MUSINGS FROM SOUND GROUND

DANCE PARTIES AS RITUAL

What does this mean to us?

Being in the field of dance parties, it’s a great question to ask. There are a lot of different ways the music scene can look. Sound Ground is just one particular flavor.

What it boils down to for us is R I T U A L.

When you dissect it, a dance party can posses all the elements necessary for ritual. These elements are as follow: creation of environment, practice of intention, bringing presence, deep appreciation, contemplation, connection to aspiration, lifting to sacredness and held in gratitude.

Over the next run of parties I’m going to share some musings on each of these ingredients in an email. I will also invite you to the party that is next up, duh.

Let’s dive in.

If you hold space for dance floors, #1 is paramount.

Creation of environment; I believe there is a bit of a cultural epidemic afoot when it comes to the creation of environment for dance parties. Producers and promoters often get single tracked in only setting and decorating space, what they miss is that the creation of environment is more energetic than anything else.

This is full on IYKYK at this point but to be honest who doesn’t know? We’re welcoming back our fearless and grounded leader Ramona Wouters to take us on a long playing afternoon journey upon the storied blacktop of the Fort Green Patio. Come help the day transition tonight as we journey together.

RAMONA WOUTERS

Half Belgian and half Dutch, Ramona spent her youth bouncing between Antwerp and Amsterdam throughout the early 90s. Growing up on Belgian techno and the Dutch love of house music instilled in her an early appreciation for contrast and balance between these two genres of music.

Ramona’s sound weaves together a tapestry of melodies, textures and beats, reflecting more than two decades of extensive world travel. Always conscious of the energy of her audience, her sensitivity stems from a love of dancing, and results in an emotive, sensual style that exudes a rich array of feeling. It is Ramona’s way of giving back and getting back to that vital place we all go when the music feels right.
💃🏽
Party 3p-9p (21+)
💃🏽
Conjure Productions will take care of the sound. Fort Greene Bar will be serving up smiles and their lovely bar menu all evening. Oysterwulf will be shucking the freshest oysters anywhere between the Atlantic and Pacific.
💃🏽
As ever, our Safe Space Ethos will apply so don’t try any funny sh*t. You will be greeted with more details at the door.

In the words of Ramona “Let’s Chachacha!”

Chris Schwarzwälder:

As a producer, musician, DJ and serial collaborator, Chris Schwarzwälder’s distinctive style of deep, restrained house is hard to pin down, but you’ll always know it’s him when you hear it.
Born in Frankfurt am Main in the 80s, he started playing hiphop in the 90s. While making beats on his MPC2000, he dropped into Offenbach’s Robert Johnson club and fell in love with techno.
In 2009, Chris moved to Berlin and started DJing at KaterHolzig, where he found a group of people who thought about music in the same way he did. In contrast to the trends of the late 00s, the sounds being made from this little paradise on Berlin’s river Spree were slower, softer, and more soulful than a lot of what was being played in clubs at the time.
It was here that Chris began to cement his reputation as both a solo producer and collaborator, who was capable of bringing his trademark sounds to a whole number of side-projects - many of which have gone on to play to crowds around the globe. He joined the Feathered Sun collective in 2013, together with a group of friends including Acid Pauli, Nu, Jo.Ke and Raz O’Hara. Dreamy, groovy and often improvised, the collective represented a special kind of musical freedom in which a group of producers came together to create something new in a singular, live moment.
At the same time, Chris’ friend Mira was making moves of her own, and they started to play back-to-back sets, soundtracking the legendary Monday mornings of KaterHolzig, and now, Kater Blau. The two, who are both residents at Kater Blau, have now been playing together internationally for almost a decade, and have formed a common musical understanding that translates throughout every one of their sets - deep, clubby and melancholic. This partnership has also carried on into the studio, where they have collaborated on numerous hits.

We live in a world of contrast and compliment. It is when we are most purely ourselves that we can integrate most meaningfully into community meant for us. True community is made up of one fiercely unique being and another and another and another. Community thrives not on the ways of conformity but rather the expression of individuality. The container that can hold the radical individual is the container that can hold all. And so, in the spirit of contrast and compliment we invite you to SUNANDMOON. Let’s explore the synergy that arises when we are the truest version of ourselves.
🌞&🌕
Martha and Lotte take the helm for a b2b extravaganza to lead us on a journey the likes of which this continent has never seen. These are two of our absolute favorite
music makers each with unique and expressive styles.
Together they will pull from musical disciplines anywhere upon this beautiful planet where the sun sets and the moon rises. Words cannot capture just how excited we are for this Sunday afternoon party. We will continue to drop hints at the magic that awaits knowing full well they will do no justice to the magic of the moments itself.
