Spinall Open Air
Brooklyn, New York
Overview
SPINALL is synonymous with Afrobeat in the celebrated artists' native Nigeria. In fact, in recent years, he's become the poster boy for the genre well beyond the borders of The Continent, championing the sound globally. On June 4, the multi-award-winning DJ, producer, and songwriter will electrify The Roof of Superior Ingredients with his high-energy, uplifting sound powered by his African heritage.
If you need confirmation that SPINALL knows how to throw down, look no further than his lauded brand TheCAP. Named for the signature Yoruba cap he always wears, it also doubles as an acronym for Crazy Ass Party, a common phrase uttered by fans after leaving a SPINALL set. TheCAP has remained a sign of musical excellence for over a decade and has become a global event series and record label.
Initially rising to prominence on Nigerian national radio in 2004, SPINALL is a jack of all trades in the music industry. As a producer, he's continually risen the ranks with each of his five albums. His breakthrough third album, Dreams, dropped in 2017 on TheCAP Music. It boldly declared his powerhouse status in Nigeria and beyond, featuring many of the most notable afrobeat artists, including Wizkid, Mr Eazi, Davido, Wande Coal, and Olamide.
Dreams catapulted him to international acclaim. In 2017 he was the official DJ for the BET International Awards, and embarked on a worldwide tour that took him from South Africa to London and the United States, where he was the first African DJ to perform at SXSW in Austin, Texas. He's continued to dominate the global festival scene with bookings at Coachella, Glastonbury, and recently opening for Bruno Mars in Sydney. His influence is so powerful that Harvard Business School invited him to speak at the 26th Annual Africa Accelerated Conference.
His latest album, TOP BOY, was released in February and features a plethora of superstar collaborators such as 6LACK, Tay Iwar, and DJ Snake. It's yet another example of the diversity and reach of SPINALL's unique and compelling sound. With over 50M streams, it's a runaway hit, as evidenced by his recent headlining performance of "Power" at the 2022 MTV EMAs in Germany.
As the global impact of Afrobeat continues, it's a pleasure to bring one of Nigeria's foremost talents in the genre to The Roof at Superior Ingredients.
The Roof boasts stunning views of the city skyline in the heart of Williamsburg. Located at 74 Wythe, the former home of Output, it's the perfect venue to soak up the vibrant energy of Brooklyn's music scene. With SPINALL at the helm, providing a soundtrack that transcends borders and brings people together through the power of rhythm, the evening promises picturesque sunset vistas and unforgettable moments on the dancefloor.
