NYC, I felt you last night.

The launch of ma++er at Refuge was everything I hoped it could be and more.
A room full of energy, intention, and people truly present with each other.

Celebrating my birthday in that moment made it even more special.

After all these years, nothing means more to me than sharing a dance floor with this city.

Thank you for the love NY.
This is just the beginning.

A new chapter begins at Refuge with ma++er.

We’ll also be celebrating my birthday.
Right where I belong. In the booth with NYC.

A first look at the new studio… and my girl on the cover of today.
Couldn’t be more proud of her and the incredible team behind our beautiful home. ✨💫

It feels like NYC is ready to return to what really matters in nightlife.

The music.
The culture.
The community.

Introducing my new monthly residency: ma++er.

Matter is what happens when a room decides to be present. When strangers feel connected. When the dance floor becomes more than a place — it becomes a moment we build together.

The “+” is that charge. Positivity. Inclusivity. A shared experience.

No spectacle. No distraction. Just people, sound, and the space between us.

Sunrise hits different on the Terrace. Thank you Miami ✨💫

He’s 23.
And somehow I’m still catching up to the man he’s becoming.

Watching you grow into your own has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Not just as your father, but as a man. You move with heart. You think for yourself. You stand in your truth, and I’m proud of the man you’re becoming.

Seeing you step into music, not because it’s mine but because it’s yours… it’s a different kind of pride. You’re not following my footsteps. You’re carving your own path with the same fire, the same curiosity, the same respect for the craft. That’s all I could ever hope for.

You’ve grown into a strong, thoughtful, grounded young man. I’m proud of your talent. But I’m even more proud of your character.

Happy birthday, my boy. I love you so much and I’ll never stop telling you how proud I am.

Where do I begin. As I was playing yesterday, all I could think was, this is the truth. This room represents who I am as a DJ. This is the culture as I know it and where I belong. It felt fully aligned. Free. Honest. Just the music and your collective vibes. Grateful to finally have a space in NY like Refuge, that allows that kind of freedom. Thank you NYC. My deepest love for keeping me locked in for 16+ hours — Respect!

A big thank you to and for the stellar sets. I love walking into a room that’s already vibing.

Thank you to the entire .nyc team for bringing something truly special back to our city.
