A wave rolls over your toes, and upon its retreat it reveals a bottle wedged in the sand. You snatch it out of its hiding spot and shatter it on the nearby full human skeleton. There’s a scroll waiting for you inside. You frantically unravel it. It reads: “Come to the Psycho Beach Party at Bossa Nova Civic Club.” You flip it over. “Monday October 26th. 10 pm to 4 am. Free. Spooky music. Dark wave, house, acid, jungle, DnB, more house. All spooky. All night.” You unravel it more. “Costumes highly encouraged. Masks highly encouraged. Protect your community. Spooky beach themed costumes extremely encouraged. Beach themed costumes somewhat encouraged. Spooky random costumes barely encouraged.” Now you’re intrigued. You set the scroll aside and look up at the full moon. Suddenly, a moon laser shoots you and possesses you with the ghost of halloweens past.

She plays music that holds up; music with rhythm, character, atmosphere, and a sense of history. Expect a set that moves between familiar classics and less familiar cuts, with an emphasis on letting the records speak for themselves. kieeef plz’s take on vinyl is rooted in the study of the histories of turntablism and house music. A lifelong nerd and dance music enthusiast, his ultimate conclusion was to honor and preserve the practice of mixing records, and what other way is there to do that then by mixing records? Expect 90s-2000s deep house, breaks, and acid. Ejai, Nomi, and Kitty are the hosts with the most.
