MERGE x SANDWELL DISTRICT

On Friday, March 27th we invite one of the genre's most celebrated and singular voices into our home - SANDWELL DISTRICT. The collective, most notably comprised of UK's Regis and NY's Function, has had an immense impact on MERGE, and it is a true honor to present the modern incarnation of the project - an idea that sparked from a memorable conversation with the late Juan Mendez (aka Silent Servant) months after he closed our MERGE INTO 2023 event. Juan contributed musically, but also as the project's Art Director - crafting what is no doubt the most iconic visual identity within techno - period. Sandwell District will play an extended hybrid set. Our beloved Rrose, a MERGE regular, who has released on the original Sandwell District label returns. Sarah Wreath, who recently contributed to the Sandwell District "End Beginnings" album, joins us from Berlin. Newly minted International MERGE resident Phase Fatale kicks off his residency with his new LIVE set. MERGE residents Ne/Re/A, Juana, and Auspex do their thing -  marking the first time all current residents play together.  --- Artwork: Classic Sandwell District iconography by Silent Editions and reinterpreted by MERGE Art Director, David Padilla  --- An email with event details/location will be sent to ticketholders at 9pm on 2/27! We'll have a robust team working to ensure the vibes and our guests are safe and comfortable. Admittance is at the discretion of our door staff. Tickets do NOT guarantee entry, and removal for violation of any of our policies below do not constitute a refund. --- Merge is a Brooklyn-based, queer party that aims to cultivate sonic liminoid experiences through techno music. We will work together to incubate the collective queer body, and experience its transformation under the influence of techno. We seek release, mutual understanding, deeper access to the personal, interconnected, and ethereal. We honor the sound through dance, self expression, and hyper-immersion. --- We have zero tolerance for physical, verbal, or sexual harassment. This includes non-consensual touching, violence, discriminatory language, or any behaviors that have a negative impact on the experience or the physical safety of other guests. If a problem or concern arises, guests are encouraged to locate a staff member for assistance. While on the dance floor, we encourage guests to keep conversations to a minimum and phones in their pockets. Come correct and ready to sweat!
