A celebration of the Brooklyn independent music scene featuring beatmakers, vocalists, rappers, and instrumentalists gathered on Governors Island for a picnic, good music, and real community.
Curated by Brooklyn-based producer and rapper Cryptic One (Ian), co-founder of UBIQUITY, a quarterly Brooklyn underground hip-hop event series alongside Rijo and Paze Infinite, Frequency Fest is a space where the underground comes outside.
Expect an eclectic mix of artists doing it on their own terms, making music that means something.
Bring a blanket. Bring snacks. Soak it in.

About the Curator
Ian (Cryptic One) is a hip-hop music producer, instrumentalist, and rapper with a deep passion for the art of beatmaking. His work focuses on highlighting instrumental producers as artists in their own right, without the need for vocalists to take center stage. Through BEATs TABLE, he aims to bring awareness to the beat scene and provide audiences with a foundational understanding of what these producers do and why it is a unique art form. More than just showcasing the music, he seeks to tell the human stories behind the beats—exploring the motivations, inspirations, challenges, and creative journeys that drive producers to create and perform.
