Ultra Violet, Sailor Goon, Smurfoudirty

Hot girl summer is in full effect. Friday, July 31st, Ultra Violet kicks off the first night of her summer residency at Dead Letter No. 9, bringing the heat straight to Cargo. A force in NYC's underground dance scene, Bronx-born Dominican-American DJ Ultra Violet blends house, disco, dembow, and a healthy dose of nostalgia into sets that feel like the perfect New York summer night: sweaty, euphoric, and impossible to leave early. Drawing from the energy and cultural collision of the city she grew up in, her selections move effortlessly between genres while keeping one thing front and center: the dance floor. Joining her in Cargo is Sailor Goon, serving a global blend of dancehall, amapiano, afrobeats, soca, UKG, and straight-up dance floor weapons. Her sets are high-energy, genre-fluid, and guaranteed to keep the room moving. Be ready to sweat. In the Foyer, Smurfoudirty takes control all night long. A true NYC staple with over a decade behind the decks, he pulls from funk, disco, house, and soulful cuts with the ease of someone who's been surrounded by music his entire life. The son of funk powerhouse Dennis "Menace" Weeden and grandson of jazz legend Terry Pollard, the musical DNA runs deep. Expect range, a selector's ear, and a journey through soulful house, disco, funk, deep cuts, and records you didn't know you needed to hear. If you've heard any of these selectors before, you already know: this is not a night for standing still. Free before 10PM w/ RSVP | 21+
