Eleven DJs playing seven 7-inch sides is the nifty concept behind this
benefit for local nonprofit United Communities Southeast Philadelphia.
With so many different people taking a turn behind the tables, what you'll hear
over the course of the night is anyone's guess. So just come for the big
raffle of hipster-approved prizes donated by Spaceboy Records and
respected indie labels like Anti-, Sub Pop, Beggars/Matador, Plexifilm,
Domino and DimMak. Folks spinning include Andrew Jeffrey Wright and Thom
Lessner of Space1026, Sara Sherr and Maria Tessa Sciarrino of Plain
Parade, Luis Mayo of Yarn Mask, Joey Sweeney of Philebrity, Kristaps
Kreslins, Jesse Pearson of Vice Magazine, Brendan Newnam, and Laris
Kreslins of Arthur and Sound Collector. Only seven DJs were originally
scheduled, in keeping with the number-seven theme, but more kept coming on
board. As Laris Kreslins, who helped organize the night, says, "I think
it's always good to have a backup." All proceeds go toward United
Communities' mission of community stability, quality education and
economic advancement. (Doug Wallen, PW)
