Without yall this work would not have been possible

on may 23rd in progress ↺ brings you our second edition, a cozy evening of lush textural sound sculpture, ambient, downtempo, and deep listening at @spirethechurch in oakland

☆ oakland based fiber installation and performance artist, @swilkwork, connects people to the gestures of resilience that emerge from grief, particularly in the context of queer history. they will be performing a special improvised solo performance (recently debuted at nyfw) in conjunction with a dj set by in progress host shapes.

☆ sf based via new york dj, @babymfleo, will be joining us for a special two hour set.

the @dripping.fyi co-founder amalgamates a lifetime immersed in underground music into thrillingly twisted dj sets. he draws from a web of radical influences: a decade as frontman for the landmark death metal band Animosity; years working at the forefront of psychedelics in cultivation and sonic healing; and deep immersion in NYC and SF’s thriving rave and sound system subcultures. with an emphasis on pure physicality, baby leo shows music’s potential for radical liberation and the sublime joy of authentic human connection.

☆ in progress host xin xin (@tifflaw) will be setting the tone for the evening with an opening journey of ambient and downtempo
