Ring the bell, school’s in, suckaz! The latest episode of GT is also the first installment of TENURE TRAX, an occasional series examining dance music in New York from the vantage of scene participants – not only DJs but also venue owners, party throwers, record sellers – who played a key role in its development. Guests in this series share their stories while also presenting records drawn from their experience in NYC nightlife. 

Cecily is the Midwest partygoer-turned-New York DJ who founded Starvue: a tiny, Loft-inspired dance floor that helped shift the NYC nightlife center of gravity to Bushwick (of all places). How did this self-described “hold my hair” girl become the proprietor of one of Brooklyn’s most venerated DIY spaces? Find out as you groove to her all-vinyl mix of foundational disco edits, Chicago house classics and, of course, Gotham club bangers from both sides of the East River. No late registration for this one! Tune in tonight or listen now at the link in our bio.
