In support of the night\\, re sident Naeem joins in to warm things up and cool things down.\\nAugust 29 th\\, 11pm–late\\nWe hope to see U on the dance floor.\\nC Powers:\\nC Powers is a DJ from Atlanta\\, GA. Her sound is informed by the DJs she g rew up listening to on Atlanta radio and the DJ vinyl shops (back when th ey still existed — Rewind and Satellite) she frequented at the young ag e of 11. This inspired her to buy her first decks in 1997 and start makin g sounds on her family’\\;s PC. C Powers has since spent the last tw o decades honing crowd control skills in the foggy clubs of London\\, fos tering queer dancing spaces as the DJ for the House Of Gunt in Savannah\\ , GA\\, and throwing solidarity dance nights in Portland\\, OR.\\nC Power s’s sets and releases combine elements of gay camp\\, anti-sophisticati on\\, extended turntable technique\\, and a sense of juxtaposition molded by a DJ career that has strayed from the traditional “club” spaces. C Powers has been heavily active in anti-displacement advocacy\\, beginni ng with organizing rent strikes with undocumented families in LA and curr ently working to build the tenant movement in Portland. She became a co-f ounding member of People’s City Council and then Don’t Evict Portland \\, and the experiences she’s had behind the decks and in organizing sp aces have begun to meld as she has explored bringing music into the organ izing space and weaponizing audio for disruption\\nNick Boyd:\\nBetween h is own DJing and his work behind Sorry Records\\, Nick Boyd has become so mething of a staple of New York’s club circuit. Behind the boards\\, he pairs old-school house and techno sounds with a more new-school kitchen- sink mentality. He plays with reverence but without idolatry\\, paying ho mage to his favorite scenes without tying himself to them.\\nA hopeless d evotee and passionate fixture of the New York City rave underground\\, Ni ck is the founder of beloved Brooklyn-based DIY label Sorry Records\\, wh ich has been putting out records from a wide variety of standout folks fr om the American dance music underground for over half a decade now.\\nNic k is a long-time resident on both The Lot Radio and 8 Ball Radio and has contributed mixes to Honcho Podcast\\, Rinse FM\\, and Spontaneous Affini ty.

Nick also occasionally writes about music and interviews artists for Love Injection \\, Crack Magazine\\, The Fader\\, and Bolting Bits.\\nNaeem:\\nDancefloo r denizen Naeem joins the night to add in his signature blend of spice an d herbs.
