Hakim's music works like weather — humid, slow-rolling soul that envelops a room, and Warsaw's high-ceilinged ballroom acoustics suit it perfectly. He's also a musician's musician whose collaborators run from Onyx Collective to Slauson Malone. Add Warsaw's beloved kitchen serving pierogis and Polish beer at the back, and it's the most atmospheric mid-size show in Brooklyn this weekend.
What to expect
A hazy, patient set heavy on mood, with a full band recreating the layered textures of his records. The crowd is reverent and sways more than it dances. Warsaw's bar and pierogi window run all night; the checkerboard ballroom floor fills by the second opener.

- The venue is a functioning Polish community hall — the food is legit
- GA standing ballroom with some side benches
- Sound favors the center of the room under the chandeliers
- Greenpoint's bar scene is steps away for afterward
