Time flies huh? After a high-energy, supersonic party last month, dyaṣphönic.dance return​s for another journey of sound this Saturday! If you've missed the first two, it's not too late to secure your spot at Dyaspara's sonic den! The DJs for our next party have unique energies that play deeply into sound AND story. I can't wait for you to hear and feel how these two artists' sets connect! ​Dyaspara is a cultural connector who lives to learn and reflect on the beauty, vastness, and connectedness of cultures in the African diaspora. The open format DJ is known for her selections of afro-house, edits, afrobeats, dancehall, amapiano music and other global Black sounds. She's passionate about helping people of the African diaspora remember the rhythmic origins in their blood through movement. Dance and Klub Kitty Queen Zuni will be on the decks for the next dyasphonic! Shoutout to the incredible MobeeThicc for stepping in for Zuni last month! Known for her unique blends of dance and juke, we can’t wait for Zuni to electrify the dancefloor with a global spin! ​FINDING IJEOMA blends distinct methods of sampling, mixing, and archival audio to amplify femme voices, invoke Black memory, and honor the tradition of storytelling within global dance music culture. Rooted in Chicago’s sonic legacy, her practice embodies a deep reverence for rhythm, ritual, and collective healing. We're back in the Agave Den this month, so the Bayab Gin specials you know and love (and if you don't know 'em, where you been at? #MakeitAfrican) for cheap cheap! If you missed last month, don't fret: secure your spot by grabbing your advanced tickets and bring a friend! See you Saturday! I hope you enjoyed this newsletter. Was this sent to you by a friend?

It's Friday again and I'm in literal awe that we're already almost done with Q1. I typically mark the new year as my birthday and I'm hoping to have a way better year (and birthday) than I've had the past three. It's been rough for many of us and music has been the one thing to keep me going. On my birthday weekend this year, I'm ecstatic to be on the lineup for a new party series ASHAWO, a space to shake nyash to Alté, Afro-house, and Afrobeats with African and diasporic queer folks!
