Colored Craig takes the curatorial reins for his final residency night, with NAYGOD and Donis in The Sound Room and Cosmo going back-to-back all night with Craig himself in The Atrium.
Embodying both tradition and innovation, Donis warms things up while tastefully pushing the deeper intersections of soulful house, Afro house, techno, and disco before LA’s NAYGOD takes over. Their sets are sonic expressions of Black queer and trans joy: deeply personal, wide-ranging explorations of sounds that emerge from the Black experience. Craig and Cosmo need no introduction by this point; just prepare for a revitalization of the dancefloor with plenty of taste and technical prowess to go around.

their own biography
the whole biography
Born in Ohio and raised by New York clubs, Cosmo is a shining modern representative of the city’s Golden Age of DJing, in skill, in spirit, and in sensibility. A forever student of 90s subcultures, Cosmo is now an authority in connecting those dots, decompartmentalizing genres during her sets and revitalizing the club as a much needed space for expression and joy. Cosmo may open a night with her early entry points to dance music, gospel and funk and vocal-heavy RnB, and proceed to blend break beats with new jack swing or old-school house with tribal—all delivered with remarkable clarity of voice and a sense of self that fueled her fated teenage move to New York to DJ over a decade ago. Being from the Midwest, her house music literacy circles its epicenters and favors groovy records, warm basslines, playful vocals, and elating instrumentals that stir the spirit. Her deep knowledge, cultural curiosity, and refreshing authenticity make Cosmo one of New York’s most in-demand DJs, a regular at the most iconic clubs and a Fashion Week party go-to. She is a resident at Public Records, where she can explore every inch of her collection and join forces with legends like Sandy Rivera as well as other torchbearing peers. She’s represented the city sharing the decks with her heroes like Honey Dijon and Mike Dunn, and on esteemed platforms such as Benji B’s BBC Radio 1 show and Luke Solomon’s Classic Music Company show. As a longtime resident at The Lot Radio, Cosmo gets the opportunity to share everything she cherishes and often includes parts of her CD and magazine archives. Music has soundtracked Cosmo’s every move. Her gratitude for her practice is apparent, and her effervescence behind the decks reaches the crowd no matter the size of the room—a musical hug that holds dancers through times good and bad.Recently at public records, Jupiter Disco, Good Room · often with Eli Escobar, Hidden Spheres, Belinda Becker, none of them here that night
