On this week’s "How to Be Outside, Inside," we’ve secured a well-rounded lifestyle curator and multifaceted creative. He goes by the name DJ MoreSoupPlease (aka Isaac Campbell). He’s originally from Newark, NJ, but spent his formative years in Mount Vernon, NY, before planting his roots in Brooklyn.
In NYC’s nightlife scene, he’s known and loved for his high-energy sets and unforgettable parties he throws all over the city. His musical taste is expansive and global-minded, blending a wide variety of genres (hip-hop, reggae, house, Afro-fusion, amapiano and R&B), all pulled together with smooth, effortless transitions. He also happens to be a talented photographer with a knack for capturing striking, evocative visuals.
Soup is actually one of the main DJs manning the turntables for an exclusive OkayAfrica X Taona House party in Brooklyn this weekend — make sure to grab your advance tickets here.
His picks for rest, relaxation, and unearthing righteous NYC vibes include swanky bars, cozy coffee shops, and luxury health clubs. Check out his picks below.

Okayplayer: Where do you go in NYC when you want to be outside, without being outside?
My perfect day goes like this: The gym at 8am, Padmores by 10 a.m., all my tasks done by 2 p.m., Prospect Park by 3 p.m., back home by 6 p.m., and finally, in bed by 9 p.m.
Tell us about the OkayAfrica Paradise IRL party you're DJing on July 25. What can we expect from the More Soup set?
Expect a set that will be high energy, with smooth transitions. It will be a nostalgic selection from multiple genres including dancehall, reggae, Afrobeats, Amapiano, served hot and ready.
