Elrow NYC: Summer Festival 2022 Far Rowest

Summer in New York is the perfect time to experience an elrow festival. It’s perfect weather for being immersed in a colorful world of hilarious characters, while inflatables bounce above and confetti streams down. And as luck would have it the only North American elrow festival is making a stop at the Brooklyn Mirage for a two-stage 11-hour take over on Saturday, July 23. And for the first time ever, elrow is going sunset to sunrise.

The Brooklyn Mirage is the perfect location to host such a spectacle. The newly redesigned venue has been outfitted with state-of-the-art festival-sized production, including a custom-built 30-foot tall, 200-foot wide, 15K resolution video wall.

Elrow consistently curates lineups of the world's best in underground house talent. And this will be no different with an all-star cast of elrow regulars and established stars in dance music who will keep you dancing all night long.

However, an elrow party is so much more than the music. In fact, they are so dedicated to providing the most incredible fan-focused experiences that when they first began in Barcelona, they refused to book headlining acts, keeping the focus on the dancefloor.

Elrow is all about getting into the spirit of the theme. And they are experts at building immersive worlds full of larger-than-life deco, towering stage designs, and inviting colorful performers to keep everyone in character. Keeping the focus on the fans and the spectacle on the dance floor  has been a part of the model since the party began in Barcelona in 2008, elrow founder and CEO Juan Arneau told Festival insider in 2021.

You won't want to miss the Western-themed show that will spread out across two stages with an all-star cast of the world's finest underground house DJs.The only thing you need to do is bring your dancing shoes and create your own colorful persona for the night. Think cowboy boots, dusty landscapes, chaps, and ten-gallon hats.

Heading up the incredible lineup is veteran DJ and producer Paco Osuna. The owner of Mindshake Records, he has a career that spans over two decades. A titan of techno, his intense creativity has led him to be a pioneering artist with releases on Defected, Snatch!, Insomniac, and Toolroom. His elegantly crafted DJ sets have made him a sought-after performer with appearances at Space Miami, Coachella, BPM, EDC Vegas, and practically every Ibiza hotspot.

HoneyLuv is a rising star in house music whose trajectory since 2020 has only grown more potent. Fast becoming a regular on the festival circuit, she's played at Coachella, EDC, Seismic, Skyline, and Space Miami for Chris Lake's Black Book Records Showcase. In her short time in the scene, her songs like "Thr33 6ix 5ive" and "Your Tongue" have earned the praises of industry greats like Pete Tong, MK, and Mark Knight.

Joshwa's collaboration with Repopulate Mars frontman Lee Foss "My Humps" was a solid summer slumper in 2021. The London-based producer burst onto the scene in 2018 with his smashing tech house rework of Fat Boy Slim's "Praise You." He's continued dominating with releases on venerated labels like Spinnin Deep, Solotoko, and Sink or Swim and support for his dynamic discography from the likes of John Summit, Vintage Culture, and Claptone.

Tech house man of the moment, Cloonee's rise over the last two years has been felt across the whole of underground house. His recent collaboration with Chris Lake, "Nightmares" and his remix of Lake's "Turn Off The Lights" exemplify the producer's trademark hip-shaking, low-end rocking style. No wonder he's become such a sought-after performer frequenting the best clubs and festivals.

Martin Ikin returns to the elrow New York stage again to prove why he's been such a pivotal part of the underground dance scene for so long. The British producer's tracks like "How I Feel," "Hooked," and "Ready 2 Dance" have redefined the sound of modern house music and racked up over 50 million streams on Spotify alone.

Brother sister duo Shermanology's ability to fuse the sultry funk of house music with the Caribbean sounds of Curaçao has made Dorothy ad Andy Sherman two of the most exciting artists in recent memory. In 2021 their track "Boyz N Da Club" took over the charts and radio waves, getting spins from everyone from BBC Radio 1's Danny Howard to Laidback Luke, Eats Everything, and Annie Mac.

Mele's unique tribal house meets disco-funk style has put him at the forefront of the UK house movement. He frequently appears on Defected Records and at their parties all over the world. His recent Busta Rhymes sampling collaboration with Diplo "Right 2 Left" has his trademark ass moving drums all over it.

Haitian-born New York-based Francis Mercier expertly infuses the sounds of his Afro-Caribbean roots, disco, and soul onto a melting pot of melodic, tech, and funky house. The Deep Rppt Records founder has become a regular on stages from Ibiza to Paris, Stockholm to Munich, and beyond. He is heavily supported by Black Coffee, Diplo, Carl Cox, and Pete Tong.

NEZ seamlessly melds the worlds of hip hop and house music with a sense of style and energy that's impossible not to dance to. With collaborative work ranging from ScHoolboy Q and Flo Milli to Jamie Jones and Moodyman, the recent Circoloco Records resident has even seen his music featured in Grand Theft Auto.

Long-time friend of Defected Franky Rizardo is also a regular at ANTS and elrow events, having played shows with the colorful Spanish brand everywhere from Amsterdam, London, and Spain to New York. His ability to bring the sounds of classic house into the modern arena has made him a renowned name across the world. And his party brand LTF has given him the platform to build immersive musical environments and host stages at festivals Like Tomorrowland.

One of elrow's earliest resident DJs, Toni Varga's impact on the Spanish house music scene is immense. He's spread his warm and elegant sound through his previous residency at Amnesia and frequent appearances at Pacha, Space, Monegros, Creamfields, and Dreambeach. And the industry has spent over 15 years singing his praises with releases on Octopus, Rawthentic, and Desert Hearts.

Jean Pierre is a legend of the New York house scene, but his sound has spread far beyond the shores of America. Beautifully blending deep and soulful house with big room techno, Pierre's Colombian roots are just as much an influence as the city he grew up in. With releases on Cuttin' Headz, Defected, and Hot Creations, Support from Marco Corolla, Seth Troxler, and Jamie Jones, and a touring schedule that includes a residency at the legendary Pacha Ibiza for Jamie Jones' Paradise, Jean Pierre s clearly has a global footprint.
