Live Music

The evening will feature vinyl DJ sets by very much romance, d.tekx, & zz:
very much romance, formed by Kate and Miro, have been collecting and playing records for the greater part of life. VMR plays dance music across genres for the body and mind. They throw Come Relax with Us and are a part of renegade Down Under, etc, building out little worlds in non-club locations in the Bay Area.
d.tekx lives in between atmospheric techno, dub, & heavy bass. His monthly residency on Lower Grand Radio, Cold Summer, explores electronic music past, present, and future. Drawing strong inspiration from different sub-pockets of electronic scenes, he has featured sets on stations ranging from SutroFM to TOHA Radio.
zz is the creator of "notes of moss”. In her DJ sets, she explores sound through space, texture, and storytelling.
Music for the evening is curated by notes of moss - a nature-inspired music project rooted in community collaboration, storytelling, and environment-based listening experiences.
