from the promoter’s listing

August continues with a lineup rooted in the legacy and future of Black dance music. House, soul, and deep grooves provide the thread through another extended session.

Jadalareign brings an expansive ear for soulful, left-of-center club sounds, while Jay Duncan moves with the kind of refined, genre-fluid touch that makes a room trust the process. Shekdash adds percussive drive and forward motion, and Donis completes the lineup with a patient, groove-led approach to club music.

RSVP discount ticket is paid at the door. RSVPs are one per person, so anyone coming with you will need to submit their own. We cut off RSVPs at 11pm, and you'll need to be checked in at the door by that time to receive the discounted rate. Plan to arrive early rather than risk being in line when the clock hits 11. Keep in mind that an RSVP does not guarantee entry, as the venue can fill up. Buying a full price ticket ahead of time is the surest way to guarantee your spot.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Drawing from a deep well of dubwise hypnosis and ‘90s tribal house, Jay Duncan crafts sexed-up cuts and body-led sets that move. As a resident for Adonis, she channels raw and euphoric energy into her sets, equal parts pressure and pleasure. With a background in experimental dub production and years spent behind the counter at various London record shops, Jay brings a deep, intuitive knowledge of music to the booth. She builds tension through texture, letting repetition breathe, inviting groove to fracture and reform.
    Their RA profile lists Phantasy Sound, Trule and Baroque Sunburst.
