Good Talk with DJ Sprinkles

DJ Sprinkles is something of a true renegade in modern club culture. She tackles themes that are usually off limits in electronic music, eschewing conventional notions of ‘having the night of your life’ and instead confronting issues of gender, sexuality, race and class, often in lipstick and four-inch heels.

Nineteen albums and multifarious monikers into her 20-year career, she’s constructed a political discourse that’s hard to find anywhere else in dance music today. We’re bringing her rare spirit back to Good Room on September 17 at the French Kiss presents party. We caught up with the Comatonse label head ahead of her set, sharing her love and ideas on music.

Good Room Podcast 064 – SPRKLBB

Vinyl-only DJ and visual artist SPRKLBB aka Andy Egelhoff has been an avid collector of dance records of a decade. After photographing underground nightlife in cities around the world, he moved back to NYC in 2014 and began throwing his own parties as SPRKLBB – a zany caricature of himself meant to challenge a perceived stoicism in underground dance music culture. He was quickly discovered by DJs Nita and Will Automagic of The Carry Nation, and spent the early half of 2016 as the resident DJ and programmer for New York’s Ostbahnhof parties. He currently manages the nightlife programming for The Gateway, a new venue in Bushwick, where he throws an alternative/queer techno monthly called Collapse Factory.

He’s put together an hour of bonkers dance music for the 64th Good Room Podcast ahead of his set in the Bad Room on September 10, joining The Carry Nation boys once again. Tickets $10 advanced here –bit.ly/2ccMLrf Continue reading →

Never afraid to fight for what she wants, for Heidi it’s not about right place, right time. She has won through sheer determination and sharing the magic with those she loves at every step.

Good Room Podcast 063 – Guy Car

Moving to New York in 2012 opened up a new world for Guy Car. Although he’d dabbled with DJing in his native France, the NYC house and techno scene opened up a new perspective on music. “The Dancefloor/DJ dialogue was on another level that to me felt healing and growing and that’s when it really stroke me as this incredibly precious and powerful thing. From there it’s really been me processing all of this and trying to understand what had happened those nights, but also the 30 plus years or so of music’s history that led to this moment and that I felt I needed to know more about,” he said.

Good Room Podcast 062 – The Carry Nation

Carry Nation was a woman who wanted to stop everyone partying and used to attack bars with a hatchet. The Carry Nation, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. Two long-time staples in the NYC gay underground house scene, DJs Nita and Will Automagic came together in 2012 to throw parties that keep you carrying till dawn.

They make some beats too. Over the years they’ve collaborated with the likes of Stereogamous, Shaun J Wright and Viva Ruiz, remixed or been remixed by the likes of Gavin Russom (The Crystal Ark), Serverino & Luke Howard (Horse Meat Disco) and Fatherhood and have released records on Batty Bass, Tribal and Get Up Recordings.
