8PM - 11PM

Join us for Izakaya After Dark and celebrate Lunar New Year on Friday, February 20th from 8 PM to 11 PM as Freshido Bar & Kitchen welcomes the Year of the Horse with a festive New Year celebration filled with energy, music, and shared moments. DJ Miles Morales and Minus Nine will set the mood with a dynamic soundtrack, creating the perfect backdrop for shared plates, crafted drinks, and a lively after dark atmosphere.

The Year of the Horse represents strength, independence, and forward momentum, inspiring us to move with confidence, act with intention, and embrace the path ahead. Celebrate fresh energy, meaningful growth, and new beginnings with us, brought together through food, music, and moments meant to be shared.


DJ Miles Morales turntablist, filmmaker, and sonic architect, turns soundtracks into emotional landscapes. His award-winning film Greencastle showcases a director’s ear for storytelling, where every needle drop and scratch isn’t just music; it’s narrative alchemy. Behind the decks, that same cinematic instinct shines: Miles doesn’t just mix tracks, he scores moments, blending hip-hop, house, salsa, and punk into visceral sets that move bodies and hearts.

A globetrotting open-format DJ, he’s rocked decks for Nike, NYC Fashion Week, and the Smithsonian, but his roots run deeper, raised on soul, funk, and reggae, his crates are a time machine from Top 40 to techno. Offstage, he collaborates with visual artists like Joseph Yonke, crafting soundscapes as bold as Wynwood murals.

From film reels to vinyl grooves, Miles Morales makes sound felt Press play.

Izakaya After Dark takes over Saturday, March 14th from 8 PM to 11 PM at Freshido Bar and Kitchen, setting the scene for an elevated night shaped by sound and atmosphere. Rizo Ritmo leads the evening with a style that pairs seamlessly with crafted drinks, shared plates, and an experience meant to linger.


Rizo Ritmo is a crate digger at heart, crafting intimate listening experiences through vinyl selections rooted in soul, funk, world grooves, jazz, and Japanese city pop. His approach favors depth over volume, treating each set as a slow-burn conversation between record, room, and listener—where groove unfolds naturally and every needle drop is placed with intention.

With experience playing in hi-fi focused listening spaces such as HiFi Izakaya in Lancaster and MoonDog HiFi in Brooklyn, NYC, Rizo understands the subtle art of playing with a room rather than over it. His selections emphasize warmth, texture, and flow, creating an atmosphere that encourages presence—music meant to be felt as much as heard, supporting conversation while quietly guiding the mood.

Rooted in years of crate digging, Rizo’s vinyl selections move fluidly across eras and borders, blending familiar classics with deeper cuts and overlooked gems. Soulful rhythms, funk-driven basslines, global grooves, new-age jazz and city pop melodies form the backbone of his sound, evoking nostalgia while remaining timeless.

As the night deepens, Rizo gradually introduces soulful and groove-forward house, allowing modern rhythm to emerge organically from his vinyl foundation, with a touch of digital selects. The result is a seamless transition from listening to movement—never abrupt, never forced, always guided by feel.

Whether warming a room early in the evening or carrying it into a late-night glow, Rizo Ritmo curates with the sensibility of a listener first and a DJ second. His sets invite guests to slow down, tune in, and linger—creating space where sound, setting, and shared experience come into quiet alignment.

Welcoming back DJ Kynz for another late night at Freshido Bar and Kitchen. Izakaya After Dark returns Friday, January 16th, from 8 PM to 11 PM with music, cocktails, and a laid back night made for easing into the weekend.

 

DJ Kynz specializes in crafting musical journeys that evolve in mood and energy. Sets often begin with warm tones—jazz, lo-fi, and hip-hop—gently easing into downtempo, dub, and chillout textures. As the night unfolds, the tempo and energy rise naturally, moving into deep, groovy house and intelligent breaks. The progression is seamless and intentional—designed to draw listeners in, spark conversation, and let time slip away. Whether you’re swaying, tapping your foot, lost in thought or full on dancing like no one is watching, the groove keeps you anchored in the moment.

DJ Kynz is a veteran of the decks with over 25 years of experience blending deep house, breakbeat, and chill-out into immersive, journey-driven sets. Raised in the D.C./Baltimore rave scene and rooted in vinyl, his sets are less about playlists and more about transporting listeners through sound. As half of the production duo Modus Novum, he crafts cinematic, groove-heavy tracks that fuse atmosphere and emotion—with a slew of releases on labels like Hexagonal, Stazis and Capital Heaven. Whether in the booth or the studio, DJ Kynz delivers timeless vibes with impeccable taste.

DJ Admatix music journey started for him at the age of 12. When he began crafting beats that eventually landed on mixtapes up and down the East Coast and Midwest under a different alias. By 18, he was constantly mixing, experimenting with mashups, and bending genres to create a sound of his own. At 22, he took his energy to the local scene and built experience behind the decks. Later in years he stepped back to focus on family, he never stopped creating, practicing, and pushing the boundaries of music genres. Recently he returned to the music scene with a new name, fresh vision and a passion stronger than ever.

Although DJ Admatix is an open format DJ, he favors his sets by bending all genres with afro house, house, and dance music. While he brings new life to older songs, he creates a positive vibe with high energy and unexpected blends that will keep you guessing what’s coming next.
