@4am-nyc

4AM NYC is a DJ, producer and educator currently based in Queens, NY. They are a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States: comin up through the fashion underworld of London as a teen; finding their way to the musical motherland of NYC as an adult.
   For over a decade they have served dancefloors the world over: New York, London, Pittsburgh, Detroit and beyond - holding down residencies with their own party series Spiritual Mental Physical at beloved NYC night clubs such as Good Room, Le Bain, and Jupiter Disco. Known as a vinyl assassin like no other, they provide nights of music unbound by genre, dedicated to dancers; ruled by a furious and vivid emotional spectrum. Their delivery is always uncompromising and energizing, passionate and sincere.
   This mix for Deep South ATL is an homage to the era of 'Dream House' that continues to inspire 4AM to this day: the heart-racing sweat-dripping soul-quenching delights of that good deep garage house pouring out of NY, NJ, Chicago and Detroit in the late 80's & 90's. All-vinyl, one-take mix. Recorded on x2 Technics 1200s, and an Omnitronic analog rotary mixer.
   2022 sees 4AM NYC self-releasing original productions long overdue, and continuing their community work in the role of talent booker/'Mutha of the House' at Jupiter Disco, Wednesday-thru-Saturday nights.

For Deep South ATL, I leaned into the idea of sharing a Rose Kourts jam session in its purest form. This is a free-flowing power hour of tracks and records I’ve been digging lately. It’s eclectic and funky, full of energy and crunchy, groovy, acid-heavy sounds that get my heart pumping, feet stomping, and stank face going. Especially as a queer Black Southern gal, it is both a pleasure and an honor for me to contribute to this fantastic series. Y’all better turn it up, enjoy!

Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Rose Kourts is a Brooklyn-based DJ, radio host, and organizer, known for blending musical styles and influences with a signature touch and a buoyant energy. Since bursting onto the scene in 2019, she has quickly become a favorite at New York’s most buzzing clubs and parties, electrifying dancefloors and airwaves alike with dynamic selections that reflect deep digging sensibilities and a love and respect for the underground. Rose Kourts' selections bloom into soulful warmth as easily as tense menace, and she wields this versatility with a philosophy of fun that extends to her monthly Lot Radio resident show GEMS, her work as a co-founder of DIY renegade party Sweet Kicks, and as the head of local club night NOW. 

Rose Kourts can regularly be found whipping dancefloors into a sonic frenzy at Brooklyn venues such as BASEMENT, Nowadays, Good Room, Paragon, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Mood Ring, and Public Records. The last year has seen the artist blossom into not only an established mainstay in her local scene, but also a growing presence at clubs and events across and outside of the US. Her travels outside of New York have thrilled dancers and won her a growing international fan base across electronic hubs like Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit and beyond.

The DJ has played festivals such as WIRE Festival, Dweller Festival, Fourth World, Shaker Mountain, Slingshot Festival, London’s Keep Hush, and Boiler Room; storied parties with collectives including WRECKED, The Carry Nation, BOUND, and The Bunker in NYC, LA’s Ostabahnhof, Miami’s Proibidae, Berlin’s Body Language, and Copenhagen’s Fast Forward; and as direct support for legendary artists like Mr. G and Moodymann, DJ Stingray and Helena Hauff, Robert Owens, The Egyptian Lover, and DJ T-1000, among other seminal talents.

'Swangin' by Scan 7 and 'Down South' by Alexis Curshé blend into classic tracks by Detroit and Chicago legends, Robert Hood, K-hand and Paul Johnson. I also added a splash of Acid, a sprinkle of UK Garage and a sneaky Beyonce remix to really make it an essential Honey Bun mix. Big thank you to my friend Karl who extended me studio space and mastering services to get this recorded"

Drawing inspiration from the experiences, history, and creativity of trans women, GORP’s style transcends boundaries, blending genres and sounds into a seamless sonic journey. From pulsating bass lines to infectious melodies, every track selected is a celebration of womanhood and self-expression. This mix is divinely inspired by the process of feminization.

Whether she is spinning at underground parties, Pride events, or mainstream clubs, GORP’s sets are always a testament to the power of music to connect, empower, and uplift. You can find this princess monthly at Mary’s in East Atlanta, or at the hottest party the city has to offer.

"Whenever I revisit my collection of Junior Vasquez and Sound Factory records I uncover new answers to why I do this in the first place. Discovering Junior’s sound was one of the most eye-opening moments for me creatively—not just as a DJ but as a queer person; and from there I unlocked a path to finding my own point of view. I was just born when the Sound Factory opened, so much of my understanding of it is from stories, uploaded videos, cheap tape mixes, posters, and my own fantasies. With all that, the Sound Factory’s myth will always be relevant for me and future generations of queer people. As I see it, the Sound Factory was telling us: the world might be unfair and burning all around us - and inspite of that; we are going to dance and be fabulous"

Bio:
"Maybe it's too soon to tell, but I think I'll look back at 2024 as a defining year for myself as a DJ. I've created connections with people who have helped fuel my growth in ways I can hardly express and for that, I'll be forever thankful. I've also found new avenues to express myself, DJing vinyl being one of them. 

I bought my first record at 14 and have been collecting them ever since. But 2024 was the first year I began mixing and playing them in spaces other than my bedroom. I find my vinyl collection to be the truest expression of my musical tastes because purchasing vinyl requires more intention (and money lol) than purchasing digitally. Which is why when I'm invited to play a mix, I try to make it an all-vinyl one so I can really express myself in ways I'm unable to with my digital selections. 

This mix is a selection of some of my favorite house and techno records I've bought this year. Thank you to the entire Deep South crew for having me, especially to Alexis Curshé, who was the first person to let me mix on a set of turntables".

Blending Indie Dance, Electronica, House, and Techno into a nostalgic yet future-facing “new retro” sound, Neighbor breathes life into clubs and house parties with syncopated, funky rhythms and a deep love for communal joy. A member of the DJ collective “Let’s Dance” with co-founders Mike Bradley and Mark McEwan, they also draw inspiration and guidance from a wide spectrum of local and global artists, including Wild Cherry (ATL), Roi Perez (Berlin), Berth (Toronto), A-Ron (Nashville), Jane Dupree (Nashville), Alfonso Tan (Seattle), and Massimiliano Pagliara (Berlin).



Neighbor began mixing in March 2024 and made their club debut one year later at Georgia Beer Garden in Atlanta. They got their start spinning at house and pool parties for friends—learning to read the room, embrace mistakes, and connect through sound. “My goal is for guests to leave my sets feeling lighter, freer, and more in love with themselves and the people around them,” they say. Whether you’re there to shake loose or slip into a dream state, Neighbor delivers a dance floor experience that feels like both a reunion and a revelation.
