Spencer Sweeney and Andrew
Kuo, both multi-instrumentalists and visual artists,
represent a scene of culturally ravenous artists and individuals whose
uncompromisingly creative vision is the lifeblood of New York City’s downtown.
The two have gathered their circle of creatives to essentially resurrect the
cult favorite residency Sessions at Santa’s and expand its vision, resulting in
a new social experiment dedicated to freedom entitled EMERGENCY PARTY.
At the helm of the roster of
residents are Lizzi Bouagatsos (IUD)
and Brian Degraw (Smiths
Night), also of Gang Gang Dance, throwing down unpredictable sets. Also
confirmed are DJ’s Tim Barber, Nick Relph, Rachel Chandler, Sweeney and Kuo will be
hitting the decks themselves, and in the house will be MC’s Telfar,
Shayne, Allan (The Legend). “Freedom Jams” are the name of the game,
and the mammoth upstairs system at Santos will be blasting tunes to
expand the mind and coax the will to dance. The party will also
feature guest appearances, live sets, pop-up art sessions and oddball curators
on a weekly basis. Weird is back with a vengeance.
