New Orleans Airlift and Bounce have a history.
New Orleans Airlift first collaborated with Bounce artists shortly after our inception. New York producer Dre Skull contacted us to locate and coordinate with local legends Sissy Nobby, Big Freedia and Katey Red. That project led to deeper relationships between Airlift and the wider Bounce community. From there, we began partnerships that continue to this day, leading to projects like the first ever Bounce showcase at South by Southwest, creative projects with visual artists like Aiko, fashion luminaries like Rick Owens, and musical partnerships with bands like the Brooklyn art punk duo Japanther and dance music superstar Diplo. Most recently, Jay (aka DJ Rusty Lazer) and the entire Airlift team worked with Windows to bring together the Bounce and Vogue scenes in a massive "Vounce" Ball focused on the undeniable similarities and unique differences between the two cultures.
