Les The DJ at Allegory & FFFRRR

Tomorrow is September 1st, which also happens to be the first Friday of the month! I’ll be playing 45s (and maybe one or two 33-speed 7”s) at my favorite monthly residency! Allegory is hidden behind a nondescript door at Eaton Hotel’s Radical Library. My set is from 9PM-2AM. Come say hi / bring me a snack, thanks🍸🍹⁣

Also, DeeJayFade has invited me to the debut of his new raid train “FFFRRR 45s Raid Train”! Tune in! I’m on from 1-2PM ET - twitch.tv/Les_The_DJ 📺

Allegory + PRESENT TENSE

Tonight, I'll be playing records all night at Allegory with new music from my travels. They’ve got fancy cocktails, mocktails and super nice bartenders. Needle drops at 10PM.
