UNKLE presents their new live experience: Rōnin. They are excited to perform a bespoke live selection of recent recordings, remixes, reinterpretations, and classics.
Playing Robots Into Heaven follows the critically acclaimed Friends That Break Your Heart – James’ highest charting album in the UK to date – and will see James once again return to the electronic roots of his Hessle, Hemlock and R&S records days. It will also nod to his latest creation, the CMYK event series with Rhonda INTL which kicked off in LA last March and will be coming to London on July 6th. To mark the release of Playing Robots Into Heaven, James will be embarking on a headline international tour, with dates in the UK, Europe and North America.
This year the legendary DIY music fest ELECTRONICON is back with their most ambitious lineup to date featuring two days of music at Knockdown Center in Queens, NY on Friday August 25th and Saturday August 26th. Featuring performances by George Clanton, Doss, RXK Nephew, James Ferraro, death’s dynamic shroud and many more.
This year will be the first time ElectroniCON has expanded to be a two day festival, featuring both indoor and outdoor stages, as well as a few exciting new interactive experiences. With humble beginnings in 2019 as the first “vaporwave” music festival, ElectroniCON has unexpectedly attracted an expanding audience of people interested in its unique curation of both iconic and fringe electronic artists.
Body & SOUL is back to celebrate our 27th Year Anniversary with a beautiful outdoor party at the Ruins at the Knockdown Center
With your Musical hosts Danny, Joe and Francois and Ariel on lights.
See You On The Dance Floor

IMPORTANT: While THIS PARTY has always been ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, it remains SUITED for those who would REALIZE that the DEEPEST CONNECTIONS and MOST PROFOUND PERSONAL REALIZATIONS occur when one is OPEN to EXPERIENCING CULTURE as it EXISTS on a ONE-TO-ONE level. In doing so, it is PARAMOUNT that you UNDERSTAND that THE POWER OF MODERN DANCE MUSIC is FUNDAMENTALLY ROOTED in the act of SOUL-BEARING COMMUNION, one that was BORN out of the IRREFUTABLE NECESSITY to HONOR ONE’S TRUE SELF, especially when SOCIETY AT LARGE would SIGNAL that your HAPPINESS and WELL-BEING are NOT A PRIORITY. This party INTENDS to UPHOLD the LANGUAGE of this country’s FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT as it would APPLY to AN ENLIGHTENED ASSEMBLY in our CURRENT AGE, to BACK this LONG SINCE SULLIED DREAM with some amount of INTEGRITY, so that its PRINCIPLES NO LONGER RING HOLLOW. Which is to say, WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT: ALL HUMANS ARE BORN FREE AND EQUAL IN DIGNITY AND RIGHTS. WE are ENDOWED with REASON and CONSCIENCE and our ACTIONS towards ONE ANOTHER should REFLECT an UNDERSTANDING of THE SPIRIT OF KINSHIP. In doing so, the ACT of ACKNOWLEDGING and CELEBRATING that THE ROOTS of much of the MUSIC REPRESENTED TRACE BACK TO HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, most specifically BLACK QUEER AMERICANS, is a NECESSARY COMPONENT of APPRECIATING the MYRIAD WAYS in which DANCE MUSIC has EVOLVED since. Simply stated, QUEER CULTURE AND THIS CITY’S DIVERSITY ARE CENTRAL TO THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF DANCE MUSIC, AND YOUR ATTENDANCE MEANS THAT YOU WILL HONOR THIS FACT.
