Dos Flakos, Maddylane, SMURFOUDIRTY, Raphael Ernesto - Dead Letter No.9

No warm-up needed. Two rooms, full range; CARGO runs high, the Foyer runs deep. Built for the dancers. Dos Flakos take CARGO 12AM–3:30AM. Expect a set that swings hard between Latin house, dance music and left-field club cuts, stitched together with fire transitions you won’t hear anywhere else. Fast hands, sharp turns, no dead air. Since 2014, Dos Flakos (Chris and Rich) have built a sound that reflects exactly where they’re from; Bronx energy, Dominican roots, and years of digging that show up in every transition. Their tracks like Sazon and Palo Santo carry that same DNA; rhythm-forward, unpredictable, and made to hit in a packed space. Opening CARGO (10PM–12AM) is Maddylane. A Colombian/Mexican New Yorker with over a decade behind the decks, Maddylane brings a sound shaped across Brooklyn, Washington Heights, and the Bronx deeply rooted in culture and community. As the founder of Aura Soul, Heat Wave and MëlaninaNYC, she’s built a following through intentional, feel-good gatherings, including takeovers at spots like The Red Pavilion in Brooklyn. Her reach has extended beyond New York as well, with appearances on platforms like MAD Radio Miami and other community-driven events. In the Foyer: SMURFOUDIRTY + Raphael Ernesto (9PM-3AM) SMURFOUDIRTY a NYC staple with over a decade behind the decks pulls from funk, disco, house, and soulful cuts. He brings serious musical DNA son of funk powerhouse Dennis “Menace” Weeden (Bootsy Collins, Parliament, Taana Gardner, Gwen McCrae) and grandson of jazz legend Terry Pollard, Detroit Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. That lineage shows. His sets are packed with soulful house, classic joints, and deep-cut rhythms that feel lived-in. Be ready to dance. Raphael Ernesto (Birthday set!) brings over 30 years behind the decks, rooted in NYC’s ‘90s rave underground and shaped across dancefloors worldwide, including Space Ibiza along side Carl Cox and beyond . His sound stays grounded in classic New York house and disco, stretched into long, locked-in blends that keep the floor moving. Birthday set, so expect a turn up!
