Mindchatter
Headliner: MindchatterHailing from NYC, Mindchatter is the artist project of singer, songwriter, and producer Bryce Connolly. After his debut single “Trippy” dropped in 2019, Mindchatter quickly gained recognition for his genre-defying sound and unique approach to music. By fusing introspective and thought-provoking lyrics with infectious, danceable beats, Mindchatter earned early praise from the likes of Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. He was subsequently invited on tour with Polo & Pan where he first debuted his live show. 2020 saw the rising artist release his debut album, Imaginary Audience in October of that year. He’s since followed up with his sophomore album, DREAM SOUP, which was recognized as one of 2022’s 22 game-changing albums by EDM.com. Mindchatter’s live performance is where he stands apart, bringing an immersive live set with a one-of-a-kind visual experience. He first gave fans a taste of this audio-visual spectacle while on his debut headline tour in the fall of 2021 before embarking on his 14-city 2022 DREAM SOUP Tour that featured sold-out stops at Brooklyn’s Elsewhere, LA’s The El Rey Theatre, and many other venues, as well as a stop at Coachella’s DoLab. The back half of the year saw a festival run that included appearances at Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, iii Points, Format Festival, Splash House, Hulaween, Okeechobee, and many others. He also played alongside Polo & Pan once more as direct support before closing out 2022 with a direct support run with SG Lewis that included stops at marquee venues like The Brooklyn Mirage and LA’s Greek Theater. In 2023, Mindchatter signed with Foreign Family Collective and has an all-new EP in the works. He’s also back on the road, having played a reimagined live show on Lightning In A Bottle’s main stage. Prior to that, he kicked off 2023 with two sold-out special guest DJ appearances alongside Walker & Royce at New York’s Knockdown Center and LA’s Shrine Expo Hall setting the stage for his biggest year yet.Support: Familiar Faces

Smile and Wave Presents: LYNY, FLY, EVAN RILEY, HYDROGLYPH, and TASTE OF SPACE
Smile and Wave Productions is back with another stratospheric event at Warehouse on Watts. On Friday, November 10th we present to the community a symphonic lineup that blends together multiple genres for a seamless cohesion of artists. The night starts at 9pm with opener Taste of Space and continues with Hydroglyph, Evan Riley, Fly and our final headliner LYNY.LYNY’s growth as an artist has been inescapable and he’s only just begun leaving his mark on the scene. He is pushing the boundaries of electronic music by discovering and combining new cutting-edge sounds with melodic compositions. His approach to bass music is heavily influenced by Hip-Hop and trap beats with a splash of R&B. He strives to balance his songs with heart wrenching basslines, arpeggiated melodies, hard hitting drums, and often throws in recognizable vocal chops.
The Shakedown 22 Year Anniversary w. Jimpster (live) + Rick Wade
The Shakedown has been Philadelphia’s longest running house music event for 22 years consistently every 2nd Saturday of the month. It was created by Rob Paine & Willyum as a showcase for the artists releasing on Worship Recordings. Rob & Will felt the void in Philly for this kind of music being presented the way it was meant to be. So they took a page out of the Jamaican sound system culture and created their own machine that is still in use to this day! Full line up: Jimpster (live) Rick Wade Rob Paine Willyum Ty Salone

On & On present 1984 feat. Traxx (Nation, Chicago) AND Premiere of “Panoramic Coloursound” Film
1984 is a Philadelphia-based synth-wave dance party presented quarterly by vinyl DJs On & On, since 2015. We play roots and offshoots of the underground synth-wave sounds of the 80s, including italo, electro, -wave genres, EBM, New Beat, early acid & techno. For our third 1984 of the year, on Friday September 29th we provide a rare opportunity for Philadelphia lovers of the raw, gritty and ecstatic edges of modern dance music to witness a presentation by the world’s most sought-after decknician, Traxx. Join us for a memorable night.Screening of “Panoramic Coloursound” Events kick off at 5pm with the east coast premiere screening of “Panoramic Coloursound” by The Creative Technology Consortium (CTC) of Chicago will be hosted by On & On as part of their quarterly installment of 1984. The music for the film, itself conceived as cinematic in the first place, comes from the eponymous April 2023 album by CTC on Dark Entries Records (SF). CTC comprises Cooper, Jason Letkiewicz and Andrew Bisenius, who according to Bandcamp, “forged the CTC during the depths of pandemic isolation”, and created “Panoramic Coloursound … inspired by film and television music of the 80’s/90’s, armed with a mighty array of vintage analog and digital synthesizers…exploring heists, vices, and catastrophe.” It’s brilliant and absorbing music, a fresh but retro take on Berlin School-style experimental soundscapes, filtered through the perspective of artists steeped in a certain Chicago tradition of directness and rawness. The film is a unique audio-visual experience, soundtracked by all 25 songs from the Panoramic Coloursound album. The screening will be a two-hour-plus collage of film and TV clips old and new, an exploration of vintage synth-created dystopian FM and decaying digital soundscapes. A one-time feast for the senses, this regional premiere will take place from 5-7pm in Cambridge Hall at Warehouse on Watts. Cooper as the spokesperson of CTC will answer questions about the making of the film and album afterward and invite discussion until 8pm, ahead of the start of 1984 at 9pm. Food and beverages will be available on-site, and audience members are encouraged to bring portable seating and other comfort items for the 3-hour audio-visual experience. Admission is $15, or FREE for 1984 event ticketholders. For $5 more filmgoers can attend 1984 ($20). Film and Artist Q&A: 5pm-8pm 1984 Music event: 9pm
