Dope Jams x Cosmic Arts New Years Day Ball 01/01/2025
Dope Jams 20th Anniversary at Dope Jams
Those who took an interest in my journey know that my days at Dance Tracks Records—where I was the head curator and co-owner until my departure in 1998 to focus solely on Spiritual Life Music – remain my absolute favorite place to spin music. Actually, it was there that I first came out publicly-not as a DJ, but as a passionate, carefree music-selecting storyteller. The amalgamation of those heydays of artistic freedom allowed fresh ideas to flourish, thus contributing to the production of a plethora of dope music. Being at the helm of this game- changing music emporium gave me 100% freedom to be myself.
Fast forward to February 1, 2005, a time when two young, longtime friends began their quest to fill a void in what was sadly missed as far as record stores in New York City. Setting their sights on Brooklyn, they soon gave birth to Dope Jams-an institution that took to heart embracing my input and experience as the elder statesman. Outside of my monthly Sacred Rhythm events at Club Love, Dope Jams would be the place where I could once again be free, and where actually, nothing less would be permitted.
And so, here we are now, reunited, brought together by the same cause and an unyielding resistance to the status quo, staring the New Year with some dopeness in celebration of 20 years of Dope Jams at Cosmic Arts.
