NYC // TOMORROW – W Hotels & Boiler Room Present: Do Not Disturb 003 (Video)

Boiler Room NY has been on quite a roll recently; with a couple of invigorating broadcasts that featured the likes of headliners such as Nicolas Jaar and Frankie Knuckles, there was only one direction to go, which was up. Enter “Do Not Disturb” a collaborative brainchild of Boiler Room and W Hotels Worldwide, where underground music streaming bonanza meets a suite at The W. The combination usually brought upon a massive party that blurred lines between genres and made all the party people jump with joy. The New York edition is sure to do the same with a lineup that’s exciting as much as it is eclectic, going from alternative R&B darlings (Solange), to NYC heavyweight hip-hop kings (Pete Rock, Cam’ron), all the way to one of the kings of house music (Kenny Dope). Let’s also not forget Brooklyn-via-Chicago bass aficionado Brenmar will be going back-to-back with A$AP DJs, and Halifax’s favorite son, Ryan Hemsworth will also be at the proceedings, providing heat. Check out some antics from the London showcase at The W, featuring JETS down below.
