MORE LOVE. We’re welcoming in 2025 with a higher call: more inclusivity and diversity and movement. A new global dance night exploring the past, present and future of dance music across a broadening spectrum of genres — from disco to dembow, afrobeats to amapiano — an expanding palette of sounds, beats, and languages.
This is the launch party.
RIOBAMBA (APOCALIPSIS, NYC) is a first-generation Ecuadorian-Lithuanian sound artist/DJ. Her rowdy, deeply-researched live sets reflect back nightlife’s power as a site of joy and resistance. She has shared the stage with Ivy Queen, Tego Calderón, Nina Sky, Toro y Moi, and Princess Nokia.
DEEJAY THEORY (ORIGINAL TING MUSIC, MA), a New England native by way of San Francisco, has been swimming in international musical waters for most of his adult life. While out West, he co-founded and hosted TORMENTA TROPICAL, a decade-long dance party in SF’s Mission district. His in-demand DJ sets diffuse a multiplicity of genres with careful craftsmanship, exquisitely blended with near-zero turbulence and maximal groove.
Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Secret Planet tokens accepted. There is a full bar and the cafe will be open serving delicious snacks throughout the night.
MORE LOVE is brought to you by Original Ting Music, Secret Planet Western Mass, and Laudable Productions.
