Softcore

Softcore is a fresh club night aiming to bring more representation for female/FLINTA DJs in the NYC area. Expect genre bending curation and a warm, community driven dancefloor. ABOUT THE ARTISTS :: Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Chloe Battelle shapes a sound that threads the line between rave nostalgia and future-facing club experimentation. Her sets and productions fuse acid, breakbeat, and house with a techno framework, balancing raw, industrial force with an instinct for melodic tension and cinematic progression. With roots in the darker corners of New York’s underground, her work explores contrast—intensity and elegance, structure and chaos. Gabby Cocco is a Brooklyn-based DJ, curator and lover of all things 80s and 90s nostalgia. Inspired by early progressive house, Italo, new wave, and post-disco, she keeps things dynamic with selections that reflect a knack for uncovering hidden gems and an appreciation for the underground. Carlz, Duh! explores the realms of hypnotic techno, deep house, soulful grooves, and funky disco—all sprinkled with a touch of acid and sparkle. Influenced by the underground and her Bay Area roots, her sound creates fun, infectious, and magical moments on the dance floor. Rachel Opert is a NYC-based DJ, collector, and curator with a focus on the forgotten. Her selections are from crates around the globe - seductive, hypnotic, cosmic, and dusted. She focuses on outsider disco, italo, house and synth-pop, as well as dub, street soul, dub, jazz, new age, and new wave. Rachel has built a reputation for her boundless sound by playing at clubs and parties around the world, from Hong Kong, São Paulo, Bali, Montreal, Bangkok, and more.
