ALEXIS TUCCI + RAGZ

Friday, November 27th

There are certain people whose names keep appearing in the chapters of your musical life. Different cities, different dance floors, different moments in time. And somehow, the music always finds a way of bringing you together again.

Alexis Tucci happens to be one of those people.

From St. Louis to the dusty stretches of Burning Man, we've shared music, memories and a few rather lovely moments behind the decks. This November, we get to add another chapter. And this one's happening in our little room.

Alexis's story, however, began long before our paths crossed.

At just 15, she discovered the magic of her first warehouse party. By 17, she was already throwing raves of her own, helping create the very community she had fallen in love with.

More than three decades later, she's still at it. From her beloved Nightchaser parties in St. Louis to the wonderfully unhinged Monday morning dance floors at Lightning in a Bottle, Alexis has made something of an art out of keeping the music and the people moving.

Her musical universe is a wonderfully tangled web of disco, funk, soul and house, with a healthy appetite for Afro rhythms, unexpected detours and a little improvisation. She's even been known to bring live jazz and blues musicians along for the ride.

But perhaps what we admire most is the spirit behind it all. That unmistakable joy of sharing music, of finding your people, of creating a little magic in a room full of strangers who somehow don't feel like strangers anymore.

And isn't that why we're all still doing this?

And because one musical adventure deserves another...

We're delighted to have RAGZ of Naya Beat Records opening the evening.

Born to Indian parents and raised in Switzerland, Ragz has spent much of his musical life following his curiosity wherever it takes him. Across continents, through countless record shops and into the forgotten corners of musical history.

An obsessive digger in the loveliest sense, he's also the co-founder of LA's Naya Beat Records alongside Turbotito. Together, they've been breathing new life into overlooked South Asian dance and electronic music, giving forgotten grooves another chance to find their way onto dance floors.

Some of you may remember Ragz from a rather special evening back in 2024, when he helped bring the legendary Asha Puthli to our little room. He even managed to squeeze in a short set before Asha took the stage, making for one of those evenings we're still rather fond of. And if memory serves us correctly, we may have kept Asha up a little past her bedtime. 😉

Funny how one lovely evening can lead to another. This November, Ragz will have a little more time to wander through his record collection, and we have a feeling there are a few surprises tucked away in there. With a bit more room to let the records do the talking, we can't wait to hear what they have to say.

Oh, and one little twist this month...

We're trading our usual Saturday gathering for a FRIDAY affair. A little change of scenery on the calendar, if you will.

We've got the records, we've got the room, and hopefully you've cleared your Friday evening.

All that's missing is you. What happens after that? Well, we'd hate to spoil the surprise. 😉
