Just like the ‘80s soundtrack bangers she’s known to slip into many a peaktime set, Lauren Murada’s origin story is a classic coming-of-age movie straight off the big screen—but make it NYC, and definitely make it disco. In search of the perfect dance floor to call home, she booked a one way ticket from Sydney to the City That Never Sleeps in 2014, and never looked back… One step into the world of her infamous party series Love Games and it’s clear that she’s made her dreams come true: It’s a love letter to disco made manifest, forged in part from her nine-year tenure as Production Manager at Good Room, and carefully honed through countless nights spent on Brooklyn dance floors and behind the decks. Championing beloved pioneers from the Golden Era of disco with reverence, the party equally sets the stage for the joyfully abundant expressions of the next gen. Lauren and fellow party resident Finn Jones host legendary DJs and devotees alike as they spin across the spectrum of timeless classics, leftfield treasures, mind-melters and guilty pleasures. Swept off their feet by undeniable grooveladen sets served by the likes of François K, Mark Grusane, CC:Disco!, Session Victim, Dee Diggs and more, dancers are held in the warmest embrace of balloons and mirrorball kisses—at Love Games, everyone’s a winner. Joy continues to take the lead in Lauren’s production work. Her hot n’ ready edits [out on the cheeky Fundido chaps’ eponymous Brooklyn-based label] range from funky tongue-in-cheek serenades [“Married Men”], sleaze-tastic glam rock gems [“Paradise Garage”], to blazingly glorious femme anthems [“Under Fire”] that will have you reaching for your hairbrush mic! They’re a perfect extension of who she is today as a DJ and selector—an irrepressible force of Fun, dedicated to surprising her dance floors with an open invitation to Love.Recently at Libera, Good Room, Superior Ingredients · often with Finn Jones, Love Games, Ryan McKnight, none of them here that night

Celebrated for traveling the world to find new musical gems, from the Middle East, Europe, Tokyo, and Bangkok, Kristine Barilli has spent the last 20 years traversing the far reaching corners of the globe in pursuit of the world’s most elusive and undiscovered musical gems. She is a born and bred New Yorker with a masterful ability to translate her listening habits into rhapsodic DJ sets. As sharp as the city she hails from, Barilli’s punk ethos blends seamlessly with her eclectic style, often incorporating rare and esoteric tracks into her performances. Her sound, which she describes as “sleazy and street-based,” is an ode to her independent conviction, creating a symbiotic relationship between her vast knowledge and ever-expanding audience. Barilli has built a reputation for her unique and eclectic sound, sharing stages with prominent artists like DJ Harvey, 2ManyDJs, and James Murphy. She’s a fixture in New York’s music scene, regularly playing at venues such as Good Room, Public Records, and Knockdown Center. She also hosts “Totally Corrupt,” a monthly radio show on The Lot Radio and works as the lead music supervisor for ROVR and New York’s Raina. She has been featured in numerous books such as Dust and Grooves and VINYL NYC for her extensive and diverse record collection and has served as Music Director/Curator at Public Records as well as Fotografiska Museum + Currently Peoples NY.Recently at Good Room, Million Goods, Elsewhere · often with Seedy J, Arianna Danae, Justin Strauss, none of them here that night
