Oscar & Vashtie, Soho NYC 2004
In the Summer of 2006, best friends Vashtie and Oscar did what they always did…discussed fun and creative ideas while traipsing about New York. Only, one day was entirely different, which ultimately became the day that 1992 was born. After having a long conversation about the New York Party Scene and how it just wasn’t fun, Vashtie and Oscar decided to start their own thing…enter, 1992. They were over all the parties they were attending; from Fashion Week Shindigs to Downtown Jumpoffs, all of them played music we didn’t want to hear and none of them ever felt welcoming, despite the fact that we knew so many of the hosts of these events.

1992 was born with the idea in mind, that we would have a place where everyone was welcome and we would play music from the era that we loved – the 90’s! Check the timeline of thangs that 1992 has done!

Yes, you read that correctly. In order to put on a public event, you need a permit from the city and that needs to be requested months in advance. Thanks to our friend Neal Santos for giving us this idea. He lived on lived on Eldridge Street in the Lower East Side, and every Sunday the street was closed off for leather and fur vendors to pull their racks onto the street and make business. He had the idea to put his big speakers on the fire escape and we could put on a show…so…we did. We hired double dutch girls and asked friends to make and sell food. It was incredible!!!

OCTOBER 2007
Randomly, we got an email from this French crew called Pain O’ Chokolat, who later went on to do Pigalle & Le Pompon, etc and now are our dear friends. They were interested in booking us in Paris and Amsterdam and of course we were more than down. We took a fun trip to Paris and DJ’ed in Club Paris Paris and then in Amsterdam!

We had a Photo Booth which was amazing. BUT, you should all know that photo booths these days are digital and while a print copy is chugged out – a digital copy is saved to a disk that clients get to keep. I saw some crazy things on that CD ROM of people I knew kissing some other people I knew. Hahaha. Tisk tisk.

To launch their exciting collaboration with Opening Ceremony, our friends at Pegleg asked us to do a party. It involved DJ’s Dances With White Girls, Shayne of Hood By Air and DJ Kingdom and it was insane. The night also started with dinner at Lucky Strike and nothing can beat dinner from that place!

For Opening Ceremony’s 10 Year Anniversary, they decided to honor New York City Nightlife with a rave at Webster Hall. Every room was occupied by all the hottest parties in NYC; The Smiths, The Misshapes, Ghetto Gothik and 1992! Woo hoo. It was the best party I’ve been to in the last 10 years!
