As the production duo Cedar Sound Workshop, DJs Bradford James and Monchan create alluring house cuts that reflect their love of the deeper strains of New York, Chicago and Detroit dance music. Kalim Shabazz founded NYC's legendary Afterlife party in 1993 and has since served up soulful grooves in cities around the globe. His production resume dates back to the early '90s and includes releases on King Street Sounds, Wave Music and Shelter Records. At present, Kalim is working with longtime collaborator Nick Jones on an album of soulful jazz-inspired tunes, as well as new solo material that pulls from harder-edged European sounds. He, Bradford James and Monchan all share the ability to give a nod to the past, while keeping their sights set on the future. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Nowadays is an indoor and outdoor gathering place on the border of Bushwick and Ridgewood. We've got a full bar, a kitchen, a nice sound system, a wood dance floor and lots of trees and house plants. Most of the time, it's free to come to Nowadays, but we do have a cover for some of our nighttime events. If there's a cover but you're a little tight on dough, you can buy early bird tickets on RA, or RSVP for reduced entry on Fridays and Saturdays at http://nowadays.nyc/rsvp We want Nowadays to be a comfortable space for everyone. Please treat everyone with respect when you're here. If someone says or does anything to make you feel uncomfortable, let us know. All of our bartenders, security, managers, sound staff and door staff can help you. Also, for the sake of the vibe, please don't take pictures or use your phone on or around the dance floor. Thanks! And we look forward to seeing you soon. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
