Polari x Club Congress: Smackdown

Polari is still only just in its infancy with its ~1.5 years of parties but with over 8 years of consistent good vibes, Club Congress is a Dolphin Tavern and Philly fave. This collab/smackdown is going to be a for sure good gay old time. Shang will be rejoining the Polari stage with Firestone, but this time with his CC partner in crime, and one of Philly’s legends, DJ Matpat (@clubbyboy).

 

Expect a healthy blend of what you might find Firestone playing on any given Polari night and what you’d hear Shang and Matpat crushing The Dolphin with: genres might range anywhere from Disco; Pop edits; deep, funky, acid, house; breaks and garage; techno; trance, etc.!
