Digital Disco feat. 1 hour and 30 minutes of disco beats!

Date: Summer 2020

Medium: Zoom, audio mixing, Black diasporic music production, Black joy, digital collage

Disco is a historically Black and queer music genre that sits at the intersection of Black diasporic music production and advancement in technology. Given our material conditions, Black people have always been both culturally and politically innovative. Art is necessary to the heart of any revolution. I made this disco mix and accompanying zoom backgrounds as part of a digital event I co-hosted with Eliza Gonring on July 18th, 2020, called "A Night of Art and Disco." Through the event we sought to hold space to think about and celebrate the intersection of Black art, Black joy, technology, and liberation.

The first half of the night featured a digital art piece titled WORLDBUILD WITH ME and the second half was a digital disco featuring mixes by Eliza and myself.
