What if David Mancuso’s loft was still alive and well-- a space for a diverse crowd to dance late into the night to a music selection equally as diverse and sexy? That’s what an Uncle Jesse party is but for the millennials and Gen-Zs, where ABBA and Donna Summer rule supreme. A tastemakers affair where both music snobs and the folks-who-just-wanna-have-fun can both get off on the dance floor.

Acclaimed music producer and filmmaker, Jesse Lauter (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Scarlett Johansson, Leon Russell, Little Feat), is also a DJ. Better known as Uncle Jesse when he’s behind the tables, his show is a true "get-down" experience combined with high-level musical curation. Doin' his thing on the NYC club circuit for over a decade, Jesse spins a DISCO/FUNK/SOUL/ROCK dance party of the next order. He’s a regular at the Brooklyn Bowl and has played major music festivals like Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. He’s opened for George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Vulfpeck, Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), Neal Francis, has been the curator for esteemed fashion designer Billy Reid’s parties, and was handpicked to spin the coveted late-night slots at the last four Phish Riviera Maya getaways. An Uncle Jesse party is like none other — a mix of artful curation & music education with an energized dance party not to be missed...
