  the whole biography

  Douglas Sherman has been a pivotal figure of David Mancuso’s seminal Loft party in New York City, notably as David’s longest serving back-up musical host since 1984. He brings an unmatched depth of experience and passion to the turntables. He was one of the founders of the underground collective, Joy; created Adventures in Flight, a monthly gathering of dancers and music heads at Nowadays; and transformed the Panther Room at Output with a tripped-out cathedral of balloons for a series of events celebrating inclusivity and music culture. He currently co-hosts 7th Heaven with Joey Llanos, a quarterly party at Good Room that combines their Paradise Garage and Loft pedigrees, blending a diversity of selections emanating from the city's ever-evolving dance music underground. He also reunited with his fellow Joy mates to start a new party, OneOneOne, playing together in their unique sequential style at Holo. As a musical host, Douglas enables the power of music to captivate the audience, crafting continuous waves of harmonious sounds that foster immersive and transformative experiences, emphasizing thematic development over beat matching. His selections span the entirety of dance music history across multiple genres, where every record stands on its own and the music plays us.
