DJ REVIEW: DJ SYLO @ Fluid, 4-23

Fluid Philly and local clothing line Babylon Cartel joined forces on Saturday night for “808s is Back,” featuring DC born DJ Sylo on the turntables. The party focused on fashion and hip-hop with the DJ spinning just a smoothly as the disco ball revolving above the club’s cavernous dance floor.

DJ Sylo played a low-riding mix of '90s G-Funk and other hip-hop classics that made the crowd bump, grind, and straight up feel gangsta all night. It was “nothing but a G thang” as his nostalgia-inducing set had the crowd of hipsters, blipsters, homies, and bros acting a fool until the lights turned on at 2 a.m.

A hip guy just trying to make his mark on the Philly DJ scene, Sylo loves connecting with his crowd during the set, often acting like a goof and dancing around up on his DJ perch, feeding off the energy of both the music and the people romping around below him. Sylo’s about to “get ready for the next episode” when he crosses the pond in the fall with plans to hit London in September and spread his brand. But look for him in the future spinning around the Philly area at local clubs, bars and events.
