MAታA: Juneteenth with Cookiee Kawaii, DJ Jayhood, EDEN, Teigh +more
About This Event
Elsewhere hosts MAታA's Juneteenth program featuring Cookiee Kawaii, DJ Jayhood, EDEN, Teigh, LIL2HOOD and Malcolm Flex. The bill pairs Cookiee Kawaii's club‑forward vocals—rooted in Jersey and Baltimore club and known for 2020's "Vibe," which spread widely via TikTok, and her 2021 album Vanice—with DJ Jayhood's percussive club mixes and EDEN's song‑centered electronic sets; Teigh, LIL2HOOD and Malcolm Flex supply rhythm‑first DJ work tuned to the room.
About the Artists
Cookiee Kawaii

DJ Jayhood

In the city, he appears at venues including Elsewhere, where he has shared bills with Cookiee Kawaii, Teigh, LIL2HOOD, Malcolm Flex, and EDEN, including MAታA: Juneteenth.
Teigh
Teigh is a New York City–based electronic artist and DJ who performs at Green Room NYC, where their sets often move between club-forward DJ work and live electronic performance. Their name appears alongside peers including JADALAREIGN, Rahaan, Shawn Dub, Tammy Lakkis, Lauren Flax, Saia, MATA, and Jubilee.
LIL2HOOD
LIL2HOOD is a New York City DJ who works the club circuit with sets shaped for the room rather than the timeline. They have appeared at Cargo at Dead Letter No. 9, including the Body CTrL bill alongside Bendito and Jeremy Giros.
Malcolm Flex
Malcolm Flex is a New York City–based electronic artist whose work moves between club utility and close, song-minded production. In live settings, including appearances at Elsewhere, he leans on tight transitions and rhythm-first programming rather than maximal effects.
EDEN
EDEN is the stage name of Irish musician and producer Jonathon Ng, whose work moved from early EDM aliases into a more song-centered electronic practice. After years shaped by dubstep and drum & bass frameworks, he shifted toward restrained indie-pop structures built around voice, melody, and studio detail.
