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 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!
