A conversation with Juliet Mendoza.
One of the DJ selection themes we’ve been exploring this season at UltraMaroon is around what goes on in other cities. We hit up Detroit with Rimarkable, and for Pride brought in a bit of a London vibe. For IndepenDANCE we decided to go west!
If you ask the question “who is the queen of house music in Los Angeles” to anyone who knows anything, they’ll point to Juliet Mendoza. We’re really excited for her to join us, and ahead of her first gig on Fire Island we asked DavidxDaisy to help us get to know her a bit better. Check it out!
PRIDE 2023 — A conversation with King James Lee
Where as our Pride 2022 event was about celebrating Season 3, we’ve decided to make Pride 2023 a bit forward looking! This month marks the start of our goal to build bridges between our UltraMaroon community and other cities/crews making queer house music spaces.
To kick us off, we have invited King James Lee, co-founder of London’s ROAST party and creative director at London’s oldest place to rave, Eletrowerkz to help us ring in the queerest time of the year. What do we have in common with our UK siblings? Read DavidxDaisy’s feature to find out!
A conversation Tedd Patterson & David Harness
Last month at UltraMaroon we met a few legends of the Detroit House scene. This month we’re sticking with the theme of legends, but going from the midwest to the coasts. Our April show will mark Tedd Patterson’s third time playing at UltraMaroon, and this time we decided to change it up by asking him to bring San Francisco based David Harness along for some B2B fun. Ahead of that, we asked DavidxDaisy to help us get to know them both a little bit better! Check it out…
A Detroit House History Lesson with Stacey “Hotwaxx” Hale and Al Ester
Detroit is the birthplace of Techno, but what about House? In order to figure this one out we decided to join forces with the one and only Rimarkable for UltraMaroon’s first co-curation. Together we selected two of the Detroit scene’s O.G.s that could not only represent the genre/location intersection, but also the queerness and the blackness of it all: the Godmother of House, Stacey “Hotwaxx” Hale and Al Ester. They’ll be joining us on Sunday, March 19, and ahead of that we asked Daisy to help us get to know what we’re getting into. Click through — this is a special read!
