Time flies huh? After a high-energy, supersonic party last month, dyaṣphönic.dance returns 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?

If your Threads feed looks anything like mine, you are hurriedly scrolling through several verbal boxing matches between mostly Nigerian artists & Afrobeats lovers and South African artists & Amapiano lovers. Before I jump into this topic, I encourage you to read my newsletters from two years ago, where I pondered what the future of Afrobeats and Amapiano would sound like, and how I don't love "afropiano". The "Best African Performance" category at The Grammys was announced in 2023, with...
