    PURR spins a variety of diasporic dance music genres from nola bounce, bouyon, baile bass, afrobeats, amapiano; to gqom, dancehall, shatta, hip-hop/rap, jersey club, ukg, ghetto tech, jungle, juke, drum n bass and dubstep: activating the club’s potential as a site of release, embodiment and new dreams for being together. In the Black, Queer, and underground NYC nightlife circuit, PURR is a regular guest DJ at local haunts in Brooklyn and frequently headlines sold-out nights at top-tier venues such as SOB’s, Elsewhere, Xanadu, House of Yes & more. PURR’s finesse for nostalgic sounds alongside hyper-contemporary sonic cuts bends time to reveal the long-standing and ongoing history of Black club culture—preserving what's come before while seducing and challenging crowds with potential futures all on the dancefloor.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Drawing from over ten years of training as a classical pianist, BEYBLADE SHAWTY’s expansive music curation and selection practice transfigures the confines of genre, incorporating sounds from across the Black diaspora. Especially inspired by vanguard music descended from jazz, funk, and soul, BEYBLADE SHAWTY's evocative, captivating, high-energy sets invite listeners on sonic journeys across spacetimes. Playfully irreverent lyrics, percussive basslines, breakbeats, and four-on-the-floor rhythms enchant audiences, transporting them to new worlds of free movement and self-expression. At once precisely methodical and deeply intuitive, BEYBLADE SHAWTY’s mixing practice is informed by the diverse musical backdrop that accompanied her upbringing. Subverting category, the DJ utilizes techniques spanning hip-hop, club, techno, bass, global house, and beyond, igniting auditory frequencies that co-create affective trust with her audience. BEYBLADE SHAWTY hosts The Baddie Hour, a NYC party series featuring local talent at some of the city’s most beloved venues. After years of unsuccessful searching, the DJ and her friends dreamt of a safe, fun environment in which they could reliably listen (and dance!) to great music. Since she couldn’t find one, she organized one herself. The artist's monthly Half Moon radio show, BEYBLADE SHAWTY FM, streams the fourth Thursday of every month at 8 PM EST.
