Meet Our Community Makers: DJ Jonathan Gordon Brings Disco Magic to Casa Adrià

Who Is Jonathan Gordon?

Jonathan’s journey is as vibrant as his vinyl collection. “I’ve been working as a DJ since college, though I suppose my role has evolved over the years,” he tells us. From humble beginnings in campus events to commanding the energy of full rooms across the city, Jonathan has grown into a seasoned performer who crafts moods, memories, and meaningful moments.

Today, he’s best known for curating disco-themed parties that seamlessly blend classic beats with modern remixes. These aren’t your typical throwback sets, they’re immersive, high-vibe experiences that blur the line between nostalgia and now. Guests leave feeling like they’ve stepped into a parallel universe where Donna Summer meets Daft Punk, and every chorus is an invitation to let go.

But DJing is only one side of the story. “I came to New York to be an actor, and that’s still at the heart of what I do,” Jonathan says. With a resume that includes work in film, TV, Broadway, and Off-Broadway, he brings a performer’s charisma to every set he plays. His deep understanding of timing, mood, and narrative arcs shines through every transition. His experience on stage helps him sense the pulse of the room and guide it with theatrical precision.

“Music has been a constant passion of mine, and DJing has become one of my favorite creative outlets. I love curating a mood, setting a tone, and bringing people together on the dance floor.”

Whether it’s a club night, wedding, brand activation, or private celebration, Jonathan brings his whole self to the booth. It’s this blend of technical skill, artistic instinct, and genuine joy that transforms a simple setlist into a shared experience. People don’t just hear his music, they feel it. And that’s what makes all the difference.

In a city like New York where creativity is currency, Jonathan has carved out a niche by blending performance with party. He isn’t just behind the decks; he’s in the moment with the crowd, responding to the atmosphere and elevating the energy. It’s this kind of intuition that can’t be taught, only cultivated through years of both artistic discipline and open-hearted connection.

A Night of Love and Disco at Casa Adrià

For the anniversary party at Casa Adrià, Jonathan transformed the space into a soulful, high-energy celebration of love and longevity. From the first beat to the last, he kept the energy rising and the crowd engaged. The vibe shifted seamlessly from heartfelt speeches to full-on dance floor anthems. The highlight? When the crowd fully leaned into the nostalgia:

“When things were really cooking during the dance party, everybody started to do the Hustle. We love a throwback.”

It was a moment of spontaneous synchronicity, a collective flashback to glitter balls and bell bottoms, brought back to life in a Brooklyn loft. It’s the kind of memory that gets retold at brunch, texted about for days, and imprinted into the fabric of friendships. And it all happened at one of Cocoon’s most adaptable and design-forward venues.

Casa Adrià, tucked into the heart of Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood, is a modern event space with undeniable character. It features an open-plan kitchen and lounge area, high ceilings, exposed brick, and warm industrial textures. What makes it truly unique is its ability to transform. By day, it can host cooking workshops or creative offsites; by night, it becomes the ideal setting for a dance party under moody lights and mirrored disco balls.

Its design is smart, subtle, and full of personality, exactly what you want when the people (and playlists) are the real stars of the show. It’s one of our most versatile creative studio rentals in NYC, perfect for intimate dinners, milestone celebrations, product launches, or spontaneous soul train lines. Casa Adrià creates a canvas for unforgettable stories.

And let’s not forget the layout: easy to move through, but dynamic enough to create zones for dancing, lounging, and dining. Guests could seamlessly shift from deep conversation to carefree dancing in a space that supported it all. It’s the kind of venue that makes a planner’s life easier and a guest’s experience magical.

A full dance floor and pure joy—guests let loose to disco classics during a private event at Cocoon’s Casa Adrià.
