ZERO CHILL 2025  (ELECTRICAL SURGERY)

"These spaces are sacred." The Brooklyn trio reflect on 12 years of throwing parties that celebrate New York's queer community of colour.

New York nightlife has a truly unique ecosystem. And for the last 12 years, the art collective Papi Juice has been right at the center of it, hosting parties, workshops, artist residencies, performances and exhibitions that affirm and celebrate the lives of queer and trans people of colour. 

In this RA Exchange recorded during Pride Weekend in Brooklyn, reviews editor Kiana Mickles sits down with the Papi Juice trio—Mohammed, Adam and Oscar—to talk about intersectionality and how they've maintained their principles and political integrity by continuing to put their community first. The DJs and multimedia artists have been active in leading fundraisers for Black trans organisations and archiving queer nightlife in Brooklyn. They recently 
received an award from the City Council of New York for their contributions to culture and have partnered with institutions like The Brooklyn Museum, MoMA PS1, El Museo del Barrio, Creative Time, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art.

In this interview, Mohammed, Adam and Oscar reflect on meeting for the first time, navigating New York's cabaret laws, creating a distinct visual identity, learning to work through internal conflict and differences in taste, and working towards a shared vision across many years.

3-hour opening set recorded live in a Brooklyn warehouse

journey through a very soft + sentimental introduction, winding into dubby breakbeats before warming up some 00’s NYC tribal house. the second half of the set unfolds into contemporary club and hits a fever pitch with percussive latin bass & hard drum

A multidisciplinary artist and DJ, Alexis De La Rosa ( @delabae ) weaves his Dominican roots and deep love for electronic music into sets that transcend genre and expectation. Raised in the cultural crossroads of NYC, Alexis’ sound is a fusion of house, techno, and Caribbean rhythms—each track a celebration of movement, identity, and liberation.

Patito (they/them/dog) - aka Chancleta - is a RGV born, Philadelphia based dj, event organizer, dance hound, and 6th borough representative in New York (more often than not it seems). With a start co-founding the late latinx techno collective Lindo and later involvement & residency at the PHL underground gem Void, their sound bounces between genres readily while at the root always returning to latin sounds and the groovier side of the line where house and techno meet m’dahling.

No joke, @shadysnack is what the Berlin House scene needed more of. With sonic roots firmly anchored in Soul, Funk, and Gospel, she returns House to its origins as Black heritage beat resistance. This is House that sways and rocks you into a trance-inducing state of hands-up-in-the-air joy and fierceness. Add to this her natural flair for arranging intensity and radiant booth presence, and Shadysnack will have any room blossom from the moment she steps in. So watch out for this special one! Groove yourself in and witness excellence in the making. Recorded at Lecken Tutti Frutti edition at OXI on 17.8.25.
