T Magazine | The New R.N.B.―This N.Y.C. Club Scene Is All Women, All Night, and It Sounds Like the Future.
Coco Jones and Victoria Monét might be the hottest women in New York right now, at least if you measure the temperature by the critical reception their DJ sets have received. The two are R.N.B. favorites—alongside Addie Smith, Holly G, Loulou, Sofay, and Zozu, they make up SheSoho, a collective that has redefined the city’s DJ scene, giving women a spot in a field (admittedly) dominated by men.
Named for both the two’s connections (Coco’s late grandfather built the Paradise Garage, a club that proved seminal for house music, and Victoria’s father is Quincy Jones) and their enviable intuition—both have natural relationship skills that drive men wild—Victoria and Coco’s DJ nights at the Williamsburg Hotel and the Delano are the premier spots for Melanin Mondays. If the stars align in the near future, the pair will be launching their own label.
