BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN… 🏠🔊

Ten years ago, New England house music veteran Sobi One launched a monthly house night at 537 Farmington Ave., filling a void in Connecticut’s house music scene.
What started as a small gathering of house heads grew into Connecticut’s longest running house music monthly.

Born at Tisane and later moving down the street to Smoke Public House during the pandemic, the night continued to stand the test of time, and even a global pandemic.
Today, veteran Mike Incillo is at the helm, bringing years of experience and deep roots in the Connecticut dance music scene to the FFHM legacy.

Mike was the driving force behind We Won’t Stop Wednesdays, a weekly event he co-founded, and ran for 3½ years which featured artists like Dan Bell (DBX), Dietrich Schoenemann, TJR, and Onionz. He was also part of the legendary Muck Crew and, more recently, the Juiced Crew, helping bring major names in dance music to the scene, including Bad Boy Bill, Gettoblaster, Christopher Lawrence, DJ Irene, Joey Beltram, and J Paul Getto.

With a history rooted in the culture, Mike continues to push FFHM forward expanding, experimenting, and evolving while staying true to the house music backbone that has kept this night alive for a decade.

With the recent sale of Smoke Public House, an opportunity has come full circle: bringing the final two shows of the year back to the address where it all began.
Different business. Same address. Same house music spirit.

Join us as we count down to celebrate 10 years of FFHM and discover why this night has remained Connecticut’s home for house music for a decade and counting.

And keep your eyes and ears open… 👀
We’ll soon be making a BIG announcement about where FFHM will call home in 2027.

The journey continues. We’re excited about this one! ❤️🔊

🔊 Hi Folks! A temporary new venue is locked in for the last two shows of the year, and then we move to our new home for 2027.

Both places are in Hartford, and not far from the old venue.

Details coming by the end of the weekend.

Hi folks. Due to the last minute renovations we are going to postpone this coming Fridays show to a future date. The last minute scrambling / change won’t provide us the adequate time to produce the show to our level of satisfaction.

Stay tuned for November show information.
Thank you for all the support ❤️

To our beautiful community:

Due to circumstances beyond our control, FFHM this coming Friday, October 2nd (First Friday House Music w/ Susan Esthera & Mike Incillo) will NOT be hosted at Smoke Public House as it will be closed for renovations.

This was very much an unfortunate last minute surprise to us to say the least, and I am working on finding a temporary venue so the show may continue.

If you are reading this, and own or operate a venue in fairly close proximity please feel free to reach out to Mike Vito Incillo if you have any interest in hosting us on October 2nd.

Updates to follow in the next couple days. Thank you all for your support 🫶
