Disco Alfresco, formerly known as SoundCream Sunset Sessions, transforms Civic Park into an open-air dance floor every Thursday evening in June and July. With world-class DJs, family-friendly vibes, and sunsets that melt into disco lights, this free event turns Hemisfair into San Antonio’s summer dance destination. Powered by the SoundCream Airstream and energized by DJs from Texas, Los Angeles, and New York. No shoes required.
July 31 DJs:
BRUK OUT!
Bruk Out! is San Antonio’s longest-running tropical and global-bass party, setting speakers ablaze with Caribbean, Latin, reggae en español, cumbia and dembow since 2013.
Founded by DJ / promoter Isaiah from Texas, the crew began as a humble downtown dance night and quickly grew into a decade-deep movement that “runs tings in the 210,” importing international guest selectors while spotlighting home-grown talent. ?
Isaiah’s genre-bending, culture-bridging sets anchor every event, earning brand collaborations with labels like Red Bull, Chivas Regal and Johnnie Walker and making Bruk Out! synonymous with global-bass culture well beyond Texas.
From sweat-soaked warehouse raves to open-air day parties, Bruk Out! remains a beacon for anyone ready to whine, perrear and—true to its name—bruk out on the dance floor.
RIO BAMBA
Riobamba is a first-generation, Ecuadorian-Lithuanian sound artist/DJ, scholar, death doula, and cultural activist based in New York City. Riobamba is represented by techno-feminist booking agency Discwoman.
Riobamba’s rowdy, deeply researched live sets reflect back nightlife’s power as a site of joy and resistance, amplifying connective tissues between YouTube clips, bodega soundtracks, and noise hyperreality “suped up with a twisted, industrial gnarl” (Complex). The Fader has called her production work “a radically self-expressive piece of futurism that stands against a single, boxed-in definition of what Latinx club music can be.”
She is founder of APOCALIPSIS, a record label that amplifies artists of the Global South and diaspora, and is intent on restructuring the music industry to center and pay BIPOC creators.
Riobamba has shared the stage with Ivy Queen, Tego Calderón, Nina Sky, Toro y Moi, Princess Nokia, Celso Piña, and DJ Playero, with performance highlights at Panorama Festival, MoMA PS1 Warm Up, CTM Berlin, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, Montreux Jazz Festival, Boiler Room, Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, and Red Bull Festival Chile.
Riobamba previously led A&R for iconic Nuyorican music label Fania, and was Music Editor of digital platform Remezcla. Prior to moving to New York City, she was the first Colombia-based Fulbright-mtvU researcher, investigating the potential of digital music production as a subversive tool for healing the legacy of civil conflict. Her research documented collaborations with local musicians and communities, amplifying the sounds of cumbia gótica, political hip-hop, and electro-champeta.
