[as advertised]
Founded In 1998 by legendary promoter, DJ and entrepreneur DJ Seoul, Direct Drive paved the way for other generations of promoters and helped kickstart the career of many DJs worldwide.
Direct Drive parties were known for their mix of vibes, DJs ability to tell a story and break new hits records while preserving the culture and always paying respect to the classics.
***[side note- What really separated direct drive from the other dnb nights, >mainly Konkrete Jungle< , was no MC. They advertised the night this way. It was more liquid and Konkrete Jungle was harder, darker, and lots of MCs. The 2 nights occupied different spaces so it was really nice to have the diverse takes on the dnb.]
For their first return event, they have enlisted Direct Drive generals The Burner Brothers alongside NY mainstays, DJ Inna K, Lokshot, newcomer from London DJ Dynamic and World of Drum and Bass MC Digga BruckShot

The review-
I've been going to direct drive since 2000 and this is really one of the 2 weekly nights that "was nyc dnb". And when I saw it was free, close to my house and the legendary Burner Brothers were playing I had to go. We got to the venue Title around 12 ish…
Entering the space was like the most basement party you could go to. You walk down like 2 stories into a deep basement club....
sooo I really came out to see the Burner Brothers and anything else would be a plus... I didn't even know who else was playing [ :( ] and like just getting there, walking down the stairs, the DJ is killing it, fucking killing it... and did not stop killing it until sometime after she left the stage. I've been to 100's of dnb shows and I must say Inna K was DOPE... start to finish. I would try to leave the room to the bar [which was hooked up to the other room so u could hear the DJ] and I would have to keep running back for some track I had not heard b4 or just a great set... Burner Brothers
