May weather has been playing with us but the Saturday of Eggs Over was an indication of how y’all start to act when the sun comes out. The real winners are the people who come for the first seating, eat brunch and party for the rest of it.
Another observation. ‘Act Up’ by City Girls + champagne consumption = 2019 summer brunch energy.

We took over the lobby of the Columbus Theatre. Some of y’all came three piece suited, some of y’all came tracksuit cozy. Still mindblown at the ‘Drive Slow’ edit that Wattz played.

In April, we took over both floors of Good Life for CRIB, a party we like to call a double decker ting aka two of our parties in one building on the same night. So much love to our guest DJs, Slick Vick + Towfu for keeping the R&B energy proper in the basement.
Boston always shows out in a major way. It’s also incredible to see how much RI family pulls up too.
We’ll be back in Boston in July but sure we’ll catch y’all at the Wave or an All You Can Eat function before then.

Smiling beautiful people! One thing that brings joy to us is looking back at photos after events and appreciating y’all. For our April installment of Luv U Better, we had the Boston family, DJ Real P, come and steer the ship. Staying true to the mood he set with his selections for his updates to this month’s Luv U Better playlist, P gave us a little bit of everything.
Thank you to our team for holding things down in the super clutch. Dip was on the lollipops this month, Rae + Humberto the dynamic duo as always, Tee, Mona + Erinn on the floor <3

We partnered with Bryant University’s Student Programming Board + the PwC Center for Diversity and Inclusion to present the Business of Art Panel. Our goal was to show college students and our peers in the New England creative community examples of people working in the music industry who used their time and opportunities in college to transition to working full time in the music industry.
For our conversation, we had the hometown family Max October (Spotify, Senior Hip Hop Editor), Ramya Velury (Artist Manager, EQT), moderated by music journalist, Emmanuel Maduakolam. It was dope to see their willingness to share their experiences and knowledge with the next generation of creatives who aspire to work in the music and entertainment industry.

It feels like forever since our last Bounce House. For the first one of 2019, we took the energy to the basement of 121 Washington Street in Downtown Providence. We legit haven’t been to a party down there since we linked up with the Music Please for our spread love party a few years ago.
WHERE’S NASTY and Beato played b2b while y’all resurrected one of our favorite places + parties. Above are a few beautiful faces captured by Bilindoff
Bounce House will be back soon. We promise.
Over the past few years, the sneaker community worldwide has been celebrating 3/26 as Air Max Day. After attending events to celebrate over the last few years, we wanted to bring something back home to add to the festivities. This year, on March 25th, we decided to celebrate AIR MAX EVE, with a link-up at Machines With Magnets and the release of a commemorative zine featuring some Air Max stories from some friends of ours.
Above are some the kicks people wore to the festivities, captured on film by Ally Thatcher.
Not gonna lie, going into this night we were a little stressed. Jay’s (yep! WHERE’S NASTY) iTunes library erased earlier in the day. Leading up into the set up of the party he was trying to recover it so we called upon our family Beato to come set things off while we got that figured out. Like a miracle, a few minutes into the party starting Jay was able to recover his ALL of his music.
In the midst of some nervousness, we got a pop-up Beato DJ set, a reason to drink a daiquiri or two and our March dosage our R&B flavor.

Throughout the last year, we’ve been linking up with our friends from Flaneur and House Party Vibes to have a monthly function where you’re going to dance your ass off to some bachata, salsa, merengue, dembow and everything under the Latin sun.
In February, along with resident DJ, Norlan, we had our family DJ Dymand come bless a guest set. Somehow, someway the platano is always gone by end of the party.

Some punk ass snow really couldn’t scare us away from brunching. It’s still bizarre that we’re days away from Spring and mother nature is hitting us like this but champagne can cure most things. For our March installment of Eggs Over at Troop, we brought out DJ Slick Vick to play a guest set — she killed it!
Would also like to note that pictures look 100% better when you’re holding a bottle of champagne. Y’all are mad rich.

Since the first year of stay silent (Beautiful Silence for all the true day ones), Eggs Over has always been a staple. It’s taken many shapes and forms but two things have stayed consistent — the love for breakfast + music. Our latest installment of Eggs Over was at Troop in Providence and everything just felt right. The mimosas flowed, the chicken sandwich smacked and y’all stayed on the dance floor until it was dinner time.
