Where Were You – A Ron Hardy Documentary Fundrasier Party

Doors 20:00

‘I Was There’ is a documentary in the making on Ron Hardy and the Rise of House Music from Chicago and the Midwest. The film’s aim is to keep Ron’s story alive for future generations as well as putting House’s narrative back in the hands of its originators.

The film will explore the early evolution of House and music as a response to inequality, racism, Reaganomics, the AIDS crisis and civil unrest.

All entry fees will go towards shooting the film’s next interview Chicago in November with the legendary Robert Williams – the man responsible for giving Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles their starts, as the founder of The Muzic Box and The Warehouse.

The film is being made with the collaboration and supervision of Bill Hardy and the Hardy Family. Dress to sweat. Doors open at 20:00 Pitch teaser for the film in the links below featuring interviews with Robert Owens and Jamie 3:26.

03/10 Moodroom By Day

Returning to our favourite dancefloor to see out the summer and usher in autumn, we gather for an extended run stretching from afternoon into night, with a slew of kindred selectors making their Moodroom debut across the day. Warming up the party is ronni65, an alias of Berlin-based DJ Stornoline, better known for high-speed bootleg sounds and boundary-pushing B2Bs. Born from fruitful sessions in ://about blank’s Sektgarten, the ronni65 project sees her exploring the slower, deeper reaches of house. Ajaanib brings together Moodroom resident CJ Schneider and his best friend and musical other half, Rory. Their B2B celebrates a bond born in the north of England, deepened between Beirut and Berlin, and honed through countless after-hours mixing sessions. Together, they guide the dance floor from afternoon glow into the onset of darkness. Amino and Chris return with another AMG special, their chemistry honed through a year of back-to-backs. Delivered with the dynamism, joy and meticulous care, expect a belter-studded ascent through pulsing, muscular terrain. SCAM DJs make their Moodroom debut, two nightlife workers, Sam and Cam, who have dedicated their lives to scamming DJs. Their scheme runs on techy bangers, big breakdowns and boisterous gesticulations, and more than a few dance floor curveballs. Moodroom stalwart Martha O. returns to bring the party home for a second time. Her quality and versatility as a selector are long since proven, placing the final stretch of revelry in the safest of hands. Gracing Fitzroy this October with his visual projections is Danimation, a multimedia artist and VJ who has worked some of house music’s most storied festivals, among them Dimensions, Freerotation, and Omana.

For this edition, we will raise funds for Statefree World e.V. Statelessness affects an estimated 15 million people worldwide. No one chooses to be stateless, yet in a world organised around nation-states, those affected are frequently excluded from public life and face significant barriers to healthcare and education. Statefree World e.V. is Germany’s first charity and advocacy organisation dedicated to supporting people affected by statelessness and raising awareness of the issue. More than 120,000 people in Germany are affected, many of whom were born here. Led by a small, young team whose members are themselves stateless, Statefree World advocates for policy change and better recognition of statelessness.
