Here's an excellent lineup that showcases Black dance music talent from across the genre spectrum, from Memphis up-and-comer Qemist to Chicago footwork hero Traxman to acid king Azari, not to mention Dee Diggs and Kilopatrah Jones bringing their house A-game. (Disclosure: co-promoter HEADS KNOW is run by an RA contributor.)
Up: Acid Diva House Legend Azari of Azari & III rocks the Diamond Palace with Dee Diggs and Kilopatrah Jones, two of NYC's most acclaimed House stars.
Down: Suzi Analogue's NEVER NORMAL RECORDS is teaming up with Brooklyn-based party HEADS KNOW to present its inaugural installment of BIG FAX. For its debut on July 8th at Paragon, expect high-octane footwork all night with Chicago Teklife legend Traxman, NYC mainstay Neon Nuckles, and Memphis' Qemist.
