FREEwilliamsburg is giving you a chance to win tickets to the friend hang of the century, but first, a throwback story from Lonely C of Soul Clap:

“I can remember the first time I ever stumbled into the Marcy Hotel. It was the weekend of the infamous MiniTek Festival at Coney Island in NYC which seemed to both succeed and yet epically fail when so many folks didn’t get paid. Regardless, it did bring to NYC so many of the bigger names in the scene at the time. When the festival did fall apart, they all seemed to end up at the Marcy. Imagine everyone who showed up in Coney Island still limping around Brooklyn looking to continue the party. We were doing the same thing, so when we got the address on Marcy Ave. we made our way over and promptly went in the wrong door and up some stairs. Later we’d learn this was Zev’s (of Wolf+Lamb) apartment (or was it S.M. and Etty’s then?) but that night it was another open door to an apartment where a half-smoked joint lay on the kitchen counter. We stole that, lit it up and went back down the stairs to the real entrance, and once we got inside it was like we were on another planet. The place was crawling both in the main hang out room, the 50 person dance floor and then up a couple steps and through a window was this sprawling lot that was just filled. Tons of folks were there, from Richie Hawtin to Martin Buttrich, Konrad Black and then of course Lee, Seth, Shawn, Ryan, Benj and on and on.  I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of others and so many people from the NYC scene.  Anyway, it was nuts! I remember Zev hitting on my then ex-girlfriend who I rolled to the party with, but that seemed to be enough of a reason to strike up conversation.  It was that night we slipped Gadi and Zev our Love Light and Conscious edits that became the first Wolf + Lamb Black and we’ve never turned back!”

If this tale of house parties gone by has you feeling nostalgic, just wait until Sunday afternoon! Margaritas, disco dancing and a sunny afternoon among friends… these are three things you’re sure to find at The Brooklyn Mirage on August 19th when Crew Love brings signature good vibes to Bushwick’s favorite open air venue. Prepare for a very special post-brunch celebration when the legendary record label/collaborative concept (featuring names Soul Clap, Wolf + Lamb, No Regular Play, Nick Monaco just to name a few) descend on the main stage. And if that’s not enough to get you pumped, UK titans Nightmares on Wax will play a rare stateside DJ set too!

I can’t think of a better way to wind summer down, and FREEwilly is making the pot even sweeter with a ticket giveaway! Enter below to win a pair of tickets for you and a friend to attend this one-of-a-kind, feel good bash! Please note, you must be 21 or older to enter and will be required to show your government issued ID at the door.

    I’d LOVE a pair of free tickets for my friend and me. We’ve been going to this party for the past 3 years and it’s really special to us. <3 It will also be her birthday too. You know how those Leos get.
