"Oh, man! Admire and model thyself after the whale."
—Herman Melville, as quoted in the Earthly Delights bathroom
We’re excited to be in our third edition of Swallowed Open Decks, where we’ll be hosting our first ever vinyl sets downstairs. For these, please reach out to DJ girlcrush to sign up in advance!
Then we’ll head upstairs to take over the belly of the whale. With one of the best sound systems in the city and this gorgeous space, you'll have a great time whether you play or just come to dance. Bring your friends, family, lovers—or come solo. All levels are welcome! Just bring a USB, a pair of headphones, and whatever sounds you've been playing with lately, and connect with fellow local selectors and music lovers.
If you can’t make it this time, mark your calendars for the second Tuesday every month and come by when you can.
