NYC late-night mix

1. DJ Herbert Holler from the Freedom party, Fridays at (Le) Poisson Rouge
Womack and Womack, "Baby I'm Scared of You”

“We usually close Freedom every week with this one. My personal favorite classic tune. It's the piece de resistance of songs about love and relationships and the fury of such. It rises above everything, and everyone who's left on our dance floor dances to this thing: thug, pop dork, hipster or that girl that's been sitting by herself in the corner, not having a good time, resting her head on her hand.”

2. Justin Carter from the Mister Saturday Night parties
Al Jarreau, “Roof Garden”

“My dad played this album when I was a kid. A couple years back, he gave me a lot of his vinyl. I put it on for nostalgia's sake and fell in love with this song again. It was the one I always wanted him to play over and over. It's perfect for ending the night on a high note—horns, breakdowns, a false ending and scatting. Does anybody want go waltzin' in the garden?

3. Dave Q, dubstep doyen from the Dub War party
Billy Paul, “Me and Mrs. Jones”

4. DB, NYC drum ’n' bass impresario from the Breakbeat Science crew, and rave-era survivor via the early '90s NASA parties
Lynyrd Skynyrd, “Freebird”

5. Citizen Kane, runs the Disques Sinthomme and Ghost Town labels, and hosts a party named "Saturdays at Von with Citizen Kane"
"Fly Into this Night," Gino Vanelli

6. Runaway's Marcos Cabral
“Rhythm & Sound, Best Friend”

“’Best Friend’ features the female talent Love Joy, hauntingly singing about her jaded love triangle. After a long night of techno, house, and disco, this records still maintains somewhat of the same groove, but leaves the listener wide open and tension free.”
