[@supernelzo]

[@patriciamurphy9599]

I love Brooklyn and my church Family from Wayside BC!

[@tomdomagalski3679]

Way to give essential workers more to worry about!

[@FlyGuyGuru]

Shout-out to you and the Vil family...Wayside has produced great people

[@jonmacie7581]

That is the house music community in a nutshell.....

[@sirkristoferTV]

Social distancing has gone right out the window then in America

[@beems6403]

MY BROTHERS JOVILL AND CHAD BRING LIFE TO THE DEATH THAT MYSERY CREATED, MUSIC TO THE SILENT HEART AND THIRSTY SOUL. #STJAMESJOY

How many people contracted COVID during this block party when transmission of this virus was at its height?

[@anunnakimenagerie]

The irony of quarantine parties and social-distancing crowds... A least two dozen people, just in this video, weren't covering their faces at all... not that those thin little masks and bandanas are doing much. Why not just open everything back up at this point?

[@DJFreedomlives]

I passed by and saw the party. My Bro Ray Vazquez was rocking a few times. And yes it was HOUSE MUSIC that moved the crowd. Sure classics and pop but HOUSE is what unites people. You never hear of fights or drama and house music events. Ever.

Just gotta love Brooklyn 💕💕

[@justinfranchi5936]

Does anyone know the song that plays at 4:06?

[@ThomasDaBombas]

this is super cute

[@Kev117]

No wonder Brooklyn got hit hard with virus outbreaks

[@crunkytrunks]

Positive people doing positive things.

[@ColtanFree]

Was that a pun intended? Positive as in COVID+

[@greerjones9791]

It was commendable for you guys to celebrate the essential workers. Next time consider the people living in the neighborhood when you play your loud music. The sound traveled to neighboring streets/homes like you wouldn't believe. Everyone doesn't want a dance party in their home every day for an hour and a half. One day a week is more tolerable. Clapping for a few minutes is sufficient.
