Late Night Shri's avant-garde and eclectic style is a direct reflection of his hometown, San Francisco. On any given night, one can experience him artfully weaving techno, house, disco, breaks, and numerous variations thereof. The end result? A seamless blend that crafts a narrative resonating with the live audience's moment.

NYC Debut @ Superior Ingredients, 2:45pm-6pm Sunset. 

Gratitude:
Thanks for the wild energy NYC -- and thanks Superior Ingredients and Spencer Brown for having me. Playing a 700 person, sold out rooftop in Brooklyn during sunset -- wow, what an experience.

About the set:
Normally, I'm playing shorter sets, later in the evening in a dark club. I've only had to play longer sets on occasion, usually for friends, for myself, or at places like Burning Man. Longer sets like these enable a DJ to truly work their catalogue and craft a story for the audience -- I feel like there's been such a push to fill lineups and sell tickets as dance has become bigger, but extended sets tend to be the most exciting for me as a DJ and as a listener. 

Playing a long set, during the day, with such an educated, full, and loving crowd in Brooklyn was an incredible treat -- it was wonderful seeing how many people were there locked into the grooves and open to changes in energy, mood, and genre. 3 hours is too long to come to a dancefloor in a powerful, one-dimensional way and hold their attention. To me, as a DJ, that means taking a lot of risks and paying attention so that you can take the right risks to move the energy of the music with the energy of the crowd. Thank you so much NYC for letting me take those risks and for dancing alongside me.

Late Night Shri - Live @ Superior Ingredients (Spencer Brown, Brooklyn, NYC - Jan 2023) by Late Night Shri (Discow)

An enthusiastic record collector with a deep affection for electronic music, Late Night Shri's versatility is showcased as he fluidly performs alongside a diverse range of artists.

When discussing his unique approach to DJing, Shri notes a departure from the norm: “While many DJs categorize their collections based on genre or energy, shifting from one to another, I once followed this method too. However, as both a listener and performer, I found it too analytical and lacking in emotional depth. 

Now, I liken my DJ sets to compelling movies. My aim is to immerse my audience in a whirlwind of emotions—from chills to joy, tension to warmth, melancholy to introspection. This intent drives how I organize my collection and defines the experiences I aim to create during my performances.”

Shri's impressive resume includes performances alongside a slew of world-class DJs and producers, such as Ame, Stephen Bodzin, Sebastien Leger, Spencer Brown, Yokoo, Bora Uzer, Laolu, Fur Coat, Woo York, and many others. His talent has graced top clubs in the US, from San Francisco’s Midway and Public Works to New York’s Superior Ingredients and 3 Dollar Bills. He's also been a notable presence at Detroit's Movement Festival and the legendary Burning Man.

But Shri's passion extends beyond the turntables. He's committed to curating transformative events, from free sunrise gatherings at picturesque SF spots to co-founding the iconic Burning Man art car, Discow. The dedication and creativity he invests in his events, combined with the unparalleled auditory adventures he curates, are the ingredients for the magical experiences synonymous with a Late Night Shri party.
