While all of us are living the quarantine life, Good Room has asked friends and residents to share mixes for our Solitude Series so you can dance on your own. The ninth mix comes from Rissa Garcia. NYC-based Rissa Garcia, is the Dancing Room Only resident DJ and founder of NightChild Records. An avid record collector, Rissa brings so much energy and joy to the dancefloor through her DJ sets. Here's what she had to say about her mix;
"Good Room has always been so warm and welcoming to the underground dance community and I’m happy to be able to contribute in any way I can to help them in such an uncertain and tumultuous time for any small business. We have no idea when we will be able to dance together again so I made this mix as a reminder to us all that no matter what we face in life we always have music to help get us through. And as long as we music we are never truly alone. “Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once"."
Good Room is currently closed due the COVID-19 pandemic. If you would like to donate to the club to help cover staff and fixed costs you can donate on Venmo @goodroombk or PayPal - paypal.me/goodroombk.

DJ Times Review: Rissa Garcia-Wanna Feel Loved EP
“A sweet three pack EP here from Garcia, a New York house mainstay. I Wanna Feel kicks a hip-swaying, tribal tinged groove -perfect for a dark dancefloor. “Tryna Prove” rides a tough rhythm until a combo of sweet key stabs and scat singing delivers a catchy melody. “Outta Love” thumps and builds with a purpose - a real call to the dancefloor - then drops intoxicating vocal samples for hand-raising effect. If you want a taste of modern deep house sounds, here’s the real thing."
