One of the best things about having a lineup of killer musicians performing at the same event is that everybody on board steps up their game… so with that, we are very happy to announce tonight’s SECRET GUEST, leader of New New York, Venus X!
If you’re in need of an introduction to Venus X, you can check the NY Times profile, or listen back to her appearance on Rupture’s Mudd Up! radio show on WFMU–
Better yet, come out tonight — she’s one of our favorite DJs!
Like Jace wrote: “seeing Venus on my radio show reminded me of how so many DJs just surf the wave of ‘new jams’ and dont really fuck with the form itself. Its so fresh and refreshing to experience Venus going for it, really working the CD-js in a percussive way, pulling and pushing sound around to create a thing in and of itself. That level of real formal creativity is rare in DJs (at the level of mixing craft, DJs tend to be kinda conservative, like many of the parties they play at) and in the case of Ghe20 G0th1k, this awesome, out-there style anticipates all the amazing social stuff they’ve got going on with their party.”
CHANGE THE MOOD.
Venus will be joining Dutty familia Chief Boima, birthday boy DJ Rupture, Chants (live performance, his NYC debut, in from Madison WI!) DJ Ushka, Atropolis, and Taliesin. Action-packed, socially-minded, all profits go towards a free block party event we’re organizing out in Sunset Park called ‘Beyond The Block’, and, yes we love you.

CHANGE THE MOOD! will feature performances by Dutty Artz affiliated visual artists, musicians, DJs, and MCs. A portion of proceeds & silent auction will support the Beyond the Block Sunset Park initiative. The party combines Dutty Artz’s ground-up artistic vision with a desire to connect music fans to the struggles faced by local communities of immigrants, artists, workers, and young people that often help inspire contemporary global fashion trends.
CHANGE THE MOOD! performers include Chants from Madison, WI, making his NYC debut on the strength of his ‘Night After’ EP (“Chants makes very beautiful sounds that make you feel like you’re swimming in an underwater world of loveliness” – Dummy Mag), recent WIRE mag coverboy DJ /rupture, Que Bajo’s Geko Jones, Rick Ross protégé Chief Boima, and more.
BEYOND THE BLOCK. Can a hype block party double as an opportunity to spread information about stop & frisk, immigrant rights, police surveillance, and housing? We say yes. As the championing of diversity, a global outlook, and a celebration of the local become increasingly common in today’s dance music scenes, we see an ideal opportunity to use the energy & open-ended vibe of a great party to connect musical ideas to their real-world analogs: to create a space where we can talk about – and dance to – an incredible musical selection while sharing useful information for our communities that are impacted by issues pertaining to undocumented workers’ rights, transnational identity, health care, police violence, housing and more. Happening this fall, the inaugural Sunset Park edition of Beyond The Block is a collaboration between Beyond Digital, Dutty Artz, The Arab American Association of New York, La Unión, and individual artists and Brooklyn-based community members.
SEE YOU AT GLASSLANDS ON AUGUST 17!!!!!!!!
