PN fam is hosting the season closer of Movie Club next Thursday!

Movie Club is a screening series that showcases amazing films with a strong musical component, be it the score or subject matter. With sound being such a crucial aspect of the Movie Club experience, the event is hosted at a private DIY loft space decked out with an impressive audiophile speaker system. 

Next Thursday at Movie Club, we'll be screening Franco Rosso's Babylon. Showcasing the lives of Black British youth in South London, Babylon puts UK sound system culture at the forefront of its drama. After premiering at Cannes' Critics Week in 1980, it was given an X rating and banned from screening in the US until 2019 due to its incendiary-yet-accurate depiction of police brutality and racial violence. Well, light it up. Ever relevant and anchored by BIG chunes, Babylon brings to the screen all the energy and soul of the reggae and dub music it features. 

Thursday, September 29
Doors (& selections by ) at 8pm
Screening at 9pm
Beer & Popcorn 4 Sale

✨New music out today✨ We are proud to present People’s Dream, a new release from NYC-based vibraphonist and electronic producer .

Inspired by Francis Bebey and Don Cherry’s electronic music from the 70s and 80s, People’s Dream draws heavily from modal jazz, minimalism, and dance music. It blends tightly composed percussive phrases with freely moving melodic improvisations that feel as much at home in a DIY loft space as they do on a custom-built sound system at .

On the B-side, UK producer and label-head flips Lucid into a driving, bass-oriented club track, fit for vibrant dancefloors this summer.

Link in bio to listen to these tunes on all your favorite platforms. 12” records are available for pre-order on Bandcamp, shipping in September!

The live reinterpretation will be led by and an ⭐️all-star band⭐️ This will be Nikhil's third time performing at Take Two — it gets better each and every time.
