Ultra Violet, Sailor Goon, SMURFOUDIRTY - Dead Letter No.9

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, and she's 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. A monthly resident at House of Yes and a familiar face on stages like Bonnaroo and Glitterbox, Ultra Violet knows exactly how to work a room. Whether you've seen her before or this is your first time catching a set, expect big energy, deep cuts, and plenty of moments that make the walls shake. Joining Ultra 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, lose track of time, and hear at least three tracks you'll immediately need to ID. In the Foyer, Smurfoudirty takes the room from start to finish with an extended all-night-long session. 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. Expect a selector's ear. Expect a journey through soulful house, disco, funk, deep cuts, and records you didn't know you needed to hear. Free before 10PM w/ RSVP | 21+ Venue opens at 5PM | Happy Hour 5PM-7PM | Music at 9PM
