Just wanted to take a minute and give shout to my long time friend, one of my personal fave DJs and mix engineer @ruez_nyc Happy Birthday my funk soul brutha from anutha mutha 😆🥳🎂 from kids on the dance floor to working with some of our heroes its been a wonderful ride and looking forward to reaching many more milestones 🙏🙌 grateful and thank you!
Happy New Music Friday ! My new EP is officially out today @nightchildnyc 😁 Buy/Stream on your fave DSP
New York City–based DJ and producer Rissa Garcia returns with a powerful new four-track house music EP that captures the raw spirit of classic dance floors while pushing forward with a sleek, modern edge. Built on driving basslines, hypnotic rhythmic percussion, and emotionally charged grooves, the digital-only release showcases Garcia’s signature sound: timeless, soulful, and relentlessly danceable.
Drawing from the foundational pulse of ‘90s house and the refined energy of today’s underground, the EP channels nostalgia without feeling retro. Each track is crafted for peak-time movement — warm chord stabs, rolling low-end pressure, crisp percussion, and subtle vocal textures create an atmosphere that feels both familiar and fresh.
“This EP is about honoring where house music comes from while expressing where I am right now as an artist,” says Garcia. “It’s for the dancers who want that emotional connection and that driving energy at the same time.”
Known for her deep understanding of dance floor dynamics, Garcia translates her experience behind the decks into productions that feel intentional and immersive. The four original tracks move seamlessly between uplifting momentum and late-night groove, designed for club systems but equally powerful in headphones.
The EP will be released digitally on Garcia’s own imprint, further solidifying her commitment to creative independence and community-driven house music culture.
With this release, Rissa Garcia continues to carve her lane in the global underground — bridging eras, uniting dancers, and proving that authentic house music never goes out of style.

Take it Back Tuesday @dancingroomonlynyc w/ special guest @karizma_kaytronik_official at House of X 4.9.2022 ….one of my fave nights we did there 😁

#tbt @h0l0.nyc getting the vibe going for Juan Atkins
I have always been one of the first and last people on the dance floor….I never had an issue because that is what music does to me it makes me want to move and I understand not everyone is comfortable letting loose on the dance floor and as a DJ its one of the hardest parts of the job getting those who aren’t in their comfort zone on the floor to finally open up and let go
No better feeling in the world ..the cathartic experience of loosing yourself on the dance floor without a care in the world 🪩💃🕺it can change your soul
Amazing time x 3 …. a b2b set with @ultranatemusic @wintermusicconference in front of house music royalty was not in my bingo card for 2026 😳 all were in the house to celebrate Ultra’s Bday like the queen she is (and seems to be aging backwards 😆) 🥳🎂 gonna say it again THANK YOU for introducing me to Miami ❤️🙏 had to cut my trip a lil short n jet back to NY for a set at the lovely new @madradionyc on Sat and wow thank you to all who turned up and turned out for that including the FAM 🥰…and then topped it off on Sunday in my fave lil room the Bad Room @goodroombk for @christina_visca’s Come Together 🥰 and then on Monday=💀😂🤣
Thank you to all involved for having me 🙏😁
