Community Bread x Fourth World 2021 w/ Justin Cudmore, Lauren Flax, Akua, Miss Parker b2b Antpuke, Word of Command, Pauli Cakes, Sauscha b2b Memphy & TT.
@community.bread first venture into the IRL rave world was beyond all expectations. This wouldn’t be possible without the fab artists, our lighting guru @kip_davis, the venue & staff, the amazing dancers & of course our brilliant partners @fourthworldnyc 💚 @tinpan_scally & @richardggamble thank you for trusting in us & letting us collaborate with what is undoubtedly NYC’s most treasured rave. We’ve been dancing at @fourthworldnyc for yrs, so to have CB’s first IRL debut be in partnership with one of our fav events was truly a dream come true. 🥰💚
That dream was realized in The Bredbox on Friday night. If you’ve watched a @community.bread livestream before, you’d know that our taste spans the gauntlet from Chicago house to hip hop to fast-paced techno. But we deliberately dialed up the intensity in The Bredbox to a specific vibe. We’ve spent 18 months off the dance floor, broke and mostly alone. Now that NYC is opening up, we wanted this rave reunion, to be a huge release of energy, rage & euphoria. ⚡️
Why waste a second with warm up, head-bopping sets when every second on the dancefloor is precious (as we’ve sadly learnt) esp when it’s taken away. So we planned The Bredbox to be blisteringly 🔥 from the get-go. In keeping with @community.bread mission of elevating marginalized voices, every artists booked to play there was also an LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC individual. 🌈
And they all read our minds, because every artist at @fourthworldnyc x @community.bread brought the 🔥 Thank you to all incredible talent, esp to those that tore The Bredbox - @laurenflax @justin_cudmore TT, @pauli.cakes @akua_b_ @antpuke @thebussycatdoll @wordofcommand @memphy & @sauscha. We haven’t felt that primal energy radiating through a room in ages. It was truly special. And clearly, that cage - nearly collapsing towards the end from ravers dancing so wildly - was much needed. Again, thank you @fourthworldnyc for never once questioning our intuition & bringing us into the fold 💚😘 We won't waste your time describing music, so scroll through this slideshow to get a refresher or alternatively see you at the next Bred - the IRL incarnation of @community.bread 😉💚
