You’d be forgiven for thinking that global phenomenon @BENEEMUSIC was really your friendly neighbour at her show at Reunion Park - an intergenerational affair bonding kids, teens and millennials alike.

The idea behind our spoken word series is facilitating collaborations between writers and musicians. Whether that be a guitarist improvising to a spoken word piece, or a writer adding fragmented thoughts to experimental noise - we want to hear from you <3

🍋 “Silk” and “Lemon” are the first two offerings from @moktarmusic’s forthcoming debut EP on Steel City Dance Discs—an explosion of nostalgia and spiritual freedom wrapped in the veil of Middle Eastern percussive beats.

"Tattooing is an exchange. A process of trust. We create space for new layers of self perception and learn to embrace the splitting of the Chrysalis, the slow unfolding of the wings".
