Argent State

Jake from State Pharm and Silver (Ag) first crossed paths in an unlikely place for two future DJs and medics — a boat in Bushwick, February 2020. Call it fate, call it a shared love of basslines and adrenaline, but what started as a casual conversation over a Bushwick waterway and city views turned into a deep friendship forged in rhythm, resilience, and rave.

The duo reconnected on the dancefloor in 2021, right as the city began to breathe again. That reunion wasn’t just serendipity — it was ignition. Since then, Jake and Silver have become boat buddies for life, both behind the decks and in the field.

By day (and often night), they’re trained medics who have worked EMS at festivals and clubs across New York, always ready to step up to the scene, steady hands in the chaos. By night (and sometimes morning), they’re selectors — DJs with a deep respect for the dancefloor and a mission to move it. They’ve played sets at legendary NYC spaces like TBA Brooklyn (RIP), Double Decker Disko (RIP), Signal, The House, and a rotating roster of underground venues where the lights are low, the subs are warm, and the community is everything.
