NYC mainstay cry$cross moves through the underground with a sound that’s emotionally charged, rhythmically sharp, and impossible to pin down. Pulling from house, techno, garage, club edits, and diasporic percussion, her sets balance intensity with fluidity, built for locked-in dancers and late-night moments alike. A longtime presence in New York nightlife, CRY$CROSS brings community and experimentation to the center of everything she does, channeling the energy of the city into every blend. Expect deep cuts, high pressure grooves, and a dancefloor that stays moving start to finish.Recently at Jupiter Disco, Moondog Hifi, The Bush Dyke Bar · often with chuki, Kweku Saunderson, Ubabu, none of them here that night

While Sevyn's calling for live instrumentation and musical arrangement has thrived, she has unanticipatedly embarked on her journey into the world of DJ'ing and established her name and footprint in musical spaces outside of her hometown, Washington DC. Sevyn is a producer, DJ, curator and founder of music platform and curatorial studio "Beautiful Noise" based in Brooklyn, NY. She seeks connections through music and her deep appreciation for culture and history radiates through narrative-driven mixes and productions. She centralizes story and narrative; genres are just chapters which, when taken together, are greater than the sum of their parts. Her energy on the dancefloor pulsates the same rhythm while weaving in and out of records from House gems to Jazz, Techno and Soul. Her commitment to music and sound has led her to opportunities in spaces outside of the club. She composed a piece for a film presented in the Alvin Ailey exhibit titled "Edges of Ailey", directed by Kya Lou and Josh Begley at The Whitney Museum in New York City. The birth of Beautiful Noise has expanded her role as a curator soundtracking The Getty Museum celebrating Black Visual Culture for the African American Art History Initiative. Her time as a DJ has brought her gigs internationally where she toured and opened for jazz musician Cktrl, played at the legendary Tresor in Berlin, London, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul and more. Whether playing in her stomping grounds or rocking dance floors overseas, Sevyn creates dance floor memories you'll want to replay again and again.Recently at BASEMENT, Silence Please, Green Room NYC · often with VARSHA, Honey Bun, Tlim Shug, none of them here that night
