Chrysalis has spent the winter nestled deep inside our cocoons, perfecting our forms, working on our transformations. Now we’ve cooked up another evening of low-end metamorphosis… and this one’s especially for the girls! This edition of Chrysalis brings you an all-trans-femme lineup reimagining the legacies and futures of UK bass music, from dubstep and grime to garage and 2-step, sure to heat up the dancefloor with heavyweight intensity and sensual groove.
Heading up the lineup is Introspekt, one of the guiding lights of modern garage, bass, and all things 140. She’ll be joined by PA’s Andrea Burns and Philly’s Lexieglass, each of whom channels a love for soundsystem music and bass pressure to concoct high-energy and imaginative sets for turnt dancefloors. Trust us y’all, you won’t want to miss this!
Emerging from the Philly dance music underground and organized by Amylia and DJ Papaya, Chrysalis is an occasional party series rooted in collective transformation and free-form raving.
