For July‘s Digbeth First Friday we will be joined by DJ Lai Power for a series of intimate listening sessions in Grand Union’s Bothy, on the canalside in Minerva Works!
We live in a world where society is increasingly orientated towards never ending fun for the rich and nothing but austerity and hardship for everyone else. Lai Power and her friends believe that everything should be for everyone.
Lately, Lai has been investigating bringing the healing and unifying power of music to public spaces. She and the Equaliser Soundsystem co-operative began researching and building speakers inspired by the dance music culture of New York, the UK, and Jamaica. They discovered that with enough bodging, and crafting, they could achieve high-end results for a fraction of the price. Punk-Fi if you will.
Lai will instigate each listening session by playing a track that she has been loving. Then you and the rest of the group, be it friends or strangers, are welcome to put on music that you love, of any genre.
Join us from 6–8pm, search for your favourite song on the laptop provided, and share the joy of music played through great speakers in an intimate setting.
