Streaming online on raiono radio 

Online panel with Turkana, Folly Ghost and Shasti, hosted by Fadescha (Party Office) and Dovilė Lapinskaitė (raiono radio) 

Party Office is an anti-caste, antiracist, trans*feminist, kink affirmative and queer-anarchist art and social space. They host HyperVigilant, a ProBSDM* party that centres the joy of Trans*, BbIPoC and people with disabilities. Party Office know from direct experience that for the divergent, there is always additional work of managing effects of systemic violence and trauma, accounted for and held within the bodies of those most impacted. This does not dissolve at the door. Their party insists on acknowledging and minimising the exhaustion that comes with negotiating dancefloor euphoria against aggressions by ableist, cis-heteronormativity. 

Party Office for 48h raiono radio live in Nida invite artists and organisers of nightlife whose practices assert care for their communities, making the dance floor a site of joy and offering a fleeting moment of escapism from the heteropatriarchy.

Turkana sees the dancefloor as a battleground that feeds on the tension between oppression and liberation. She likes to attack the dancefloor without compromise but always with fierceness and grace. She plays leftfield African electronics, hard dance, non-normative techno and underground from the global South. When she’s not making or playing music she loves to contemplate on the meaning and passing of time. Upcoming release on Hakuna Kulala. DJ and a founding member of the Anti-mass collective, a queer collective from Uganda.

Beyond his work behind the decks, he also organizes and curates talks about a wide variety of subjects involving music and more. Max is a proud instigator of social and political debates and an avid advocate for diversity in clubs and beyond. His experience as a trans immigrant motivates him to incite conversations about discrimination and colonialism that aim to locate and dismantle normalised violence against marginalised people.
