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 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.

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.
