SUMMARY:Friday Nights with Quiana Parks
DESCRIPTION:Quiana Parks takes over the Lobby of Ace Hotel Brooklyn for a Friday night residency bringing her soulful blends\, high-energy cuts\, and timeless classics to the decks. \nQuiana Parks is a multidisciplinary artist and DJ whose presence behind the booth mirrors the pulpit she grew up around—commanding\, connective\, and spiritually charged\, yet infused with a youthful\, joyful energy that is unmistakably her own. \nBlending open format\, house\, hip hop\, Jersey club\, and timeless classics\, her sets create an atmosphere that feels both sacred and electric—where rhythm becomes release and every room turns into a shared experience.

SUMMARY:Slide Away Music Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:SLIDE AWAY music festival is coming to Brooklyn Paramount on May 15-16! \nThe festival that celebrates itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA genre that lends itself to loudness can still be overheard from its origins in the 1980s. Shoegaze\, Dream Pop\, Ambient\, or whatever you may call it\, has carried itself gracefully through decades while inspiring countless subgenres and infecting all walks of music along the way. \nThe audience reflects back the legacy and continued impact with a feeling of mutual admiration and respect is palpable across generations and identities – no matter the coast. \nSLIDE AWAY is a celebration of the genre and all artists who shape sound in the most unique of ways\, all the while bridging the gap between the diverse cast of boundary pushing mavericks of yesterday with the genre bending savants of now.
