The latest @misc.radio on @thelotradio is up! Mercury retrograded right into the first 7 minutes. No sound! Just jump past that to the tunes. I got my hands on an exclusive track featuring RZA and Jeffrey Osbourne (IYKYK) and the sound kicks in at that point š.
Lots of new tunes, older jams, and brought some records with me! Links to watch or listen in my bio!
Still bumping that @erykahbadu @alanthechemist and @officialmeshell!
@amp_fiddler šļø "This is How" and @setfiretoloraine "The Book of Self Doubt". I'm enjoying her latest!
This @swarvy @kingsleyibeneche track has me floating. "Please Say More" with the latest from @_h31r "in-sync". Cop that new h31r album!
Digging in Amsterdam, I came across this @djinjis_corner record featuring the queen Vinia Mojica. Followed up with the latest @lyricjones and @ianwallaceproductions featuring @ronaray_ "Way Too Long"
Right after that I played a joint off the new @therealjtdonaldson! A massive 2 LP set of 10 dope tracks that appears to be sold out. Only 500
Sold! This was "no.7"
Surprise cameo by @djspinna before his amazing set on the NYC Marathon route with The Lot @karlalamusic and @on! Popped in to confirm that I indeed played the latest @2000black before this Mach-Jamm "Devotion (NYC Mix)". Tracklist will be in my stories soon! Support the artists with a listen and a buy.

this saturday iām so hype to announce this guest for my show Bridge on the 9th Dimension at @fmfm.rodeo ā the incomparable @djtaranyc !!! ššš
before I share Taraās bio, I want to note that I first discovered her incredible musical prowess on the decks via her residency on The Lot Radio years ago. shortly after, I kept hearing her name come up whenever people talked about nightlife, itās infrastructure, & who you can depend on to create the spaces to come together to find solutions & voice issues. but most of all, people agree that she has been an endless wealth of knowledge to so many, intergenerationally. Iām so honored to host her & to have been apart of these spaces & forums sheās hosted to move this shit forward!
catch us at 1pm-3pm (usually 12:30pm but Nature School is happening & you should come hang!) where we get to nerd out & I can ask Tara all the things on her heart & mind while also hearing her bomb selections! āšæš©µ
More about @djtaranyc :
Tara aims to amplify artists, explore the infinite facets of Black music, and uplift the crowds who engage with her sets on dance floors and airwaves. She spins a collage of soulful sounds that honor the past, look to the future, and celebrate the now. A New York Native, Tara believes in nightlife as an essential cultural and community-building tool, advocating for policies and resources to support arts and culture in NYC. She also hosts āmisc.ā on The Lot Radio in Brooklyn, a laid-back, eclectic ride on Sunday mornings.

The latest @misc.radio on @thelotradio is up!
I was in my r&b bag yesterday to start but we finished up nice and energized with some upbeat tunes.
I was still waking up so I dug into some older tunes. @shafiqhusayn feat Karen Be āShow Me How You Feel:ā. with @inglewoodsir āFallingā
New @donwill feat @robcavejr and @iamjoelleon āNosey Peopleā. I love the sample flip! Iām loving the latest @nappy_nina and @swarvy project! This Mail Clerkā featuring @shabazzpalaces
I love this funk flip of āIs it All Over My Faceā by @temumusic and this @klash2def remix of @rochelle_jordan āGet it Offā. KLSH is a longtime collaborator/producer of Rochelle so itās dope to see how they can reimagine tunes into something fresh. These remix releases are really dope. I need Disc 2 NEOW!
Phillyās own @lildave215 with another jam"Music Takes Me"! with a @brekkyt remix of @kylakilzer & @maxnoir.uk āBreak Throughā. Shouts to @kingbritt for making the connection! I wasn't even thinking about the Philly link for the mix but I love it! Sound Travels!
New @ibibiosoundmachine ! Their new album just dropped and Iām digging a few joints. Hereās āConcept of Loveā with another favorite release: @cakesdakilla and @thebussycatdoll āEnd of the Showā Love and Lust! They go together! šš«¦š
Link to watch the show in my bio. Audio link soon come. Tracklist breakdown with links to buy the music coming later this week!

