There’s A Good Room In Brooklyn, And It’s Sweaty In There.
Deep on the dance floor is a community of people celebrating summer, and each other.

Conductors of Summer is a Heatwave feature in which we ask the conductors of summer — a lifeguard, an ice cream man, a gardener, a drag queen, and more — to document their high season with a disposable camera. Bring your handheld fan, because it's about to get hot.
What's one thing that everyone wants to do (at least a little bit) during summer in New York City? The thing that can make people feel happy and connected and like they're really living? Dance, of course. It happens in the streets, in the subway, on the piers and underground. It happens in rooms: hot rooms, sweaty rooms, and sometimes, Good Room. For this installment of Conductors of Summer, we interviewed musician and DJ Heidy P., who often makes cameos at Greenpoint's Good Room (and well-known other room, Bad Room). Here's a look inside Heidy's sweaty, dancy, hot, and FUN summer.
What does summer mean to you?
Summer for me is about falling in and out of love every week, staying up way past the sunrise and being able to juggle a million projects without needing too much sleep. The sun truly empowers me and I’m at my best from May to September. Summer starts on Memorial Day weekend every year for me. It’s my annual pilgrimage to Movement Festival in Detroit and that’s the turning point and always my biggest source of inspiration years after years. Time goes way too fast after that and it’s once again almost August and I realized I haven’t been invited to your upstate NY summer house yet, I only went to beach once and I barely have a tan! So here’s to me trying to relax a little bit, enjoy the remaining of this summer and chase the block parties.
