Collective Memory refers to the shared pool of memories, knowledge and information of a social group that is significantly associated with the group's identity. Collective Memory is a party committed to booking artists who connect authentically with the music they select and perform. This January 24th, Collective Memory is pleased to invite a slew of profound artists who will take us through their sonic identity from 10 to 4 at none other than Bossa Nova Civic Club. Opening the night is Momahed, a talented and mysterious producer and DJ, known for his impressive livesets infusing Arabic poetry and forward thinking electronic sounds. He is followed by a sweet b2b from livwutang and Compliments. The pair went b2b on livwutang's NTS show, "Furniture Without Memories" and we can't wait to hear them live in action. livwutang sits within a modern continuum of DJs whose sound can’t be contained to one particular style or genre – she instead delivers a distinctly eclectic array of exuberant kinetics, introspective strength, & chaotic dexterity to any dancefloor she’s a part of. Beginning her DJing journey amidst the liberated frequencies of pirate radio & the psychedelic embrace of DIY rave in Seattle, her expressive practice has only continued to evolve & connect her inner world to those around her. While her style is grounded within the unifying spatial awareness of dub and the joys of dance music’s renegade sound, lifelong influences from her musical upbringing are channeled into her enthralling musical vision – an enchanting sonic palette deftly maneuvering between the jubilant rhythms of Central & Western Africa, the innovative momentum of Black American music, & an expansive love of timeless vocal flourishes and earworm melodies from the last 60 years of popular music. Compliments is a non-binary producer and DJ from Huddersfield, based in London. Their tunes and sets are heavily influenced by the wobblier sides of drum & bass, dubstep and bassline, with a pinch of nü-metal riffage thrown in for good measure. With eclectic mixes on the likes of Mantissa, 1020, Voices Radio, THF and NTS, their selections span a wide range of UK-focused flavours across the tempo spectrum. Closing out the night is Kade Young, a dance producer and DJ hailing from Baltimore, MD, championing a combined love for percussive house and Bmore club music. A fixture in the Baltimore and DC scenes, Kade lights up night club floors and warehouse spaces with a tight balance of bouncy club edits and soulful rhythms. Expanding beyond parties in the DMV, including Ultra Naté’s esteemed Deep Sugar, Hast du Feuer, and Zap Outdoorz Fest, he has graced decks in New York, Toronto, Richmond, and Miami, while a 2023 release on legendary South London label Night Slugs showcases Young’s penchant for pushing boundaries in the East Coast Club sound.
