DJ Kelly Green is a force. A fierce and treasured force in New Orleans nightlife. Wether she's pulling up to the function in a green lowrider, setting the vibes at the chicest hotel lobbies, or turning the best nightclubs all the way out, she's doing it with grace, style, skill, and confidence. A musician since the age of 6, she started with piano and later played violin and cello in the orchestra for 12 years. She turned to DJing at age 16, using turntables as another instrument to spread her love and heart to dance floors everywhere. Needless to say we love Kelly Green and we're so excited to share this absolutely gorgeous Mixtape with you.

We are BLESSED to play host to the fierce Madison Moore this Saturday at Gimme A Reason. Madison is an author, professor, scholar, and DJ from Los Angeles. Gimme A Reason will serve as the Pt. 2 of Madison’s session at the American Studies Association conference, closing the gap between theory and practice after a panel discussion led by Madison and joined by Bouffant Bouffant and a gathering of artists, scholars, activists, and producers about q***r nightlife, titled Party Favors: Speed, Intensity, and Q***r Clubbing Sensations. Don’t miss her saucy, cunty brand of techno this Saturday at Poorboys.

When we heard David Elimelech was hopping the pond from Berlin to the states, we had to drag him down to Poorboys. He has a passion for finding absolute banging gems in the classic House realm that you’ve never heard before and he’s an ace at lacing them together in a way that sets your body and soul on fire. He’s a regular selector at Panorama bar/Berghain as well as all the best clubs in Berlin and abroad. Let’s show him that New Orleans swamp magic this Saturday at Poorboys!

DOUBLE FEATURE! This month we’re coming in hot with a double whammy. Madison Moore from her new home in LA is a gender studies professor, celebrated author, and absolutely fierce music selectors. Expect SEVERITY, expect RANGE. David Elimelech is hopping the pond from Berlin by way of Tel Aviv. A regular selector at Infamous Panorama Bar/Berghain, David has the most special touch for rare gems in the classic Chicago, Detroit, New York house realm and beyond. It’s giving world class to the max down here in the swamps and we can’t wait! 🤍

Ephemera is one of our favorite DJs in New Orleans. A deep and wide range from gritty techno to cheeky bangers, she’s the first person to ever play over 140BPM at Gimme A Reason, and did it flawlessly. We’re super excited to have her on the witching hours tomorrow night at Poorboys.

10/12/2022

Feeling lucky today to have a space we can all cut loose and feel free, together. A space is one thing but the energy, albeit unhinged and borderline feral, is always so beautiful. Thanks to everyone for showing up with the best intention and a healthy ambition to cut loose at Gimme A Reason. See ya’ll on the dance floor this Saturday.

Handmade. Tresor Berlin Resident since 2009. Same Bi***es Berlin Resident since 2014. With a deep passion for Detroit techno and Chicago house, he delivers you punchy, jacking, acidic, groove EVERY TIME. The real deal with a humble demeanor, we can’t not be endlessly charmed by Handmade. We’re lucky he’s making the jaunt down south while on his US tour. Really not to be missed New Orleans. This Saturday at Poorboys.

09/29/2022

An integral part of Tresor’s resident team in Berlin as well as the infamous Same Bi***es party, Handmade is the real deal. From deep Detroit techno to stabby, Jacky Chicago House he’s proven to be able to bust any dance floor wide open. This one is sure to be extra special and super ragey. Ephemera and Bouffant Bouffant on the alley-oop, behind the back. Let’s show him that New Orleans magic. October 15.

DJ timetable for tonight! Beyond excited to host Joe Delon all the way from Lisbon, Portugal. A frequent at our favorite clubs across Europe and beyond and label boss at Welt Discos, tonight is sure to be a treat. Local bad girls club chair holders Bouffant Bouffant and Phlegm running it as well.

09/22/2022

Phlegm never doesn’t deliver, but we’ve been especially excited about the energy they bring on that goblin mode 3AM-5AM witching hour tip lately. They’ll been selecting tunes right after Joe Delon this Saturday at Poorboys.

Joe Delon is a DJ, label owner, radio host and writer based in Lisbon.
Joe’s greatest satisfaction as a DJ comes from linking the elements of dance music’s past – disco breaks, Chicago basslines, the funk of electro and the bittersweet touch of Italo – with the best of its vivid present, to create moments of pure pop catharsis. Agnostic about genre and evangelical about anything that moves him, Joe has established a reputation for being singularly, defiantly himself.
This honest approach, cultivated through residencies at Spaced and Dust Off, has brought Joe to prime-time slots at Berghain/Panorama Bar, The Pickle Factory, Closer, Renate, K4 and Dimensions Festival. He’s also a regular at q***r parties, such as Adonis, Pump- ing Velvet, Honcho, Kiss Me Again and El Cuerpo Del Disco.
Welt Discos, Joe’s label, is a platform for music that’s playfully serious and seriously playful. Alongside vinyl releases by friends and other artists he admires, the label has also become home to a series of one-off digital releases raising money for charitable organisations.
We can’t wait to host Joe this Saturday for Gimme A Reason at a Poorboys!

09/07/2022

We coming home and we coming in hot! Super special guest later this month from Lisbon, Portugal, Welt Disco’s Joe Delon. Giving you disco breaks for your nerves, sleazy Chicago bass lines, electro breaks, and soaring Italo, Joe effortlessly links these vivid elements to take dance floors across the globe to ecstatic catharsis. We’re all in for a real treat. Support from myself and my babe Phlegm. Save the date: September 24.

Bad Behavior is a New Orleans babe by way of Washington DC. He's a dance-floor ju**ie and deep music digger finding his comfort zone in the spaces between genres, searching for those hip movers and brain tinglers. His curiosity is exemplified wonderfully in his incredible mixtape offering. He's a prime example of the amazing dance music talent that lays their head in New Orleans and we're thrilled to play host to this absolute treat of a mix. Enjoy
