Event Details
DJ Pereira—better known on social channels as “El Pereiroso”—is set to ignite Makara Queens this Thursday night. According to his latest Instagram caption, “JUEVES 🤯🍾🥃 @makara_qns CON EL PEREIROSO! LLEGUEN TEMPRANO! LONG WEEEKND GET THERE EARLY RSVP UR TABLES NOW!” (Translation: “Thursday at Makara Queens with El Pereiroso! Arrive early! Long weekend—get there early. RSVP your tables now!”). Hosts Belo Events are handling table reservations via direct message, and Branson Cognac will provide featured bottle specials throughout the evening.
Meet El Pereiroso
Born Pedro “Pereira” Martinez and hailing from the Bronx, DJ Pereira has spent the past five years building a reputation across New York’s club scene. His moniker—El Pereiroso—plays off the Spanish word for “lazy,” a tongue-in-cheek contrast to his energetic house and Afro-Latin sets. As part of The Heavy Hitter DJs collective, Pereira has performed at high-profile venues from Uptown’s Dron to Astoria’s VYBZ Steinway, curating weekend-launching bangers that keep dance floors packed well past closing time.
Past Appearances
Just last week, Pereira kicked off Memorial Day Weekend with a headline set at Dron in uptown Manhattan. His post @ DJ8CPMgxNnW read, “TONIGHT UPTOWN NYC! WE TOUCH DOWN @ DRON! GET THERE EARLY 🤯🍾 MDW STARTS TODAY!” The vibrant crowd responded to his blend of reggaeton edits and deep-house grooves. A few days earlier, he made his Dive Bar debut in Brooklyn—another Branson Cognac–powered event that sold out its tables within hours.
Branson Cognac Partnership
Branson Cognac has become DJ Pereira’s go-to spirit partner. From signature cocktails on the decks to branded promotional lounges, the Cognac maker has backed many of his milestone shows. The #BransonCognac tag appears across his event posts, reinforcing the partnership and lending a touch of luxury to each booking.
What To Expect At Makara Queens
Makara Queens, tucked beneath the subway tracks at 36-05 36th St., offers a multiroom dance experience with state-of-the-art lighting and VIP table service. On Thursday, look for Pereira to open with an Afro-beat warm-up before launching into a four-hour headliner slot. Guests can expect surprise guest DJs from The Heavy Hitter collective and late-night bottle specials on Branson VSOP and XO expressions.
Seating is extremely limited. Belo Events recommends sending a direct message as soon as possible to secure a table. Doors open at 10:00 PM, and the show runs until 4:00 AM. Earlier arrival not only guarantees the best views of the DJ booth but also unlocks exclusive welcome drinks courtesy of Branson Cognac.
This Thursday’s gig extends Pereira’s string of packed-out appearances throughout Queens and Manhattan. Whether you’re a dance-music devotee or simply hunting for a spirited start to your weekend, El Pereiroso’s residency at Makara Queens promises a seamless blend of international rhythms, house-floor heat, and premium Cognac service.
Fans who missed his recent Saturday night show at 3Friends Lounge (@imdjplayboy’s birthday bash) can catch him here—and judge for themselves why the Bronx-born DJ has become one of New York’s most in-demand party starters.
DJ Pereira’s Thursday residency caps off a busy spring schedule that will see him next at Taboga Room on May 23 (Memorial Day Weekend), sharing decks with DJ SpinKing, Rod Evant and other Heavy Hitters.
With table RSVPs filling up fast, this is one “Jueves” you won’t want to sleep on. Arrive early, sip Cognac, and let El Pereiroso take you on a musical marathon that proves the party never stops in New York City.
DJ Pereira will return to Makara Queens next Thursday, carrying forward the energy into the official long-weekend kickoff. Secure your spot now and prepare for one of the city’s most talked-about club nights.
