We first heard of Madison Moore a few years back when @nmb21125 - from our beloved CB collective Pure Immanence - showed us his book, ‘Fabulous: The Rise of The Beautiful Eccentric’. Needless to say, we were gagged. As the title suggests, the book is a compelling piece of pop queer theory that takes you on a journey through vogue balls, instagram, nightclubs & street fashion. When all is said and done, ‘Fabulous’ is about how marginalized people turn pain and struggle into opulence.
We were obsessed with this Madison Moore book and equally obsessed with his truly fabulous DJ sets having seen him play at NYC underground techno night Unter several times (a particular highlight was his c*nty AF yet uplifting and powerful set at Unter Pride ’19). Weaving cinematic soundscapes with the romantic, emotive shades of dark techno, Moore’s sound flourishes of sassy brilliance. Or in his words ‘severe and sickening’.
Evidently, Madison Moore wears many hats - a Cultural Critic, DJ, Assistant Professor for Queer studies at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond & former architect of iconic queer London event series Opulence. But It’s become clear that whatever Moore endeavors to do, he imbues these projects with the authenticity of his lived experience, academic expertise and passion for melding together the worlds of techno, aesthetics and nightlife. And by bringing together these worlds, there is an underlying mission to uplift artists of color, and shine a light on the the queer, femme & trans experience. Something that @community.bread is very much aligned with. We are so excited to have the brilliant Madison Moore onboard. 💚🔥💚

Community Bread is the first queer-owned livestream and resource platform connecting audiences around the world with marginalized DJs, performers, artists so they can easily receive donations to offset economic hardship during this global pandemic. We offer resources on how to donate, action and support the Black Lives Matter movement as well as info on how to apply for government grants and emergency funding for artists. The website also features a schedule of queer-focused digital events and a global directory of collectives that have been shaping their local queer communities.
Roughly once a month, CB curates an audio / visual stream which involves DJs, performances and interviews from marginalized artists in different scenes, communities and cultures. Focusing on supporting these creatives along with an LGBTQ+ aligned organization, we have collectively raised over $10,000 over 4 streams, all of which was split between the artists and the charities such as The Trans Women of Color Collective, G.L.I.T.S., & ORAM.
We have a growing roster of queer collectives that have made an impact on their local communities including Herrensauna, Honcho, Mala Junta, BOUND, Bushwig, Large Marge, The Carry Nation, Black Hole, Eternal Dragonz, FIST, Floorgasm, ALT, Visceral, Video Club, Bubble T, Bulto, Apocalypse Tonight, Pure Immanence, Intimas.
