Sober sweaty dance party with Wander

Wander will kick off the this new year with the first of their Sober Sweaty Dance Parties — DJ BFG spins a high-energy dance in a community with joy, inclusivity and unbeatable beats to get a crowd moving.

DJ BFG, a.k.a. Gabby Squailia, has been spinning professionally for twenty years now. ‘I got my start in New York City,’ she says, ‘during the first year of Scratch DJ Academy’s top-notch DJ training program. I soon began a weekly residency at Fatty’s Cafe in Astoria, where I got my name.’

‘Seamless transitions are my specialty, and I’m a consummate crowd-reader with a solid handle on groups of diverse ages and backgrounds. My taste in music is eclectic and upbeat, and I prefer to blend genres while keeping the groove in the pocket. As far as genres go, if you dig it, I can work with it.’
