🫵🏾 You Made dyaṣphönic ICONIC! | May Lineup!
|
I don't think I have the words to fully explain how amazing the first edition of dyaṣphönic.dance was earlier this month! You'd think after organizing events for years I'd be less anxious, but no. It was my first solo event and my nerves were all over the place, but all was MORE than well! I really want to thank our DJs Bonita Appleblunt and Cobra B, our event sponsor Bayab Gin (those drinks were amazing and y'all knew it by the way you bought them OUT!), and lastly all of you who came and enjoyed the sounds of Dyaspara! You made my birthday celebration so special! We energized the Agave Den this go round, but in May we'll be lighting up the larger nightclub space so you'll have even more room to dance! If you missed the first one, don't fret: we're partying again Saturday, May 3! Make sure you reserve your free RSVP ticket in advance and bring a friend! We'll have Bayab Gin specials again (#MakeitAfrican) and DJs Zuni and Phreaky Bionick providing sounds alongside myself! I hope you're ready for a great time! I hope you enjoyed this newsletter.

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...
Unless you've been living under a rock I'm sure you've seen an outpour of DJ sets on your TikTok, Instagram Reels feed and YouTube homepages at coffee shops, in living rooms, and every other place that is NOT a club. It, one, speaks to most people's frustrations with nightclubs + club culture: overpriced drinks, expensive sections, and everyone feeling a little bit too cool to move on the dancefloor. Secondly, I think, it's a #recessionindicator that forces event producers like myself to not...
When I first started DJing I had no idea how much joy it'd bring me and how helpful it'd be for me in expressing myself. The realest ish I ever heard was when Jay-Z rapped, "I can't see it coming down my eyes, so I gotta make the song cry,".. A WORD! But even more than that, the greatest gift of this creative career has been the community of women and femme sound selectas and event producers I've gained! It may shock you, but even in 2025, people are surprised to see me and other women DJs...
