SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 6p - ?

"We’ve nearly split the party into two sets of b2b partners with really electric synergies:

We were so impressed by the b2b set that aka-Sol and como se DJ played at the last Dripping club night at Nowadays – dubby, mysterious, sexy, full of a patient tension as if they could do this all night – that we wanted to hear it again, on the intimate scale of Fiber, in this space with our favorite freaks. It’s going to be something of a going away party for como se DJ, one of the organizers of Recess, who is leaving us this fall to study sound design in Montreal.

We invited Laenz and Off-Brand to play together for the first half of the night, two producers whose particularly high-concept abstract bass music has been rinsed at multiple Fibers over the past year, and who have both been on our short list since the beginning. They share a Lot Radio show called Sluice that covers all of the knotty corners of contemporary music that we love and that sound so entomologically precise in this space. It’s gonna be a twisty night so come early to eat and for the tea, and then get weird with us.

Fiber brings together music, food, movement, and solidarity at your favorite deep listening space. Inspired by block parties, house parties, and other improvised friends and family celebrations, from the salões de festas of Salvador, Brazil, to the parks and apartments of New York City, we invite our favorite DJs and producers to play personal sets, digging deep into their bags to play music they love that doesn't fit easily into a club setting, letting them move you in expanded ways. There is a 4-point Klipschorn system, in a lovely and comfortable space, and there is a homemade buffet of high-vibrational vegetarian food to keep you fueled throughout the night.

Doors, food, and music at 6pm, with food as long as it lasts, and music through midnight, or for as long as we’re all locked in. We’re expecting it’s gonna be a hot one in the studio so the refreshments will be energizing and the music will be freaky. The a/c and fans will be on full blast, but come prepared to sweat. New York in the summer is hot and nasty and we expect that all of y’all who are still here love that sweatiness and tactility at least a little bit. In Portuguese there’s a great word for the leachate that seeps from the piles of roasting trash on our sidewalks and remains when they’ve been collected: chorume. Be sure you wear socks with your sandals."