Iām thrilled to announce Session 2 of my Critical Nightlife Studies discussion group will feature a super special guest co-host, @djtaranyc! After an ~amazing~ first session this week, I am even more excited to keep the dialogue going, with one of my favorite people in the NYC scene joining me to guide our conversation deeper.
Taraās work as a DJ, community organizer, urban planner, and truth-speaker in the New York City nightlife constantly inspires me to not only dig deeper into the dynamics I see around me, but also to galvanize my often found frustration into real action that might actually improve the conditions of not only our music scene but also the city we love, for all. When I was putting together the session outlines for this group, I knew I had to get her involved when it came time to talk about THIS CITY, so Iām honored she agreed to lead this one with me! Everyone who comes is in for a real treat.
For everyone who has already registered or attended our first session, THANK YOU! and youāll get an email with the readings this weekend.
If you havenāt signed up, you can join us any time! Check the link in bio for single session tickets or send me a message for sliding scale or any other arrangements. Everyone is welcome!! See you all on the 20th! šŖ©šš¤āØā¼ļø

I had a short lived party many years ago. Simple premise: dope DJs, play whatever you want. I got 2 nights down.
The third was cancelled when there was an abrupt change in ownership at the venue and a booker was brought on who cancelled the party. The booker also convinced a restaurant nearby where I played to let him book their DJs and he cancelled my weekly gig there too. Not too long after, another DJ invited me to guest DJ at the venue. The booker told them I was too local and told them to take me off the bill.
Years later, when this booker decided they wanted to address lack of diversity in nightlife (2020 was a time!), they asked me to join their efforts. When I pointed out they were part of the problem by what they did to me and to other DJs, I did get an apology. This person basically said their ego was so inflated at the time, which dictated their actions. I can't say the apology made me feel better but outlining completely how fucked up their behavior was did help because I knew I wasn't tripping and it was so deliberate I didn't understand why they seemed to have it out for me so bad. I hadn't even met them.
This caused a lot of damage to me personally. I still grapple with feelings around not being known enough to book gigs/throw events and how that factors into where I play and how often. Entering this month with nothing on the calendar resurfaced those feelings a little bit.
I wasn't planning to start this post like this but something something silent about your pain. I didn't attempt another party for a loooooong time after this and I generally avoid going to this place because of how I was treated. I pop out for homies playing there, but decline invites extended to me by DJ homies to play there.
When I first started my show on The Lot, it didn't have a name. Then I remembered this party. Shouts to @deephunk for the design and for keeping the raw files so I could repurpose this into something new, something better. There's no specific genre or era or locale I focus on. Just good ass music (to me!) and making sure you all know what I played so you can support the artists.
Having a show on The Lot gives me a consistent opportunity to do what I

