Jay's words and concept:
"I'd love to call it 'Good Grief' and have it be like a psychedelic day of the dead sorta tribute to our lost loved ones - but without sad funeral tones. Just like a day of the dead celebration with dark psychedelic music and stuff, and then finish with uplifting drum n bass, into a funky full good vibes happy set to finish it off.
Big space with lots of my art and some other art and installations, and visuals and good bass and wicked people, and a warm environment to escape.
People go home having danced their troubles away, hard as fuck, and leave with a smile and good vibes and nostalgia. I'd love all our psychedelic friends in one safe space til late at night, grooving to epic good music and leaving on a high note.
I dont wanna have a sombre party, but I'd love for us to all have a place where we can go and kinda dance for our lost loved ones and friends and people, without it being discussed really. And just kinda like... we know who we are there for, and we are dancing extra hard for them.
GOOD GRIEF - like Charlie Brown. Kinda like word play about grieving, but the good kind. We have the hearts needed to make this happen."
