We’re kicking off Deli Radio's Session project with a night of dancing! Join us for music, snacks, house-infused cachaça, and a good time. DJ sets by @siii_siii, @danielsantos________, and @bookercmitchell.

The experience begins at the deli located in the lobby of Recess, where visitors can peruse and purchase a curated selection of goods from small-scale producers such as Live Loud Foods, East Branch Farms, Gus & Grey, Canaan, and Root Elixir. As visitors enter the listening/recording room located within the main Session space, they are immersed in a sonic environment designed by Daniel Santos, featuring sound from Booker Mitchell of Bridge Street Sound. The spatial and acoustic design encourages thoughtful listening, creating an experience that invites a deep engagement with the present moment.
