Blacktronika Festival: Phuture / Waajeed / Rimarkable / Joe Claussell / Charlie Dark / King Britt

Born as a movement in London from 1999–2005, Blacktronika honors innovators of color in electronic music and explores the intersections of Black music and technology. Co‑founder Charlie Dark and DJ/producer King Britt have carried the torch, expanding Blacktronika into a DJ class and festival celebrating pioneers of house, techno and experimental electronics.

This Central Park edition features a live performance by acid house pioneers Phuture, a debut live set from Detroit icon Waajeed, uplifting grooves from DJ Rimarkable and a spiritual house journey led by Joe Claussell. King Britt and Charlie Dark team up for a rare back‑to‑back DJ set, inviting you to experience the past, present and future of Black electronic music.
