This is the last Déjà Vu of the year! Friday November 19 starting at 10PM.
This party has been great every month and to finish off this year's residency at Our Wicked Lady we will close with 3 wicked ladies. Yas Meen Selectress, Madame Vacile and Chika Sideral will be sharing worldly tunes that would warm up any cold night. We will be in the main room earlier in the evening and we will make our move to the rooftop later in the night. Free party!
Yas Meen Selectress
Yas Meen is an Egyptian DJ based in NYC spinning North African music, from Egyptian 80's Pop to Raï and Gnawa. Mixed with a hint of modern electronic sounds, her live sets also include occasional touches of Arabic Disco, House, Dub, Afrobeat and Cumbia music.
Madame Vacile
Verónica Villegas aka MADAME VACILE is a top music selectress, DJ and cultural activist currently based in Brooklyn, NY. She got started in the musical world with the research of traditional sounds of champeta culture, diving into those rhythms deeply rooted in Kenia, Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique among other African nations. She has used all those sounds and combined it with the Caribbean sabrosura of the Colombian coast to bring a truly unique style of DJ performance that reflects the power of nightlife as a place of joy and resistance.

Lia Camile
Deja Vu started as an excuse to have a birthday party where Lia could ensure the music would be good. She called on her pals at Our Wicked Lady who let her bring in two of her favorite selectors Adrian is Hungry and Prince of Queens, who kept everyone dancing all night. It went so well that Lia and Adrian have been back every month (minus a pandemic hiatus) bringing a rotation of their favorite DJs to run the dancefloor. A combination of loving live music and wanting to see Latinx artists get more recognition and opportunities across cultural spaces turned into a 12-year career producing and programming in the arts for Lia with that desire at the center, whether it be as the Executive Producer of Celebrate Brooklyn! Or throwing intimate shows across Brooklyn for up-and-coming artists you didn’t know you loved. If you can’t find her, check the dance floor.
Adrian is Hungry
Adrian is Hungry has been collecting and sharing vintage afro-rooted music for the past 5 years in New York City. Tropical sounds from Colombia, New York, the Antilles, Venezuela, Peru, Africa, and more with an emphasis on danceable tunes that hit a nostalgia chord and bring you back to dancing with your tia at a family house party.
A traveler and cultural anthropologist at heart, he’s been exploring and rediscovering his cultural identity through music research and curation, creating spaces in Brooklyn to bring this sound back into the Barrio.
