Gemini Jam - Kim Lightfoot, Antonio Ocasio, MKL, Shawn Dub, Nickodemus + more

Geminis get a reputation for having two sides—so we gave them two rooms. We're opening up the flood gates with a stacked line up across the Foyer and CARGO celebrating the birthdays of Samir Hall + Taylor Myers the only way that makes sense: great music, full dance floor, and a Sunday in full swing. 3PM–5PM — Come early for a record fair hosted by Human Head + Range Music. Dig through the crates, meet the heads, and ease into the day before the place turns all the way up. In CARGO (7PM-12AM) : The Love & Respect crew takes the main room with a lineup that speaks to the heart of house music. Three DJs carrying the culture in different but deeply connected ways. Antonio Ocasio is a longtime pillar of New York’s house scene and the founder of Tribal Winds. His work spans decades, with global releases and collaborations rooted in soulful and Afro-influenced house. His sets pull from deep house, Latin rhythms, and jazz-driven textures, grounded in the traditions of NYC’s underground. MKL brings over 30 years behind the decks and 20+ years in production. Founder of Lion1music, he’s released on labels like Wave Music, Spiritual Life, and Night Grooves, with collaborators including François K and Femi Kuti. His project 3 Generations Walking saw international success, including releases featured on major compilations like Buddha Bar. Kim Lightfoot is a cornerstone of New York’s soulful house movement, a DJ, dancer, and community builder whose presence behind the decks is as felt as it is heard. He’s known for sets that move with intention: deep, spiritual, and rooted in the traditions of Black dance music. His sound blends classic house, Afro-Latin rhythms, and percussive soul, always guided by the energy of the floor. For Kim, it’s never just about playing records—it’s about creating space, honoring lineage, and bringing people together through rhythm. In the Foyer: Nickodemus + Shawn Dub (6PM-Midnight) Nickodemus is a cornerstone of modern global club music, with a career spanning decades—from early NYC club nights to festival stages across Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Known for his Turntables on the Hudson sessions and extensive touring, his sets pull from house, disco, and hip-hop layered with Afro-Latin percussion, Middle Eastern melodies, and Caribbean rhythms. Shawn Dub brings it back to the core of New York house. A staple in the city’s underground, his sound is rooted in soulful, driving grooves with a deep respect for the culture’s foundations. His sets are steady, locked-in, and built for dancers, classic NYC energy with no shortcuts. Free before 5PM w/ RSVP | 21+ Free entry all night for Geminis Happy Hour 5PM-7PM
