“Dada Strain Radio presents Duets,” a night of improvised, rhythmic and community sounds, performed by three duos embracing various styles and cultures within the tradition we call Great Black Music, with DJ support from a selector charting those roots and routes. Mind Maintenance features veteran rhythm sectioneers, Chad Taylor and Joshua Abrams, spinning patterns out of traditional African instruments. Daoui finds the multi-instrumentalist Angel Bat Dawid exploring yet another music direction, this time alongside producer/beat-maker, Oui Ennui. And the long-running duo of trumpeter/electronics player Aquiles Navarro and drummer Tcheser Holmes set the avant-funk pocket alight. DJ Lindsey Caldwell (co-founder of Negroclash; host of Sonos Sound System’s ‘Black Is Black’ program) will frame the sets with sounds from/for the old and new club.
