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.

Jovonn exploded onto the house scene in 1991 with his second release, “Turn and Runaway” on Warner Bros. Records, (which reached number 10 on the Billboard chart and catapulted Jovonn onto the global scene).

Saturday 1.8.22 Dancing Room Only with Danny Krivit & Rissa Garcia

A legend of the dance and disco scene since the heyday of New York club culture, Danny Krivit is no doubt one of dance music’s living legends. Growing up in Greenwich Village, New York City, in the 60s, Danny was surrounded by music. His father was the manager of legendary jazz trumpeter Chet Baker before he went on to open up “The Ninth Circle”, a Village hot spot that allowed Danny the opportunity to DJ at an early age. Learning the ropes and taking notes from early legends like David Mancuso and Larry Levan, Danny soon made a name for himself throughout the dance floors of New York City. He is one-third of the legendary Body & Soul NYC crew alongside Francois K and Joe Claussell and he just recently celebrated the 19th anniversary of 718 Sessions, his monthly residency party in New York. We are elated to host this dance music icon.

Danny will be joined by Dancing Room Only resident DJ, Rissa Garcia.

Friday July 16th: Danny Krivit & Rissa Garcia at 3 Dollar Bill

"Danny Krivit, really should need no introduction to anyone with even a whisker of an interest in this incredible thing we call the world of 'dance' music. Growing up in Greenwich Village, New York City, in the 1960s, his mother was an accomplished jazz singer and his father was the manager of legendary jazz trumpeter Chet Baker before going on to open up “The Ninth Circle”, a Village hot spot. Starting DJing at age 14 and learning from all the greats, including James Brown, David Mancuso and Larry Levan he became synonymous with his funk, soul, and disco edits (under the Mr. K name). His list of residencies and associations read like the dictionary of music he is. Responsible for the immensely popular 718 Sessions and one-third of the Body & Soul collective, we caught up with Mr K over our increasingly dodgy skype connection ahead of his sidexside appearance this weekend with Horse Meat Disco for an insight into the mind of one of house music’s living legends." -Ransom Note

Rissa Garcia Untitled Music Q&A and Mix

rissagarcia_banner.jpg

What I admire about Rissa Garcia is that she is just doing what she loves week in week out. You never hear any bullshit from her, she is consistently working hard at her passions, be that DJ’ing or her well respected label Nightchild Records. For someone at the heart of the NYC club scene and one of the most connected people I know I actually know zero about the person behind it all. In an era of obsessive gender equality she is the real poster child for the scene - time-served, hard-working, low-profile and passionate about quality over hype.

 What I admire about Rissa Garcia is that she is just doing what she loves week in week out. You never hear any bullshit from her, she is consistently working hard at her passions, be that DJ’ing or her well respected label Nightchild Records.

In an era of obsessive gender equality she is the real poster child for the scene - time-served, hard-working, low-profile and passionate about quality over hype.Thanks for taking the time out to speak Rissa - you’re one of the first names I roll off when people ask about good DJ’s in the scene - tell us a little about what drives you?

 

Music, most importantly. People that doubted me, people that hope I fail at every turn. And honestly,I really can’t fathom a life without doing this so I’ll do whatever it takes to keep on doing it. A few years ago, I decided I didn’t want to live the robot lifestyle of working 9-5 day in and day out while daydreaming of doing what I really wanted to do and what I felt so deeply to my core I really should be doing.

 

From the outside world you’re very low profile but very successful - what’s the secret of your success?
