Jersey Club didn’t come from nowhere. It came from Newark—from the streets, the basements, the block parties and the bedrooms. This June, DJ Sliink brings that story to the floor of Takeoff Lounge for one of the most meaningful nights of the North to Shore Festival.

“United States of Jersey”: From Newark to Now is a celebration and a reckoning — a chance to stand in the room where a global sound gets honored by the community that created it. Pioneering artists who built Jersey Club from the ground up share space with the emerging voices carrying it forward, and the result is a night that feels both like a homecoming and a look ahead.

Don’t expect a standard concert or night at the club. This is a cultural event built around music, dance and storytelling and designed to connect generations, spark conversations and remind every young creative that the culture they love was made by people who looked just like them, right here in this city.

Whether you’ve been riding for Jersey Club since the beginning or you’re just discovering what Newark has given the world, this night will move you—literally and otherwise. DJ Sliink is one of the architects of this sound, and watching him hold space for both its legacy and its future is something worth showing up for.

Newark built something the whole world heard. This summer, come experience it for yourself.
