The Soul Rebels are riding high in 2019, receiving national attention with recent performances with Katy Perryand DMX, and featured on NPR's Tiny Desk series, a debut late night TV appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and a headlining set at theTED Conference. The band continues to expand its international reach touring four continents including Europe, Australia, China, South Korea and Japan. Their explosive stage presence has led to live collaborations with the likes of: Nas, G-Eazy, Robin Thicke, Macy Gray, Portugal. The Man, Robert Glasper, Pretty Lights, Curren$y, Joey Bada$$, Talib Kweli, GZA, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Mobb Deep, Raekwon, Metallica, and Marilyn Manson among many others, and opening for Lauryn Hill and Nile Rodgers.The Soul Rebels started with an idea -to expand upon the pop music they loved on the radio and the New Orleans brass tradition they grew up on. They took that tradition and blended funk and soul with elements of hip hop, jazz and rock all within a brass band context. The band has built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in a deep pocket funk party-like atmosphere. The Soul Rebels continue to chart new territory as they feature in major films, tour globally, and combine topnotch musicianship with songs that celebrate dancing, life, funk and soul.Most recently The Soul Rebels wrapped up recording for their upcoming fall 2019 album, Poetry in Motion. The album will put the band front and center and showcase the wide breadth  of  musical  genres  and  special  collaborations  that  have  come  to  identify  the musically chameleon-like band.

Sunrisa Disco was created circa. 2019 by a collective of NYC-based DJs that worked at Rough Trade. They host a monthly radio show selecting disco, funk, jazz, reggae, and beyond on Soho Radio alongside a roster of presenters including the likes of DJ Norman Jay MBE, Coldcut and Ninja Tune’s Jon More, Stuart Baker of Soul Jazz Records, Metronomy’s Anna Prior, and many more.

The collective found their footing in the New York City nightlife through a multitude of DJ sets all across the city from TV Eye to Soho Grand, and has now found a home at Brooklyn Bowl where it holds a monthly late night party called Sunrisa Shake.

Nodded by Time Out NY as one of the best rooftop parties during its run at The Sultan Room, the monthly all night dancing event will be reinstated in the summer 2022 on the rooftop of Our Wicked Lady.
