After our last SOLD OUT edition, Laylit takes over GRIDWRKS and ANNX once again for an unforgettable two-floor dance party!Laylit is a platform and collective celebrating music and artists from the Arab/SWANA region and its diaspora. Over the last seven years their dance parties have carved out an unmatched place in North American and European nightlife, becoming an anticipated social gathering and unique musical experience. With recent features in the New York Times and Pitchfork and more, the party is now active in more than 10 cities.
Each party takes you on a genre-spanning journey, highlighting the incredible musical diversity, depth and richness that comes out of the region. Laylit has established its place on the scene with a signature electronic sound blending shaabi, dabke, mahraganat, Arabic pop and hip-hop with contemporary, boundary pushing dance music (techno, breakbeat, hyperpop…) inspired by New York and Montreal’s thriving underground clubs.
Laylit values inclusivity and unity across cultures, languages, dialects, religions, identity and sexual orientations.
