On Sunday, August 24th, we’re hosting a special 

 Party summer throwdown on the rooftop of 

—one of the best open-air spaces in New York. The spotlight is on bad tuner, the Brooklyn-based producer and DJ whose genre-blending sets pull from house, breaks, and global club sounds.

Since debuting in 2018, he’s shared stages with artists like TOKiMONSTA, Bon Entendeur, Catching Flies, and Beshken, and has performed at venues and events including 

 in Austin. His tracks have landed on global radio stations and key editorial playlists, and he also contributed a score to 

give me a reason

Whether he’s playing solo or curating multi-artist nights like his “bad tuner & friends” series, his sets always deliver a forward-thinking mix with a strong sense of place.

, the LA-based duo of Kyle Kaplan and Vinnie Pergola, known for their blend of house and indie-dance. Since their breakout in 2016, they’ve topped US Dance Radio with “Just A Feeling,” released on ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective, and gained support from artists like Pete Tong, Diplo, and Jai Wolf. Now leading their own label, Speed Dial Records, they’re focused on pushing independent electronic music forward with a string of new releases in 2025.

, the Chicago-born duo known for their joyful and rhythm-forward productions. With over 100 million streams and a reputation for high-energy, feel-good sets, they’ve played major festivals like 

—earned critical support from BBC Radio 1, KCRW, KEXP, Triple J, and more, with their self-titled debut peaking on the album charts. 

Coming off their headline “Speaking Across Time” tour and a string of remixes and collaborations with acts like 

, Clementine Douglas, and ODESZA, the duo now prepares to unveil their next chapter: 

, a more experimental club-leaning project, due out this summer.

The very creative and niche NYC music producer 

 adds a cool touch to this lineup. Having played with bad tuner before, this set brings a familiar synergy and fresh underground energy that fits right into the tone of the BLUE Party.
