SOUL ROLL presented by Stef Nava & Luv: guest appearance from Yellow Shoots! (skate all night)
About This Event
SOUL ROLL at Xanadu pairs Stef Nava with Luv, with a guest appearance from Yellow Shoots in the venue’s skate-all-night format. Nava’s sets foreground voice, steady groove and tight song structures tailored to the room’s movement-driven program. Luv is the electro-R&B, clap-and-bounce track recorded by Janet Jackson for Discipline (2008), produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and Dernst “D’Mile” Emile; Yellow Shoots supplies clean hooks and compact arrangements from the city club circuit.
About SOUL ROLL
SOUL ROLL is the other one: a rock/pop night staged at Xanadu with skating built into the format. The bill pairs Stef Nava with Luv, then leaves room for unannounced guests who can shift the set’s shape in real time. In New York, it lands in a lineage of downtown venues where music and movement share the same floor, not separate stages. One sharp detail is the name’s overlap with Janet Jackson’s 2008 track “Luv,” a reminder of how pop titles circulate and get repurposed in new local contexts.
