Party Illegal and Uymami are excited to present a star-studded lineup for the next MOODBOARD party at BOOM Club on Saturday, August 1st!
ALEC LOMAMI ( @alec_lomami )
(NO VISA @novisaparty)
Internationally celebrated DJ, producer, A&R and curator Alec Lomami has spent the last decade turning NO VISA into one of the most dynamic dance parties in the world, taking the vision of no borders and no genres everywhere from New York and New Orleans to Johannesburg and Abidjan. Raised in Kinshasa, Alec Lomami’s sets move through Congolese, Cameroonian, Ivorian, Angolan, and South African club sounds, woven into house, techno, bass, footwork and more. Having shared decks with artists like DJ Lag, Kampire, Bianca Oblivion, Nikki Nair and DJ Marfox, and fresh off DJ Mag naming him an “artist to watch” and Mixmag calling him one of the DJs who defined last year, Alec Lomami is unstoppable.
UYMAMI ( @uymamidj )
(MOODBOARD @moodboard_party)
Durham, NC-based Uymami has built a following with her culture clash discotheque style: heavy percussion, Mediterranean disco, techno and house, Jersey club and freestyle, and nostalgic global pop edits in multiple languages. She’s opened for Reyna Tropical and played at Manhattan Virgin Hotel’s Riff Raff Club as well as Hopscotch Music Festival. She is a co-founder of MOODBOARD with Party Illegal, creator of the DIALED IN daytime pop-up food and music series, and a newly minted resident of femme-forward DJ collective Sad Muse Club.
HOUSEDRESS ( @lisaismyname0 )
(SAD MUSE CLUB @sadmuseclub.nc)
HouseDress (she/her or they/them), a longtime dance floor resident turned DJ, believes in the healing power of a good beat, defining her sets as “bass-heavy sets to shake ass to”. Born in Baltimore but now grateful to call NC home, HouseDress hopes to blend their hometown’s signature style with the influences they have picked up over their years absorbing the NC music scene.
PHARMACIL ( @Pharmacil ) B2B URSOMAJOR ( @ursooomajor )
(T.A.R.E @_t_a_r_e)
Rising stars of the NC scene, Pharmacil and UrsoMajor are part of the T.A.R.E. collective alongside DJ Triple AAA. For Pharmacil, sound is not just a medium: it is the very core of their world. This genre-agnostic selector treats the DJ booth as a space for boundless exploration, pulling from the deeply experimental to the universally classic, the atmospheric ambient to the unapologetically extra, and the intricate percussive to the swelling melodic. DJ UrsoMajor showcases their eclectic taste through genre-bending mixes while maintaining a global philosophy. Keenly aware of the spiritual power of music, each of her sets are crafted with love in hope of sparking joy and a sense of freedom on the dance floor. With her signature complex rhythms and euphoric melodies, UrsoMajor is sure to make you feel the music: expect juke, techno, Jersey club, kuduro, and the unexpected.
