It starts at the Brewery...
117 years ago this hulking structure was erected to feed the city's taste for intoxication. The cavernous interior of this historic structure is the introduction to your night with performances by the Lady Circus hidden in the rafters, in the shadows and all around you. Here, the Madagascar Institute will be premiering its newest indelicate sculpture, The Emperor Satan's Roco-Coach by built by Gaylen Hamilton and made live by the infamous Zeroboy. The building is breathtaking, the performances are precarious and this is just the beginning...
It continues at the Furniture Factory...
We've converted three floors of this building into a labyrinth of music and performance including the international hip-hop all-stars from Okay Africa featuring: Baja + The Dry Eye Crew, Meta and the Cornerstones, Ishmael Kayoute and dancers from the cast of Fela! on Broadway, dj Dhundee and OP!, plus early sets from Das Racist and the unmissable Reggie Watts. Also, explore after-life themed interactive art installations alongside jump-up dance music in the antique lounge by the Vintage DJ and Peter Principle.
In the Knit Factory...
The entire Wolf + Lamb label takes over the second floor of this warm and cozy factory space with immaculately composed dance tracks featuring: Soul Clap, Slow Hands, Nicolas Jaar Live, Nick (No Regular Play), and back from around the world travel: Wolf + Lamb playing the sunrise set. On the ground floor, Image Node Crew keeps it comfortable with music and projections in the Blink Dome. Outside in the hidden yard, get hot/wet in the return of the hot-tub and all night delicious things provided by Bushwick's favorite Roberta's Brick Oven Pizza.
Also, the infamous Miami artist/design Karelle Levy will present an installation reminiscent of an Egyptian tomb. With her distinctive KREL design, this living art will be mummification made couture.
In Omega Plastics...
This unexplored warehouse is 10,000sqft. of recently abandoned space. We've left everything intact, from the dilapidated office space to the worker's lockers to the piles of disco-balls they formerly manufactured (seriously). When we stepped inside, the antiquity of the building spoke for itself. It has stories to tell. It's history will be brought to life with the The Xango Tribe building intimate experiences within domes and hidden spaces featuring live music, food and small moments of magic. The Cumba Mela Collective takes over the other half of the space with crowd pleasing global bass pulling influences from tribal house, Balkan brass, dubstep and electro. Featuring dj's: Atropiolis, Thornato and 2melo with live mc's Polo and Shanti and an orchestra of live percussion by Toca and the Ale Ale Drummers and other instrumentation.
On the street...
Halloween weekend is more than just a holiday, it's an escape, an excuse and a celebration for a city of lost children. One party can't contain your energy - you deserve more than a masquerade ball. Beyond the indoor bachanal listed above are dozens of spontaneous performances happening throughout the streets in this neighborhood wide event.
