Video: ?uestlove Live At The Boiler Room NYC [Full 1-Hr DJ Set]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

If you were in attendence for ?uestlove's DJ set at the recent RBMA/Brainfeeder session at The Boiler Room in NYC you already know (I already know, for the record). Flying Lotus' set mighta been the best balance between move-ability and brainfood and Flatbush Zombies definitely won the most-likely-to-start-a-riot award. But ?uesto's all-drums, all-J-Dilla-inspired set was easily the most filling, stuffing the assembled brains with donut after donut of the sprinkliest kind. If you were not in attendance, you have been saved by the magic of the internet as the entire hour-long set is now viewable over the you-tubes so you can listen and rewind at your leisure to analyze the sprinkles and cross-reference with your iTunes library and previous ?uestlove sets of Dilla goodies for maximum nerdification. A few more notes on what you're going to see/hear: yes, I believe that is Gaslamp Killer running the mic. And no, that is not Joey Bada$$ tailgating the turntables and nodding his head so tuff that he is in danger of knocking the needle off the record with the brim of his snapback (although he is there somewhere). We recommend you remove your hat before you play and get to nodding, too.
