DJ Sets: Out N Bad

Out N Bad creates electrifying, empowering experiences that center Queer Caribbean people, music, cuisine, and culture – bringing inclusive, fierce, unapologetic Caribbean bashments and Queer Caribbean joy to NYC and a global stage. They’re committed to crafting authentic experiences that celebrate their rich heritage and address the lack of representation for the Caribbean community in the broader queer scene—creating spaces where everyone, whether they claim Caribbean roots or simply revel in the culture, feels at home.
