ABOV: FLINTA NYC

ABOV is a FLINTA* collective led by the NYC couple DJ Volvox and Dominga (aka Follakzoid). FLINTA* is an umbrella term representing female, lesbian, inter*, non-binary/enby, trans*, and agender people. ABOV is a safe space created by FLINTA* for FLINTA*, for all the beauties that have ever been harassed, discriminated against or worse just for being themselves. We are very excited to announce TYGAPAW is our headliner bringing a powerful closing set from 3-6am. TYGAPAW (aka Dion McKenzie) has just released a third full-length album on Tresor Records entitled Together You Gather All Power Applied Worldwide. An acronym of its creator’s name, TYGAPAW’s third studio album is a deeply personal collection of music building worlds where Black queer and trans siblings can thrive, while unifying dancefloors worldwide. A proposition that collective wisdom liberates us from the matrix of domination we live within. The album unfolds as the latest chapter in TYGAPAW’s ongoing techno opera opus, continuing to center the voices of Black women, which surface as layered incantations rather than lyrics – powerful, haunting, sensual, activating. Setting the tone for the night we have x3butterfly, a Mexican/American DJ and producer originally from Detroit now busily gracing lineups at top clubs and festivals. Drawing inspiration from early industrial and techno pioneers, x3butterfly’s sets retain a raw and ominous quality, with a club twist. Prioritizing the eclectic, they lead listeners on a genre defying journey while expertly keeping the floor fully locked in. VOLVOX and DOMINGA's near-telepathic intuitive connection has resulted in some of the most bracing techno sets today. Across the globe the name DJ Volvox has become synonymous with surgical mixing technique and a certain square-shooting, take-no-prisoner approach towards dance floor business. Here she joins forces with Sacred Bones artist, model, filmmaker and and globally renowned trans icon, Dominga of the cult band Follakzoi
