Resolute 11 - Under the Stars
Starting Saturday night at midnight and running straight through to Sunday night, the crew at Resolute are throwing a very underground birthday bash for halcyon alum Derek Plaslaiko (Spectral) who will be treating attendees to an extended 5 hour set. The marathon line up also features halcyon DJs Adultnapper (Ransom Note/Audiomatique) and DJ Connie along with Elon (Clink/Dumb Unit) Taimur & Fahad (Blk|market Membership) plus more surprise guests.
NOTE: This is a private, strictly guest list only party to be held aboard a luxurious captainless boat docked in a top secret Greenpoint location. To attend, you MUST RSVP to resolutenyc@gmail.com no later than 7pm on Saturday. Be sure to mention halcyon in your email and include full first and last names of all attendees - plus ones will not be honored. You will receive an email reply on Saturday night with the location and directions. The boat has indoor/outdoor space and this event is on, rain or shine.
halcyon the shop is a dynamic concept space in Dumbo, Brooklyn's über-hot waterfront destination district. "the shop" offers a world class dj-oriented music store, design boutique and gallery, with roots deep in the talent-rich local community it serves; both as a social networking hub, creative resource and showcase. Nestled on a corner facing the majestic Manhattan Bridge anchorage, the shop's unique interior makes an immediate impression with it's 14' vaulted brick ceilings and playful "outside-in" design, a mixture of faux grass and bark treatments, edge lit green acrylic accents, custom fixtures of re-purposed heart pine and pools of loose river rocks on the floor.
Dedicated to supporting the underground music, art and fashion that shapes our urban experience, the shop offers an obsessively curated selection of underground, imported and independently released music, focusing on DJ-friendly new and used vinyl, as well as CDs and DVDs. A friendly, knowledgeable staff, and an open listening policy combine to defy the stereotype of the DJ store as an intimidating place, instead encouraging customers to explore the unfamiliar and expand their musical boundaries. On the design side, the shop features a constantly changing array of hand screened T-shirts and fashion accessories, art and design books, periodicals and self published 'zines, posters and prints. A gallery space mounts monthly shows spotlighting local, national and international talent in the graf and street art realm. Beyond "the shop" halcyon produces, co-promotes and provides DJ talent and music programming for a busy calendar of events ranging from local community block parties to underground dance parties in NYC's top club and lounge venues.
Who I'd like to meet: DJs, Producers, Music Connoisseurs, Party People, Graf Artists, Designers, Entrepreneurs, Hustlers, Filmmakers, Street Culture Pimps, Fashionistas, Hipsters, and anyone who dares to not take themselves too seriously while striving to make art, make a difference and enjoy life.
