ADULT SECTION
Adult Section with selectors Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area) and Dennis "Citizen" Kane (Disques Sinthomme) takes you on a trip to the left lane of the dance realm. The mix reaches out over a broad range of sounds and appeals to the sybarite in us all. From the balearic start to the deep disco groove, from the hardness of classic house, to the swing of new underground jams, the palette of sound is in the service of building a tremendous swell on the floor. The Adult Section party brings the intimate sweat of an afterhours loft jumpoff as well as the cosmic lyricism of early Ibiza. Some of the best songs you have never heard along with classics you only think you have remembered. Jesrani and Kane have built a fierce following by trusting their own instincts and then honing them, rocking dance floors worldwide. Theirs is a course that connects developments in "new disco" with the tough eclecticism of classic new york parties. In the Adult Section its time to push back the rugs and get down with that get down.

TURNTABLES ON THE HUDSON
When Nickodemus and Mariano started the Turntables on the Hudson (TOTH) parties in 1998 it was one of the first late night outdoor events in NYC. With the addition of Groove Collective founding member Nappy G on percussion, the party became an adventurous, young, free-spirited community known for its eclectic musical blend.
In the past ten years TOTH took their beats from parking garages, lofts & boats to residencies at renowned NY clubs and venues like The Frying Pan, Opaline, Shelter, The Brooklyn Loft, Cielo, Element, Hiro Ballroom, SOB's and Spiegelworld. After ten years, the TOTH parties are now taking place Fridays at the Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City overlooking Manhattan and the East River.
TOTHís music policy has always been maximum funk and absolute fun. One can easily hear home-born genres like hip-hop, funk, house and soul played back to back with Latin, Afrobeat and Eastern European gypsy sounds. In addition to hosting live guests in the past including Brazilian Girls, Antibalas, Tortured Soul and Los Amigos Invisibles, the crew has also fused live musicianship into their sets. The heavy percussive element has been highlighted with West African percussion ensembles, live samba batucada bands and New Orleans & Eastern Brass bands. Top-shelf DJs that joined them on deck over the past decade including Louie Vega,DJ Spinna, Rich Medina, DJ Smash, Mr. Scruff, Rainer Truby, Peter Kruder, Quantic and Mark Rae, among dozens of others.
Turntables on the Hudson has six volumes of music that were made by members of the crew and from friends in NY and abroad. Artists such as Zeb, Nickodemus, Nappy G, Quantic, Candela Allstars, Raeo, Sabo, Jay Rogriguez and Groove Collective are frequent contributors to the TOTH sound.
