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.

It felt like Valentine’s Day somehow stretched a whole week this year. In the midst of expensive dates, hella Ferrero Rocher and single’s awareness, we wanted to make Luv U Better feel a little bit more special. For one night only, we brought the all R&B flavor to Downtown Providence. Thank you to the NYC family Yoo Q! for coming and blessing us with a guest DJ set. Thank you to Don Julio Tequila for coming to get us happy with some Paloma’s early.

We linked with ‘47 to help launch their HBCU collection by sharing the stories of alumni Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins and Alexis “Lexi With The Curls” Felder. They are both a part of the long history of HBCU alumni that have shaped the pillars and continue to be the driving influence of our culture everyday.
The full ‘47 HBCU Collection is now available here.
For our Luv U Better: Valentine’s Special we have Yoo Q from NYC playing a guest set so we tapped him to put together this month’s playlist too. Stream and subscribe now via Apple Music + Spotify

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.
