The desk, not a follow list

Every name here is already a reason a door, a night, or a search exists. Open it in the city first. Their page is only for a date that moved.

The eight seats and what each one may change

Add a place from this phone

There is no login and no shared back office. A place you add here stays on this phone and shows up in Explore. The public list changes when you send a page or a name and I put it in the catalog.

Hip-hop, bounce, reggae, house, and R&B are tagged only when the page or a posted night says so. A DJ with no tag is still working. We do not guess the genre.

Eating with Cait

@eatingwithcaitt

House · Instagram

Pure Intentions

@pure_intentions___

House-music day parties and pool events, often at The Maidstone, with a deep bench of local DJs. This is the closest weekly thing to an EDM room. Touring EDM names show up for Carnival and festivals. They are not a standing Tuesday.

Hip-hop · Clubs, Saints & Pelicans, festivals

DJ Raj Smoove

DJ Raj Smoove

A New Orleans hip-hop institution. He came up in the Cash Money era, DJs the Saints and the Pelicans, plays Jazz Fest and Essence, and throws Smoove Fest. If a big local weekend has a definitive set, his name is usually on it.

Bounce · Bounce sets & radio

DJ Poppa

DJ Poppa

Bounce is the city's dance music, and Poppa is one of the names people actually show up for. Search the week's flyers. The most-shared dance videos are usually a club, a second line, or a day party — not a hotel playlist.

Radio & web

WWOZ Live Wire

90.7 FM

The nightly music calendar and the second-line route. More useful than any influencer when the question is 'who is playing tonight, and where does the parade start.'

What a good trip actually is

  • One neighborhood a day. The streetcar is the bridge, not a dare.
  • One serious meal, one thing outside, one room with a band. That is a full day.
  • Bourbon is a block you visit, not a neighborhood you live in.
  • If a Sunday second line is out, let it replace the museum. You can see a museum in any city.
  • Call the restaurant. Monday is a day off for half the kitchens you wanted.
