Fiber Vol. 9: matük, Mz3, myu 無, fuge
[6.21] 6pm-midnight
The Fiber One Year Carnaval is upon us, and we're gonna celebrate by bringing friends and people whose work we admire, and we hope y'all join us. Our homie Matük will bless us with his immaculate vibes to start the party. He has played some of our favorite live sets at the studio – Pájaro Transatlántico with Pablo Torres Gomez, as a part of ABELA, and playing Afro-Colombian bullerengue filtered through synthesizers as Contrafuego – and he closed out one of our parties last year with his signature repertoire of rhythmically intricate proggy jams that pull as much from cumbia as from glitchy sample-based electronica or 70s Moog krautrock. Mz3 will take over for the solstice sunset, fresh off his Dripping debut at the Ragga showcase in the barn, which will, by June 21, have become the stuff of legend. He is a true digger after our own hearts, with a USB filled with bassy polyrhythmic tracks from the funkiest capitals of global sound system culture, and the chops to put it all together in a way that it really means something. Residents myu 無 and fuge (myuge? f-yu?), the yin and yang of Fiber’s musical universe, will play back to back from the remainder of the night, bringing out all their high energy intercontinental breaks for the occasion, to rock the party until you drop.
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 in 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.
We're proud to have The NY Cultural Solidarity Project back tabling with us, as we admire the work they’re doing very much. We hope you saw the B.A.S.S. (Big Apple Solidarity Strike) party they hosted at Earthly Delights, where they raised over $5000 for a strike fund for our city’s DJs pulling out of Boiler Room. Having an organization like this working in our scene is of the utmost importance right now with venture capital entangling itself in rave culture and turning rave profits into genocidal investments. The NY CSP aim to make cultural movements for liberation sustainable through collaborative event curation, community-oriented structures, popular education, and direct aid via their Cultural Solidarity Fund. They especially work to uplift cultural workers currently facing repression for their artistic, vocal, and demonstrable support for Palestine. They’ll be bringing art and other merch for sale, and talk more about their work, if you wanna get involved. If you want to support them there is an add-on in the cart, which goes directly towards their mutual aid efforts.
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.
