RINSED is a party, a collective, an institution built by the voices of the ravers who wanted just a little bit more to their hedonistic adventures. Two individuals – Dan Wender and Blacky II – came together one night in Brooklyn seven years ago and decided to do their own thing on small-but-sexy scale, and thus Rinsed was born. Beginning as a pop up night club type event designed to give people a place to dance, put down their phones, and experience nightlife with others who share an open mind, they seamlessly fused installation art and music by creating unique experiences with forward thinking producers & DJs, non-traditional spaces, bizarre installations, & easy access for discriminating party goers.
Having become one of Gotham’s finest soirees, Dan & Blacky decided it was time for the world to hear their own musical journey, their own aural perspective. After years of extensive weekend sessions filled with a bevy of hardware and illicit substances, the boys present “Snakes & Ladders”;
The result is an hour-long array of kaleidoscopic house and garage cuts that’s equal parts evocative, fresh and multi-sensory, infused with a classic deep touch, which never gets cheesy or self-referential, and can reconcile the nostalgy for the classic deep house sound with a modern taste.
Enjoy and keep your eyes on this project!
