About this Performance

Brooklyn’s favorite nightlife stars throw eight of their signature parties, with special guest Concrete Husband.

Concrete Husband is a New York City-based producer, DJ, composer, and flutist. He’s released two dance records with the Brooklyn label White Owl Records to critical acclaim, with Document hailing him as “redefining avant-garde composition.” Trained as a classical flutist and composer at the New England Conservatory of Music, Concrete Husband draws on a comprehensive knowledge of musical history to create sonic narratives that shimmer with emotional resonance and surrealist imagination. His DJ sets weave grooves of hypnotic techno to generate moments of psychedelic mania and sensual release.

Born Carlos Aguilar to a Chicano family in Southern California, Concrete Husband moved to Brooklyn in 2021, becoming a fixture on lineups at raves and clubs like Basement, Merge, Knockdown Center, Zero Chill, and Bossa Nova. Aguilar became equally well-known for his virtuosic flute performance, which led to Eartheater inviting him to open for her 2024 European tour. As a composer and performer, his scope of influence is boundless. Recent highlights include scoring Dion Lee’s 2024 Shanghai Fashion Week presentation, performing for Michèle Lamy and Erykah Badu’s Pre-Met Gala Dinner and the Munch Museum’s event at Milan Fashion Week, and creating flute music for Ari Aster’s 2023 film, Beau is Afraid (A24). Concrete Husband plans to release his next full-length album, Aliento, this year as well as three techno EPs.
