On a crisp evening in early 2025, Harriet’s Lounge at 1Hotel Brooklyn in New York City transformed into a pulsating hub of electronic beats as English DJ, producer and FONN favourite D.O.D took the stage for an unforgettable live set. Known for his high-octane performances and genre-blending mastery, D.O.D delivered a night that fused house, disco, and big-room vibes, leaving the crowd buzzing against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Captured in a stunning YouTube stream (clocking in at just over an hour), this set is a testament to his ability to command a room with relentless energy and razor-sharp precision.
From the opening beats, D.O.D wastes no time setting the tone. The set kicks off with a driving bassline that fills Harriet’s Lounge, instantly hooking the audience gathered in this stylish venue overlooking the East River. The lounge’s intimate yet vibrant atmosphere amplifies the experience—lights bouncing off the sleek decor, Brooklyn glowing in the distance, and a crowd that’s equal parts chic and unhinged, losing themselves in the rhythm. D.O.D’s signature sound—punchy drops, hypnotic loops, and euphoric builds—feels tailor-made for this setting, turning the night into a communal celebration of sound and motion.
What stands out most in this performance, beyond the impeccable track selection, is D.O.D’s connection with the crowd. He’s not just playing to them—he’s feeding off their energy, adjusting the tempo and intensity like a conductor riding the waves of a storm. Around the 30-minute mark, he drops a reworked classic that sends the audience into a frenzy, hands in the air, voices shouting over the beat. The YouTube footage captures it all: the sweat, the smiles, the fleeting moments where strangers lock eyes in shared euphoria. It’s a reminder of why live sets like this matter—raw, unfiltered, and alive in a way that studio cuts can only dream of. For those who couldn’t make it to Harriet’s Lounge, the video is the next best thing, a front-row ticket to a night where D.O.D proved, once again, why he’s one of our faves.
