About the party

Eli Fola takes over the Onyx Room at House of Yes in Bushwick, currently listed for Friday, November 27, from 10 PM to 4 AM. DICE marks the night as rescheduled, and Friday, November 27 is its current date.

What to expect

A full room takeover with House of Yes's usual unannounced performances and activations. House of Yes runs a zero-tolerance policy on harassment, unwanted touch and discrimination, and asks guests to ask before touching anyone. My take: for listeners who like electronic music shaped by West African and Yoruba tradition, in a more exploratory mood than a standard club night.

Music and lineup

Per the listing, Eli Fola blends electronic, ambient, jazz and techno with traditional West African instrumentation, drawing on his Yoruba heritage, futurism and soul. Support acts and set times are not published.
