Electric Pow Wow
“The group are navigating the gap between the interests of their club crowd and an arts crowd. ‘We are going to shake up the CMC, like literally.’ says Witness ‘Our music tends to do that. We want to shake those archives up. Shake ‘em old bones. It’s like we are going in there to play for those people, those energies that are stuck in that space. It is going to be a lot different energy than playing in a club…It is such a charged space, being in the CMC, the history of the CMC and all the artifacts, belongings and well, people who are housed there. It is an interesting space to take over.’

With three DJ’s playing at the same time, they alternate at taking the lead with DJ Shub adding scratches and flares using more ‘traditional’ turntables. ‘We work as a group, more than three DJs on stage doing their own thing’ says DJ NDN ‘Sort of like a band almost, but not really. We are all improvising with our own instruments.’”
