Mind Games by Discip

Braydon Terzo represents the next wave of U.S. club artists, breaking through with Minty, a track that found global play and was heard at institutions like Space Miami and Circoloco Ibiza. His releases on Nervous Records, COCO UK, and Muse have been supported by Chris Lake, Cloonee, Chris Stussy, Mau P, and Sosa, and in 2025 he launched his Roots imprint with a debut release that reached No. 1 on Beatport’s Minimal / Deep Tech chart. 

Going b2b with Braydon is Edd, a DJ/producer from Malta who was named one of BBC Radio 1’s Top 10 Future Stars. He’s played major venues including Ushuaïa Ibiza, Hï Ibiza, and Ministry of Sound, while launching his own local event brand, 999. His music has landed on labels like Trick, Hot Trax, Positiva, and Three Six Zero, with support from Jamie Jones, Pete Tong, Patrick Topping, Sarah Story, Danny Howard, Denis Sulta, and more. His standout track “Mama Used To Say” has passed 1M Spotify streams and was featured on the FIFA 23 official soundtrack.

 Also joining the fun is local talent, AAFTERS. Join us as Discip, Edd, and Brayden throw down at one of Brooklyn's newest and hottest clubs.
