BLOG ERA R&B PARTY

WERC CREW PRESENTS: THE GROOVE

This month's R&B celebration returns with a night dedicated to the music blog era. That golden window between 2005 and 2015 when artists were quietly rewriting what R&B could sound, feel, and mean. This was music passed hand to hand through blogs and message boards, built for listeners who dug deeper than the radio. On Saturday, April 18th, we're throwing a party for everyone who spent countless hours on Okayplayer, 2DopeBoyz, The Smoking Section, OnSMASH, and NahRight discovering the latest R&B before the algorithms existed to do it for them.

Expect sounds from BJ the Chicago Kid, Jhene Aiko, Jesse Boykins III, Teedra Moses, The Weeknd, Ryan Leslie, Frank Ocean, Miguel, Foreign Exchange, Cocaine 80s, KING, The Internet, Kenna, Jazmine Sullivan, Pharrell, Nxworries, Janelle Monáe, Solange, Floetry, SZA, and way more! DJ Sets from DJ Jamad, Empress Rah, Jeremy Avalon and Thaddeus Jeffries.

Date + Time: Saturday, April 18th 10p-3am

Location: 404.EXE 736 Ponce De Leon Ave NE Suite 17, Atlanta, GA 30306, United States
