Laidback Luke to Host Free Kung Fu Class on NYC Rooftop

On September 6, renowned Dutch DJ and producer Laidback Luke will offer fans a unique opportunity to participate in a free Kung Fu class on the rooftop of Superior Ingredients in New York City. This event, dubbed the 'Rooftop Dojo,' will take place just before his highly anticipated DJ set later that night. Entry to the class is complimentary, inviting fans to engage with Luke in an experience that comfortably bridges the worlds of martial arts and music.

Luke, who is not just a famed DJ but also a former Kung Fu world champion—having secured six medals, including three gold, at the 2017 Kung Fu World Championship—has seamlessly incorporated his martial arts background into his music career for years. This isn't the first time he has blended the two; he hosted a similar class during Miami Music Week, showcasing his multifaceted talent.

Geared toward true beginners, this Labor Day Weekend class exemplifies Luke's extensive insights into both Kung Fu and DJing. He draws parallels between the two disciplines, stating, "You watch the crowd and see what they’re up to. Are they tired? Are they happy? Are they losing focus? And then you switch it up. It’s the same thing I do when playing a set." This connection between watching and responding to a crowd is what makes both his teaching and performance style uniquely interactive.

Notably, this rooftop event coincides with a fresh chapter in Luke's musical journey, as he recently released a new single titled 'HUMAN AGAIN II' featuring GRAMMY-nominated artist Bright Lights. This track marks their first collaboration in nine years, following the success of their previous hit, 'Paradise.' As such, the New York performance will also serve as a significant live premiere moment.

Tickets are now available for purchase for Luke's DJ set at Superior Ingredients via their official website. Fans are encouraged not only to immerse themselves in the Kung Fu session but also to join him for a night filled with high-energy dance music that promises to resonate on multiple levels.
