PEPPERPOT returns to Honey's on Thursday, October 15, from 8PM-1AM. Kicking things off on the rooftop before taking the party downstairs into the Winery, expect another night of high-energy sounds, genre-blurring selectors, and club music, well mixed.
PEPPERPOT is a genre-blending dance party series inspired by the movement of music, people, and culture.
Founded by Brooklyn-based artist, Samantha DaSilva, the series takes its name from Guyana's national dish. With indigenous origins and countless regional variations shaped through migration, exchange, and generations of shared tradition, pepperpot serves as a fitting metaphor for the evolution of club music itself.
Coming from a mixed Indo-Guyanese, Portuguese, Caribbean, and South American background, and growing up in diverse spaces across New York, Samantha has long been drawn to the ways music travels, across borders, communities, and generations.
PEPPERPOT is an extension of that perspective: a space that honors the roots of music while celebrating the many paths it has taken and the cultures that continue to shape it. It's a celebration of curiosity over categories, connection over assumptions, and a reminder that some of the most meaningful moments on a dancefloor happen when people step outside the boxes they're expected to fit into.
