History

Liquid Sky was born in Brazil in 1986 as a clothing and cosmetic company. After becoming frustrated with the scene in São Paulo, DJ Soul Slinger moved to New York in 1988 and opened the first so-called rave emporium in the United States. DJs, performers, dancers, MCs, singers, and actors would gather inside Liquid Sky for a decade and helped build the so-called electronic scene in New York and all over America.

Liquid Sky Music was founded in 1992 and in 1993 produced and released the first US jungle track with Jungle Liquid Sky/Ethiopia.

After the September 11, 2001 attack, Liquid Sky closed the New York City store and moved to Phoenix, Arizona until 2006, when it then relocated in São Paulo, Brazil. DJ Soul Slinger and family still live in the U.S. and maintain the spirit of Liquid Sky.
