next up for thirdspace on august 14th:

, the eccentric selector making waves across bmore and dc.
dee, a shining light in the dc scene that runs the people's house party. he weaves a tapestry of sounds that run true to his background, and brings out the best in others.

and of course me - z. this set's gonna be a bit more existential than usual, but it'll still be fun and creative. i can't help but dance in spite of it all.

i've also tapped .studio to do live kinect visuals that capture the motion of the crowd without making people feel too perceived.

you should feel safe at a party, and i promise that you'll feel safe to express yourself at thirdspace. 💞
