The Nursery w/Soul Clap, Dj Spinna & Rissa Garcia Sunday 8.6

In May, Public Records will open the doors to its latest venture, an outdoor event space located directly adjacent to our current Garden space, simply named The Nursery. For our first season open, our music programming team has curated an eclectic series of Sunday parties that spans genres and perfectly encapsulates all that we are and where we aim to go. From May 28th to October 8th, every single Sunday we will present these diverse and exciting lineups in the Nursery. The Boston-bred duo Soul Clap have been sharing their profound love of house and its many shapes and styles for over 20 years. Whether they’re behind the decks at any of the world’s most influential clubs,running their eponymous record label, doing workshops, collaborating with legends speaking on panels or crate digging to unearth deep cuts and iconic gems, these two are pushing boundaries, opening minds and shifting energies every day. They’ll take over the Nursery with a few friends for seven hours of pure elation.

Limited tickets will be sold at the door. Doors at 3PM

5 Magazine Mix: Rise 001 Rissa Garcia

5 Mag launches a new mix series today, with a set from our friend Rissa Garcia.

RISE is a weekly mix series, posted every Monday and featuring DJs from all genres that we cover. Not too long ago, 5 Mag used to do another weekly mix series debuting every Monday, and it seemed like it set things off in a good way – a good start to the work week and something to get you through. Words like “uplifting” and “motivating” mean different things to different people, but we hope the music brings something positive to you.

Rissa Garcia was one of those original 5 Mag Monday DJs, and is someone whose career and love of music has continued to shine. Based in NYC, Rissa is the Dancing Room Only resident DJ, a producer and founder of NightChild Records. She’s shared the decks with legends Danny Tenaglia, Danny Krivit, Todd Terry, Tony Humphries, Chez Damier and Ultra Nate; she’ll be playing with several more at the “LGNDS” event this December 17 2022 with Boris, Kenny Dope, Mark Knight and Oscar G.

Live Recording: Rissa Garcia at Good Room 8-5-22

We all know that sinking feeling, when your recorder dies halfway through an all night set. But lucky for us, Rissa Garcia managed to save the first three and a half hours when she played from start to finish in the Bad Room on August 5, 2022. Turn your speakers up and prepare for a dance through the history NY house with the Dancing Room Only founder.

Dancing Room Only welcomes Tony Humphries to House of X alongside resident Rissa Garcia

Since its inception in 2015, the resident DJ and founder, Rissa Garcia, has specifically curated Dancing Room Only to deliver nights that maximize dancefloor damage in the spirit of the NY dance-underground heyday. On Saturday May 14th, we are pleased to welcome Tony Humphries to House of X.

Tony Humphries

Tony Humphries has been DJing nearly 35 years, an incredible achievement that in any other industry would have been rewarded with a carriage clock or service medal. His big break came through a chance meeting with Mastermixer Shep Pettibone at the offices of Prelude Records. Tony handed the maestro a tape and the rest is history. Humphries’ star rose as his KISS FM show (and later HOT 97) lasted for decades.

MOTR SUMMER II - a fundraiser & party to support the Music on the RISE Foundation feat. Ultra Violet, Rissa Garcia, Aspirin & Más Corazón b2b Blvck Truffle

The Music on the RISE Foundation (or “MOTR” ) is an organization that is dedicated to providing robust musical education, cultural music heritage and professional music industry guidance to black and latino youth in underserved communities severely lacking in music education funding in the NYC metropolitan area.

This past spring we wrapped up our virtual pilot program with the DOE school Walkabout Bronx High School, where our program reached 51 students as both a club and end of the year initiative. We are currently gearing up for our fall programs which will be our first in person initiatives post pandemic.

Based out of Key+Needle Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn - MOTR’s fundraisers aim to create community around the foundation’s ethos in order to amplify and raise awareness on the importance of saving the arts in NYC’s underserved public schools.
