The DJs Wyllys has selected for the night have been causing quite the buzz lately, and he holds them in the utmost esteem. Mr Bonkerz has been a staple in the DC scene for years now representing his unique take on disco in all it's forms. Speakerbot's mix series "Digital Fantasies" are catching fire and his bookings are proof of that. ConnetiCON, known to the world as Kyle Roberge, has been getting some amazing bookings this year beside Tiger and Woods and Orchard Lounge with no signs of slowing. These selectah's round out an amazing night of music in New York City!The New York Hustler Ensemble started as an experiment conducted by Wade Ellis Wilby, better known to us as Wyllys. He felt that disco, being at a slower pace, had more room in the measure for a live band to create inside of, to give tracks that normally wouldn't move a dance floor some much needed emphasis and texture.
Now, 3 years down the road the Hustler Ensemble has quite the All-Star list of alumni including Brendan Bayliss, Joel Cummins, Brock Butler, Scott Metzger, Eddie Roberts, Todd Stoops, and Chris Michetti to name just a few. Other than Jam Cruise, this could be one of your last chances to see Wyllys & The New York Hustler Ensemble. The group has plans to go on live hiatus following Jam Cruise to focus on their first full length LP of originals. Stay Tuned!
