Ash Lauryn, Brett Johnson, Shani

Current lineups and, frankly, dance floor representation may belie the fact that when house and techno first got off the ground in America, Black (and queer) communities in Chicago and Detroit were the ones making it happen. Expect Atlanta-based, Detroit-native journalist, DJ, and producer Ash Lauryn to lay down an impossibly smooth deep house set at Club Eternal on Friday at an intimate party with the heads until the wee hours. Lauryn’s Underground & Black blog and NTS Radio show platform Black artists too often unseen on dance floors so white. Underground hero DJ Shani, local Shared Frequencies Radio resident Lupie, and Might Be Magic co-host/bona fide legend Brett Johnson join. —2115629
