For his second residency night of the year, NYC's SPRKLBB is inviting one of the best to do it all the way from London. We are very excited to welcome OK Williams for her Portland debut!
Some words from SPRKLBB about their connection:
One of the gifts of a great DJ is their ability to excite you about their music before they’ve even dropped a track. When I first met OK Williams she did just that. It was at a pre-show dinner in Berlin, and from the way she could make me laugh I knew immediately that she could make me dance. Her frankness, candor, and humor about the world is filled with a sense of music. Talking with OK Williams it’s clear as day; this is an artist with a deeply personal connection to sound.
Many artists choose to play it safe, but OK Williams has held her ground. Her meteoric rise has been paired with a willingness to talk openly about the issues that plague our industry. From social justice, representation, and social media’s corrosive influence on her scene; her opinions are rarely heavy-handed, but show a willingness to state uncomfortable facts.
That honesty and vulnerability comes full circle when you hear OK Williams play. She’s a confident selector with her eyes glued to the floor. She’s on a mission to keep you moving, and her sets are filled with explosive crescendos where style and genre completely melt. It’s in these fearless, freeform moments where she plays music that sounds impossibly new. She’s an artist who whips up resonant, ephemeral moments that could only exist in a club.
I’m thrilled to invite OK Williams to share this magic in Portland for her Process debut.
OK Williams fearlessly keeps the dance floor on its toes.
The London DJ is known for her high energy club sets which masterfully travel through genres - freeform blends of bassy floor busting tracks live alongside blissful synth-heavy house, with techno, jungle and electro also weaved into the mix. Everything Williams plays is intentional and shining with personality.
Her multidimensional radio shows on NTS have garnered a loyal and global following, while her idiosyncratic sound has taken her across the world to festivals like Unsound, Horst and Draaimolen, and made her a regular at Panorama Bar/Berghain and a resident at the New York club Nowadays starting in 2024.
