Like seeing the Green Flash in twilight, an extended 6hr set from Jasa and Showerhead is both rare and beautiful 💛

August 16th sees the two enigmatic artists taking over the Runner Up Rooftop showcasing their deep love of music and digging.

Diving into archives, the two will draw from their extensive record collection as well as digital libraries in a continuation of their musical conversation. 

“Murmuring sound narratives through musicing is the best way we know how to navigate the world and ourselves” the duo told us. “We feel that there’s no better time than now to indulge in the world of art making through community” and we agree, so why not come have a cheeky margarita about it 🤔

Free entry till late!
Just try name that sound

This month’s featured artist is Jessups 🎶

His top record pick? “Around” by Noir and Haze, specifically the Solomon Vox remix. Anyone who has spent time with Jesse knows how much he loves this track. It never gets old, with every element working together perfectly to create a song that suits any occasion, whether it’s day or night, work or play.

Jesse, who DJs under the name Jessups, has been immersed in music from a young age, playing both drums and saxophone. With jazz as a lifelong influence and a growing love for deep grooves and heavy basslines, he found his way into DJing after discovering his uncle’s old collection of house music CDs. Since then, he’s developed a sound that’s deeply personal, shaped by a passion for sharing music and creating sets that resonate with others.
