Weekly Sat from 7pm-10pm, May 16 to June 27, via Zoom Video Broadcast
In celebration of Black Music Month, Wa Na Wari and LANGSTON are partnering to present 2(06) The Break, a seven episode series that takes a uniquely local ‘spin’ on the live streaming DJ sessions popularized by cultural icons like Questlove and DJ D-Nice via social media these past two months. Each week, Jazmyn Scott, Seattle hip hop supporter and co-curator of the 2015 Legacy of Seattle Hip-Hop exhibit at MOHAI, will pair two Pacific Northwest hip hop DJs per episode to collaboratively program and record a set composed exclusively of songs by local hip hop artists of a specific era, from the 1980s to the present. Each DJ set will be presented in a live stream program hosted by two local hip hop luminaries who will bring their unique insight to the tracks in the program and the local culture and music scene of the era represented in the episode.
The weekly series will begin on Saturday May 16,, 2020 and will conclude on Saturday June 27, 2020. It will stream via a Zoom video broadcast. Episode details, including DJs and panelists will be announced soon. Check wanawari.org/events.html for updates.
