For our final DM Presents shows we focused on rhythm and raw talent. A sense of community was a part of every performance. PawPaw Rod brought friends from his home in Oklahoma, and They Hate Change performed in the middle of the crowd. Over at the Bowery Ballroom, we hit capacity, and fans of NNAMDÏ and Binki showed out and came in their freshest fits.
NNAMDÏ, Binki
Bowery Ballroom

If the show starts at 7pm, what time are you lining up? NNAMDÏ and Binki fans gave it 5 hours just to be safe. Once doors opened, the legendary Bowery Ballroom filled up immediately. DJ Talia Goddess got the crowd going before NNAMDÏ got on stage and captivated the room with a unique blend of indie rock, jazz, and hip-hop. Being his first ever with a live band, it was a special night for Binki and fans alike. He kept moving to his infectious electronic pop.

“I think people should get as freaky as they can possibly get.”—NNAMDÏ

At our Herald Square store, a familiar face opened the show—singer-songwriter and producer, KeiyaA from last year's installment of Celebrating Black Voices. They Hate Change took the spotlight after with their "Gulf Coast sound." The duo, leapt into the crowd and performed alongside them. The hype continued as PawPaw Rod took the stage with a mix of soul and hip-hop.

“Music might be, sometimes the only thing you have to lean on.”— They Hate Change
