To close off the first month of Spring and signify a shift into brighter days and longer dances, we’re hosting legendary Bronx-based DJ and producer Kush Jones at New Guernica, Friday September 30th.

Hosted on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country in Naarm, be prepared to witness Kush’s knowledge of the sounds embedded in the streets of New York woven with Chicago Footwork, Jersey Club and a rich selection of stylings from across the map.

Equipped with years of experience behind the production desk since teenagehood, it’s no surprise that this lends itself to a mastery of the craft of DJing for Kush. What’s more fascinating is his ability to fuse classical and contemporary influences into an enigmatic mixing style not only informed by the history and culture of black music, but also underpinned by his personal family roots. Expect an intricate vision of what the future of dance music in NY holds.

Supporting him on the night are Naarm-based artists Darcy Justice, Kuya Neil, SAL

Downstairs: Samair B2B Sophie McAlister.

10pm - late
