DJ Lineup: Uptown Vinyl Supreme x Rhythm & Hues x yiuyiu 瑤瑤
Close out the summer in NYC style with our Chinatown x The Bronx Block Party! Inspired by the sounds of Chinatown, the Bronx, & beyond, we’re bringing an all-vinyl lineup to go b2b (back-to-back) on the streets.
Uptown Vinyl Supreme is a DJ collective and community organization born in The Bronx, NYC, paying homage to the analog roots of music, party, and dance culture. Records have the power to uplift, inspire, and heal the people.Friends and lovers of vinyl Sunny Cheeba, Buddy, Josh Hubi, and Chiqui B take this responsibility seriously and continue to explore progressive ways in which this power can reach audiences all over the world, be it through dance gatherings, individual sessions, workshops, private functions, or cultural institutions. @uptownvinylsupreme
