    the whole biography
    Ali Coleman is a New York City–based DJ, producer, and cultural organizer whose relationship with DJ culture began in 1979, emerging from early disco, block parties, and club spaces that centered music as a tool for release and connection. That lineage continues to inform his intuitive, people-centered approach today. As a DJ and producer, Ali’s sound draws from deep, soulful, Afro-influenced, and globally inspired house music, blending classic foundations with forward-facing selections. His work spans clubs, festivals, cultural institutions, and public spaces, adapting seamlessly across contexts while maintaining musical integrity. Ali brings both underground credibility and seasoned professionalism to every room—whether he’s warming up a floor, taking it peak-time, or closing with intention. . In 2023, Ali marked 30 years of professionally bringing communities together through dance, culture, music and inclusion. Ali has hosted events and DJed at some of New York’s top clubs and party spaces such as House of Yes, Nowadays, Cielo, Public Records, Club Shelter, Water Taxi Beach, Santos Party House, Limelight, and many others. He has shared the bill with more than 300 DJs, including Francois K, Natasha Diggs, Rich Medina, Justin Carter, Doc Martin, and hundreds more. In 2017, Ali helped organize and bring about historic change, working with an array of the city’s creative minds to get the Cabaret Law repealed and to institute the first Mayor’s Office of Nightlife. Ali has dedicated his life to being a positive community connector with a flair for bringing people together.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Jeremy Giros is a Dominican-American multidisciplinary artist who has always existed at a nexus of creative influences. Growing up immersed in NYC’s art, dance, and party culture, he developed a finely tuned instinct for being able to create moments that speak directly to the body and soul. His sound glides effortlessly through House, Afro-Latin rhythms, soulful gems, and heavy club grooves—each selection purposeful, never overplayed, always with the dancer in mind. In the club, he doesn’t just play crowd-pleasers; he builds trust, guiding dance floors with deep cuts, heavy percussive grooves, and moments of joyful surprise that hit just right. He’s earned a solid rep in NYC’s underground through his SanDia rooftop residency, his Mad Flava NYC collective, and releases on Demuir’s Purveyor Underground label, as well as playing various guest slots at some of the city’s hottest dance floors including Cielo, Nightmoves, Public Records, Paragon, Le Bain, and more.
    Their RA profile lists Purveyor Underground.
