Description
Mx Sunday is part of a nonstop weekend-long Pride festival taking place across the indoor and outdoor Nowadays spaces from Saturday, June 28 through Sunday, June 29 in coordination with Body Hack. The entire weekend, including our party, will fundraise for GLITS, an organization founded by Ceyenne Doroshow that provides immediate crisis support, healthcare access, and stable housing for transgender and sex worker communities in New York City.
For this edition of the party, we present our second musical takeover of the season, with Shaun J. Wright and Kilopatrah Jones in the DJ booth.
Kilopatrah Jones is a Queens-raised DJ and dancer and long-time attendee of Mister Sunday. They have an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that have one foot in the Sound Factory–era glory days of NYC and the sweaty BPMs of the cutting edge of New York's current club sounds.
This will be Shaun J. Wright's second turn in the DJ booth at Mister Sunday, not to mention their innumerable spiritual turns emanating from our speakers. (Their 2012 song "Face Love Anew" with Stereogamous got a regular working at the party for many years before they first came and DJed for us.) When they played last time, it was clear they had not only invested years and years of dedication and time into learning the craft of DJing but also in understanding the musical direction of our dance floor. They unearthed songs that had been old classics of Mister Sunday and Mister Saturday Night, recontextualizing them amongst their own new discoveries and the deep knowledge they've amassed from years in the clubs of their hometown, Chicago.
It's gonna be a very special day in the back yard.

Welcome to Mister Sunday. Whether you've been at it with us since day one or you're new to the party, we look forward to seeing you here. All we ask is that you put away your phone and dance while you're on the dance floor. There's plenty of space in the sun and the shade otherwise for a chat and a hang, and we'll have excellent Mexican food for you throughout the party, a wide variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks at the bar and water throughout the space, always free and easy to access.
