Upcoming Events: Associate 9/10 Eaton Radio Show then Live at Rendezvous in DC
Associate is all over DC on Saturday, 9/10. At 2pm he has his monthly radio show at the Eaton Hotel - tune in at:https://soundcloud.com/bossrossdj
Then join us for a night of hypnotic techno and deep minimal, crafted to take you beyond the ordinary.
Immerse yourself in evolving layers, subtle grooves, and psychedelic rhythms that flow seamlessly through the night. Powered by a high-fidelity 180° sound system, the music surrounds you—clean, deep, and immersive. Arrive early for happy hour, drinks, and hookah in a warm, welcoming space to connect before the dance floor opens up. This is more than a party—it’s a community. Tickets are donation-based, and every contribution supports the local DJs who shape the sound of our nights together. EARLY BIRD applied for RA, after sold out, please check on Shotgun Marketplace for more options- don't worry they are still super cheap at the time of posting, but if they go up or just low on funds, rumor has it Stos bought a couple extra he's willing to part with :) Let’s dance. Let’s connect. Let’s build something beautiful—together.
Upcoming Events: Goth Prom, and Midnight FM "Live"
Associate and Stos have a few gigs coming up, including Midnight FM's next party!
Saturday, June 28th: Associate joins Eric Yaz, E-Que, and SPCL.K for "Back 2 Basics: TECHNO ALL NIGHT". They will be going late and hard!
Saturday, July 5th: Associate and Stos join PMMAIRE, Nocturnal Wax, Mverto Futura, and PWRPUFF at 618 for "Goth Prom" - the prom that we (and probably you) actually wanted. They will be digging up some classic goth, industrial, and EBM jams along with their usual italo and techno.
Saturday, July 19th: We are back for a new night in a new space. Join us for "Midnight FM Live" at Tiki on 18th located at 2411 18th St. in Adams Morgan. We start at 10 and will play as long as you all want to dance! This event is free :)
Happy May Day!
Our crew is by no means a stranger to the labor movement. As always we encourage everyone to practice random acts of solidarity so that we may achieve a world (to paraphrase Gompers) with more schools and fewer jails; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge. To all the workers of the world, Happy May Day!
Also, this Saturday, at 2 pm, our own "Associate" (a union shop steward by the way) is going to be broadcasting a special May "Movement Preview" edition of Midwest Plenty Radio! Check back here for the link!
In Solidarity,
-Midnight FM
Stay Tuned! For Now...
Stos here. I came across this passage from Emma Goldman's autobiography. Its the basis for a misquote attributed to her, "if I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution" - but I think the full passage is pretty great:
"At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha [Alexander Berkman], a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause.
I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business, I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement should not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it.
"I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everyboy's right to beautiful, radiant things."
Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world--prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own comrades I would live my beautiful ideal."
Emphasis mine :)
