HEADS KNOW 3-YEAR ANNIVERSARY FUNDRAISER

On May 14, we’re gathering at The Deep End in New York City for a night that feels a little more intentional than usual. This lineup came together through overlapping friendships, shared histories, and a mutual respect for each other’s work—Arielle Lana, Daedelus, Izzy Holmes, Nick Boyd, and Twaankalu. Everyone on the bill approaches sound differently, but that’s kind of the point. It’s less about cohesion on paper and more about what happens in the room when those differences meet. The Deep End felt like the right place for it — intimate, a little unpredictable, and built for actually listening as much as moving. Expect a range of textures and moods across the night, with space to settle in and moments that might catch you off guard. All proceeds from the night will go to the HEADS KNOW FUND, which distributes grants on an as-needed basis to people who are often holding scenes together without support—underground electronic and hip-hop pioneers facing urgent financial hardship, freelance culture journalists trying to complete their work, and independent promoters navigating losses or organizing events for a cause. The fund exists to make sure there’s real, tangible support for the people who shape culture—especially in moments when they need it most. If that resonates, come be part of it.
