We are excited to welcome Chuck Gunn for our newest installment. Bay Area transplant by-way of Los Angeles, Chuck Gunn is a resident and co-founder of Joy Tactics, an underground warehouse party based out of LA. His fresh take on house music is influenced by labels like Perlon, Pressure Traxx, and Sushitech. Chuck’s sets are known for their slick drum loops, spaced out voice-overs, and extraterrestrial soundscapes.
We kick off Pride being led down a rabbit hole by Gorgonzola, the green alien plushie, following along on one of her wild nights. A soundtrack to her evening, she guides us into deep astral terrains, leading further into the abyss of galactic bouncy 4/4 rhythms. Percussive washes diminish into hard stomping soulful house braiding in declarations of identity, love, strength, and liberation. This month we’re dancing in outer space.
