[08/08/2024] šæ ļ¼ļ¼/ļ¼ļ¼/ļ¼ļ¼ šæ
on the most auspicious day to time travel, dancer designer Grace Hwang (
@iamgracehwang) + i are finally popping open our 90s time capsule š 2023 marked my 30th, dad's 60th, + popo's 90th birthdays. a year+ in the making, 30/60/90 is a time portal back to the era that birthed this lil 9ļøā£0ļøā£s baby
handmade with love like the ones i slipped into friends' lockers + nervously made for crushes growing up (still), a box set of 3 cd mixes to pop into your car + drive to for every part of the ride ~ āļø DAYTIME āØļø NIGHTTIME š« DREAMTIME š ~ soundtracked + made just for you
dad + popo prob wouldn't enjoy this music ~ can't always make them proud ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ so we'll enjoy it for them and remember the nights we snuck out to dance and thought they weren't waiting up for us when we raced the sunrise home ~(Ėā¾Ė~)
~*~
ā limited run of šÆ ā i handmade each box set as a lil gift to someone, so first dibs goes to friends i can hand this to. catch me in nyc / seattle / san francisco to get yours first! any leftover after this tour will be available to order online ~ stay tuned by signing up for our mailing list š
ā $40+ per set ā we're splitting the proceeds w/ Majazz Project, Palestinian Sound Archive (@ majazzproject). because we know how much it takes to care for a community archive AND bring it out to the people. + because our growth here at chinatown records is forever tied together with the ever-growing ecosystem of culture bearers like Mo'min (@ mominswaitat) who inspire us š whether you can give $40 or even more, you'll be directly supporting community efforts + histories that refuse to forget / be forgotten
so of course, extra 1st dibs to my nyc home team
@thinkchinatown that started it all with me ~ grab yours first at this sunday's (8/11) sunset chinatown block party to relive these sonic memories together all year long š¶
