Our Unboxed/DUMBO Summer Friday event is tomorrow, you guys, and we’re on the edge of insanity over here with all the excitement. To get YOU equally as excited, we’ve enlisted Flavorpill’s Russ Marshalek, one half of our DJ duo Silent Drape Runners, to write about the recently released Spotify app, Swarm.fm: a previous O Music Awards nominee and participant in tomorrow’s event.
Our Unboxed/DUMBO Summer Friday event is so, so nigh. Which is why we’re excited to share details about another participant today: Lightbomber, an innovative photo app that will be setting up shop in photobooth form under the illustrious DUMBO Arch on Friday.
Want to know more about our Unboxed/DUMBO Summer Friday lineup? Luckily for you, OMA had the wherewithal to interview each and every one of the our multi-talented performers and participants. Today, we’re primed to introduce you to Bosco Delrey, a Brooklyn-based musician who Diplo quite aptly describes as “a sort of garbage can Elvis from New Jersey… teaspoon craziness, a pinch of rockabilly, and full cup of soul dressed in a leather jacket.” Pretty impressive-sounding, no? Well, get this: According to the musician himself, he was kind of a child prodigy to boot. Have we convinced you to come out and see him/rue your wasted youth yet? Yeah, we thought so.

Since you all have our DUMBO Summer Friday event — featuring Javelin, Prince Rama, Zambri, Bosco Delrey and a cadre of artists and developers — marked down on your calendars for August 17, we thought it wise to formally introduce you to all of our participants.
