Crown Ruler + Tribe Soundsystem pres. Timmy Regisford (NYC / The Shelter)

Crown Ruler & Tribe Sound System present Timmy Regisford (NYC / Club Shelter) Following our recent warehouse session with Kai Alcé & Lovie, Crown Ruler and Tribe Sound System reunite, this time in conjunction with In The Moment Radio as part of "The Evelyn Reimagined" - a month-long September series exploring dance, sound and community.
