Frequency Fest was born from BEATs TABLE, a short documentary tracking underground producers inside cramped bedrooms across Brooklyn.

Now those drum machines have an entire island lawn.
We built Frequency Fest to take beatmakers, MCs, and vocalists out of dim studio rooms and put their craft directly under the August sun.

These are artists who build sound every single day whether an industry room is watching or not.

“Pixels in Perspective” explores the distance between inherited narratives and lived experience. Through digital paintings, I examine the Black perspective—not as a single story, but as a history of resilience, contradiction, and the search for identity.

Many of these works ask difficult questions about faith, memory, and power. For countless enslaved Africans, religion arrived alongside chains, offered by those who denied their humanity while preaching salvation. It is a paradox that continues to echo through generations: how do we reconcile a faith that has brought hope and spiritual strength with the history of its use as a tool of control?

The pixel, often dismissed as the smallest element of an image, reminds us that every story is built from countless fragments of truth. When viewed together, those fragments reveal a fuller picture—one that challenges us to see history, faith, and humanity through a different lens.

Ngl I love this song. I wrote it almost 10 years ago and it’s still one of my favorites

4c was inspired after losing my dad and deciding to go natural. After having my hair relaxed since I was 9 years old, the process of going natural was pretty difficult.
So I said “fuck it!” And cut off all my hair.

Seeing my actual curl pattern made me fall in love, thus 4c was born.

August 22nd I will sing this and plenty other tunes for you!! One More Time!! ( Until I return!)

My Day 1 @nateplaysguitar on guitar duh 😂😂

Moving Waters: A Choreographer’s Showcase

Flow into the Current of Change.

Join us Friday July 31st at 6pm for Moving Waters, a curated showcase of dance as a living, breathing current of connection.

Exploring heritage, identity, or the liberating act of simply being, featuring a diverse cohort of 7 boundary-pushing dancers and makers.

Movement is a vehicle for change, and water is fluid, powerful, and unstoppable as it carries us away or changes us gradually.

Featuring:
Shakun Davi Dance
Jullianne Grace Lao
Amanda Egan
Rachel Repinz

Get all the info and RSVP via the link in bio. We appreciate the support of your presence 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼and greenlove💸

Shakun Davi Dance
A dance collective founded by Indo-Caribbean multidisciplinary artist Christopher Bisram, Shakun Davi Dance unearths the parts of the human experience we often bury—identity, grief, trauma, and environmental crisis. Rooted in a fusion of House, Waacking, Post Modern, and Dunham Technique, their site-specific works center water and the environment as metaphors for the self. The collective brings together a diverse, experimental ensemble of dancers to create collaborative, thought-provoking work that makes dance accessible to all.

Jullianne Grace Lao is a Filipino dancer and choreographer from Queens, New York. She began her formal dance training in 2013 at Ballet Tech, where she developed a strong foundation in ballet and modern dance. She later joined the Hunter College Dance Department, broadening her movement vocabulary through studies in jazz, contemporary, Chinese folk, and Afro-diasporic forms.Her choreographic work explores a Graham-inspired movement language while critically engaging with the form’s historical and cultural roots—acknowledging the influence of Asian bodies and philosophies in its development. Deeply committed to authenticity and cultural heritage, Jullianne creates bold, theatrical, and atmospheric works that invite audiences to reconsider the origins of movement and the narratives embodied through dance.

Amanda Egan
A Summa Cum Laude graduate of Fordham/Alvin Ailey, Amanda Egan is a powerhouse who has performed with Modern, Ballet, and Jazz companies across NYC. S taken in Colonels Row, Governors Island by @duyemoves
