618 and Black Techno Matters proudly present an uncompromising night of sonic warfare with one of the true architects of Detroit’s future-forward sound: DJ Stingray 313. Famed for his unrelenting electro sets, masked mystique, and militant commitment to underground culture, Stingray puts needle to record with purpose. This event marks a transmission from the vanguard of Black electronic music, straight from the Motor City to the heart of DC.
Congregate with us in the corridors of Chinatown as we morph 618 into a pressure chamber of rhythmic ecstasy and feverish distortion. Stingray’s signature blends of high-velocity electro, cerebral techno, and raw machine funk will roar through the newly installed Martin audio sound system alongside a meticulously curated lineup of local and national selectors pushing the Black techno tradition forward.
Presented by Black Techno Matters, whose mission is to amplify the Black roots and future of techno, and 618, ome of DC’s havens for boundary-pushing nightlife, this night promises to be something special. Whether you’re a disciple of Detroit or searching for something that holds true to the underground roots of raving, we invite you to follow the signal path with us. Tickets available now. Systems armed.
