My biweekly residency at Sycamore in Ditmas Park is back for 2026 with a new name and the same great vibes. Since 2024 I’ve been spinning nothing but wax there, so I made it official: every 1st, 3rd and 5th Friday T.G.I. VINYL!

Battle format: Each battle team is made up of 1 dancer, 1 emcee, and 1 beatmaker. After each round [from quarter- to semi-finals], category winners are reshuffled into new teams, except for the final round, when the winning team is crowned as a unit.

Rounds are themed/game-based.

DJ sets before and after battles.

No open prelims; all battle participants are invite-only.

Attendance is open to the public.
