Saturday, September 12th, Dead Letter goes global with Nickodemus, Niara Sterling, Seamus Haji, Omer Mil + birthday celebrations for Willy Soul + Borbón serving up a night of deep grooves, heavy percussion, and dance-floor heat. Nickodemus is a connector of cultures whose sound has helped define modern global club music for nearly three decades. From early NYC club nights and marathon Turntables on the Hudson sessions to festival stages and packed rooms across Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, his sets blend house, disco, and hip-hop with Afro-Latin percussion, Middle Eastern melodies, Caribbean swing, and raw bass pressure. A true turntablist, he mixes with precision, instinct, and decades of experience keeping floors locked in. He's on in Cargo 1:30AM-3:30AM. From 10PM–1:30AM, Willy Soul and Niara Sterling take the reigns. A Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, and MC, Willy connects the dots between everything funky, deep, and psychedelic. His dance-floor storytelling moves fluidly through jazz, Latin, Afro, global underground sounds, minimal grooves, and peak-time cuts. A resident and curator at Good Room, Public Records, Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace, and Xanadu, he’s also shared stages with Kaytranada, Moodymann, Louie Vega, and DJ Harvey. Virginia-born, New York-based Niara Sterling carries that energy across the diaspora, weaving house and soul through massive basslines, melodic flourishes, throbbing kicks, and a distinctly soulful pulse. From Public Records, Good Room, and House of Yes to international festivals and tours with Talib Kweli, her selections are rhythmic, lush, and occasionally otherworldly. Over in the Foyer, Borbón gets things activated from 9PM–11PM. A longtime presence in New York’s underground, the Caracas-born selector and devoted music researcher connects the dots between house, disco, acid, and left-field edits, with past sets at Good Room, Jupiter Disco, Silo, and warehouse parties across the city. From 11PM–1AM, London house heavyweight Seamus Haji steps behind the decks. A DJ, producer, remixer, and founder of Big Love, Seamus began his career at just 16 with a South London sound system before becoming a fixture at Ministry of Sound, Pacha Ibiza, and dance floors around the world. Known for club staples like “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life,” “Weekend,” and “Take Me Away,” his sets blend timeless house, soulful grooves, and serious technical precision. Closing things out from 1AM–3AM is Omer Mil. Born in Paris, raised between France and New York, and shaped by his French and African roots, Omer moves fluidly through deep house, disco, funk, and globally influenced club sounds. A Golden Record resident and co-founder of Vin.yl and An.Art Records, he’s built a reputation for thoughtful selections, deep listening, and serious respect for sound-system culture sharing lineups with DJ Spinna, Karizma, Jovonn, Mike Dunn, JADALAREIGN, and Soul Summit along the way. Venue opens at 5PM | Music at 9PM | 21+ Kitchen open late
