Birthed in the Bronx in the mid-’80s, freestyle music went on to dominate radio airwaves, roller rinks, and nightclubs in NYC, Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles with its irresistible combo of romantic lyrics over laser-sharp synths and 808 beats. We’ve enlisted two of the eras top DJs—Jellybean Benitez of The Funhouse and Louie Vega of The Devil’s Nest—to help us curate this massive freestyle celebration, featuring special live performances and other dancefloor surprises. Teased bangs & Z Cavariccis recommended. Get your tickets here