We Out Here, don't ever change!
It was great to return and just be wrapped up in days of good music, people, and nature!
It was great to check out live performances, DJ sets, browse for records, engage in some calming activities in the Wellness Tent.
It was great to leave a space feeling renewed and fulfilled.
It was great to be in the company of people who care deeply about their art and to witness their performances was a blessing.
Saturday night was pretty cold, but everyone understood the assignment: shake ass, stay warm. @jkriv was doing the damn thing in the roller rink! I closed out the night and I thank everyone who danced and showed such an outpouring of love for the set! I wish we could have played to sunrise!
Thank you @gillespeterson and @noahballnoahballnoahball for making space for me on this beautifully stacked lineup of some of the most talented people in the universe.
For those curious about the festival: go. Buy your ticket (it will sell out!) and figure it out over the year.
Note: slide 5 is the amazing @djmarciacarr_official
The WOH afters for me was a day in London with some record digs and The Music is Black exhibit at @vam_east. I hadnāt spent that much time on one exhibit since the Slavery & Freedom part of the Blacksonian. The way they integrated sound and how the music moves with you throughout the exhibit was perfection.
Thank you @juniuspaulmusic for the support and the adventure this weekend. Last year you were headlining this festival with hotel accommodations, and this year you thugged it out in the tents with your girl š§”. It was so beautiful to see folks still holding the experience of Rotary Connection 222 a year later and telling you personal stories of how that performance changed their lives. That is the beauty of music and creating space for music to be shared and experienced. So many of us are making a way in a world not meant for us to be seen but @weoutherefest shines a light.
26 Aug 2026
Heading to @weoutherefest! 4 days of beautiful music and people!
I cannot wait to absorb all the sounds this weekend!
I've been dreaming of returning since 2023, when I played Lemon Lounge, the Roller Rink, and did a pinch hitter duty moderating a @wax_poetics talk in NYC Nightlife with @djamir70 and @loveinjection.nyc!
I'll be closing out the Roller Rink Saturday. 2am-4am! Last slide is where I plan to take you during the set š§”.

š¦āļø Tomorrow we are veryyyy excited to welcome NYCās @djtaranyc to the BH at @kater.berlin for the first time!
Tara is someone whose relationship with nightlife goes far beyond the booth, and we really appreciate the intention, care and knowledge she brings both to her selections and the communities around them. Really looking forward to finally sharing a dancefloor together and hearing where she takes us tomorrow night! š
More about Tara below:
Taraās intention is to amplify artists and uplift the crowds that engage with her sets on dance floors throughout NYC. Tara spins a collage of soulful sounds that acknowledge the past while looking to the future and celebrating the now. Tara produces mixes and hosts misc. on @thelotradio in Brooklyn and @upthebeats on Soho Radio in London, blending music that is both new and old, familiar and unknown, across eras, genres, and continents.
Tara is also an Urban Planner and as a lover of nightlife, has shaped her Urban Planning work to where she is able to advocate for nightlife as a vital cultural and community building tool for cities. She has worked with Vibe Lab, an international organization dedicated to nightlife, and contributed to their Global Nightlife Recovery Plan. As a member of Rare Form in New York City, she helped originate Donuts are Forever, an annual fundraiser/tribute to hip hop producer J. Dilla, as well as Makossa Brooklyn Cookout, a beloved Brooklyn summer party.
Having performed at diverse and unconventional venues around New York City and abroad, Tara is always eager to find new and exciting crowds to spin for. Early on in her career, Tara realized being a DJ is more than just playing a mix of records; it is a matter of building trust between herself and the crowd and sharing the knowledge and love the she has for the music and the feelings it projects onto the listeners. The crowd trusts Tara to become part of another great night in their lives, and she returns that favor by giving them a taste of the familiar as well as something new that may be something they have never realized was needed in their musical memory.

Last half of June was a lot. Work, yapping, trying to be comfortable with the yapping, dancing, eating, trying to be at 5 places at one time.
I'm excited to get back to myself with these upcoming sets and organizing all that I've learned in the past few months on @thisusedtobeaclub
Friday - at Good Room with @_dej.y while @soulclapofficial holds down the main space
Saturday - sipping Summer's water and other goodness at @wineformebk at public records with @ill.lala and @ayannaheaven upstairs with all vinyl set! (if you're buying tickets, choose upstairs for all access. GA/nursery only gets you outdoors not upstairs)
Sunday - misc. on @thelotradio . 10am-12pm
5pm - @summerstage with Bilal and GENA at Von King Park
I am beyond thrilled and so excited as I've been a fan of @bilalmusic , @pronouncedliv.e, and @karriemriggins1 for so long.
Thursday 7.16, I'll be at @nightschoolsocial talking about why your ass is in the club even if you don't think it's the club, and why you should be there.
7.24-26 I'll be upstate camping and playing tunes for a fundraiser for @worldsendschool . This lineup is incredible! There's still some tickets left.
All info in my bio.
