful music. As for the main event of the party we are ecstatic to announce none other than Closer Kyiv’s residents, Shakolin and Karine. They are coming together for a not to be missed B2B with support from Nomads NY resident DJ’s.
Karine hailing from Ukraine and the booker at Closer Kyiv - her ability to take you on an adventure with laidback and trippy vibes is unparalleled. A deep dive into the mircohouse world and more. Her devotion is to music and the continual search for those tracks that emulate her sound and presence behind the decks. Encompassing and permeating through many genres expect straight grooves ranging from minimal, microhouse, stripped back bass lines with unexpected sounds, to experimental breakbeat and house sounds.
Shakolin is a highly respected artist who emerged from the Ukraine dance music scene in 2013. Joining in the Closer crew the community fed his desire to grow and evolve in all aspects of music and life. Founder of the Closer record store he gets to curate vinyl to share with fellow music lovers - fans and DJs alike. Playing all over the globe he graces his unique presence at Apollo studios for this special B2B set with Karine.
Camilla has been exploring and collecting music across different countries for a long time - an avid and unstoppable digger, Camilla never fails to surprise when it comes to her selections. Oscillating between classic old-school records and the newest sounds, her sets tend to be spacey and acid-heavy, leaning into fast, bass-driven, uplifting beats when the time is right. In 2021, Camilla launched Encrypted, an occasional party series providing intimate experiences by combining music and sound with provocative visual art.
Nomad residents - an eclectic bunch of local NY based DJs will lay the foundation and support for the night, bringing just the right vibe to get you locked on the dance floor. They cast a wide net through genres, allowing you to travel through space and time via epic tracks and soundscapes.
Last, but certainly not least Chuwee and Jamie Jar will be holding down the outdoor experience at the party. Chuwee will spin anything from downtempo, rare grooves to 90s house he can command the dance floor. A native Californian, Chuwee loved music from an early age. He began to grow his US audience as a teenager discovering the underground scene as he raved his way from coast to coast. Jamie Jar is a NY based DJ who weaves a web - curating a multiverse of sounds for his audience. He is also a photographer and draws inspiration from each of his passions to inform and expand the other. A unique musical perspective from someone whose eye captures snapshots of moments and bends an ear to a sleek musical selection. Bring yourself to groove along with these two for a perfect summer evening. See you on the dance floor.mer evening. See you on the dance floor.
