Blacktronika is honored to partner with Summerstage for two significant events in New York City, Central Park and Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park.

The Central Park (Aug. 16 4PM) program will feature an ‘eclectrifying’ DJ set from King Britt B2B Charlie Dark, a spiritual house set by Brooklyn’s Joe Claussell, the debut live performance of Detroit icon Waajeed, an uplifting set from Detroit’s Rimarkable, and a live headlining performance by acid house pioneers Phuture & Dj Pierre from Chicago.

The Harlem (Aug 17 - Marcus Garvey Park, 5PM) program will present a distinguished tribute to the legendary #PaulRobeson, featuring Dr. Shana Redmond, Vijay Iyer, and LaFrae Sci. Additional performances include an improvisational set from Brooklyn’s Sonic Messengers, a debut collaboration between visionary artists Joy Guidry and Niecey Blues, and an exploration of the Black Quantum Futurism universe (Camae Ayewa and Rasheedah Phillips).

We invite you to join us for two transformative days of intellectual and artistic engagement, celebrating the convergence of mind and Black sound.

The long running hip-hop band performed songs across their catalog, and included a cover of Main Source’s “Looking at the Front Door,” a nod to MC Large Professor’s origins from Flushing.
