Description
Public Records proudly presents the return of the chameleonic dance floor provocateur, trailblazing DJ and producer, and Comatonse founder, **DJ Sprinkles** \[the moniker of Terre Thaemlitz\]. Born in Minnesota and growing up in Missouri, Thaemlitz moved to NYC in the mid-80’s to find respite in the city’s queer community and bubbling house scene where she soon found herself fully entrenched in its grit and glam, holding a residency at the transsexual club Sally's, running a mixtape series called Deeperama, and earning high praise \[incl. a Grammy\] for his mixing skills as Sprinkles and under her birth name.
Thaemlitz’ roots in this queer underground have always informed her productions, whether it be her ambient-leaning releases of the mid-90s, her club-oriented deep house cuts or digital jazz explorations, and helps to create a framework in which she explores themes of identity politics – including gender, sexuality, class, linguistics, ethnicity and race. In 1998 she released her first Sprinkles release, the 12" single "Sloppy 42nds," on Comatonse \[her own imprint\] and after a decade, released her first full length Midtown 120 Blues. It will be a transformative night and a real life play out of the sonic genesis of queer club culture. Opening the night is PR's own **Jenifa Maynaja** laying down deep 90s house to set things up.
Limited tickets will be sold at the door.
