When the sun disappears beneath New York’s horizon, everything changes. The music hits more powerfully. Gluteus movement becomes intimately melodic. Complexions embrace the neon luminescence. MDMA feels.

Sounds of dreadlocks and beaded braids swirling amongst pyrotechnics. A formidable bond is formed with the syncopation. Sensational auras created by the collective energy. Disk jockey leading the waves. Unapologetic afros.

Gorgeous People of Color drenched in black moonlight casted off the waters of Seaport District. A harmonious community molding global culture of dance, fashion, and music. The day party that invented FOMO. Everyday People.

Co-founder DJ Moma on the 1’s and 2’s. Spinning for 3K POC at Pier 17.

Florescence and mean muggin’. Freestyle choreography. Familiar beats.

Shernita and her EP dancers keep the fire blazing as the night flows.

Asses shake. Head’s twerk. Skirts rise. Liquor pours. Bubbles blowing.

DJ Kahlil, backdropped by Brooklyn Bridge. Dancers flooding the stage.

Intentional motion blur. A relentless out-of-body connection to the beat.

The DJ Moma Sound

It never gets old. Elsewhere. Knockdown Center. Industry City. The Brooklyn Mirage. The Rooftop at Pier 17. Le Bain. Wynwood Marketplace. Nowadays. Of all the venues I have experienced Everyday People, each one is so different.

What remains consistent is the production value and crowd that shows up. Everyday People knows how to organize an event. Following a decade of day parties, the ticket holders now curate themselves. A strong community.

I am fortunate to be a part of Everyday People, documenting stunning moments for brand history. Despite EP’s year-long global schedule, each moment exists only once. Thank you Elliott Ashby for inviting me to the game.
