Last night, Good Room—a Greenpoint bar sitting on an unassuming stretch of Meserole—played host to a broadcast of a Jamie xx Boiler Room set.

Things started to get lit for the small, dense crowd when Gyptian showed up to perform his 2010 classic "Hold Yuh," and by the time Young Thug came by to throw down his half of "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)," it was a full on frenzy.
