Kicking off PDX Pride weekend right with BANG! — a new queer-helmed techno night. Wear ya flat shoes, because we’re stomping this out all night long. Brought to you by PDX selectors Sappho and Bro Hoe, along with Philadelphia-based kraftwitch (CURFEW).
Sappho is a DJ, musical artist, event producer and label co-owner of Koritsi Komma Records. Currently, they are a resident DJ for some of the nation’s most exciting touring parties – Deadhead Disco, Sapphic Factory and What The Dance – PLUS the following events and nightclubs: Underground SF in San Francisco and Hardcastle, Punch Bowl Social & The Eagle in Portland. In addition to their work in nightlife, they are a DJ for the Rose City Roller Derby and the radio station, Freeform PDX.
Bro Hoe is a Portland, OR based DJ and resident at Eagle Portland and Burning Man’s legendary Pink Ponies camp. Known for fusing rare remixes, disco edits, alt-dance anthems and house bangers, his sets spread energy like wildfire. When the floor is his, it will be shaking. Every second Friday at Eagle Portland, Bro Hoe curates Classic C
CK, a 70’s • 80’s • 90’s throwback night, spinning house, synth pop and disco.
