Derrick “D-Nice” Jones reflects on 'Club Quarantine' — livestreamed DJ sets in the early weeks of the pandemic that quickly evolved into a beloved virtual dance party on Instagram Live — ahead of his Carnegie Hall debut.

Anna Weber, general manager of artistic planning and operations at Carnegie Hall, told Gothamist the concert is a part of an ongoing move to expand the hall's work with contemporary Black artists. “We are very interested in staying culturally relevant, building relationships with artists who are contemporary pop artists,” Weber said. “And D-Nice is really the best of the best.”
Now that we're able to do this in real life, it's probably the best experience that I've ever had in my life outside of being a dad. The outpouring of love, the love of music, the way we shift the music. When I go to clubs, I no longer have to hear old-school songs at the end of the night. People are, like, blending them into the set. It's beautiful to see the type of impact that CQ had on the world, the music business, and people in general.
I love a combination of both. There was something magical about doing it from home, where I couldn't see anyone and I knew people were there listening to me, because they truly enjoyed the music that I was playing. I can still go on right now and at the end of my set, it's 70,000 people that were in there for, like, that hour set. And it's because they love the music that I play.
There's so much history there – but not history from a DJ's perspective, and definitely not history from a Black DJ's perspective. So playing that venue, it's really like a dream come true. And I know it's going to inspire the next generation.
