ᵔᴥᵔSATURDAY APRIL 4 — Darone Sassounian b2b Lara Sarkissian all night
Darone Sassounian and Lara Sarkissian are excited to bring their collaborative efforts to the dancefloor performing an extended b2b set which highlights past and present SWANA and non-Western archives.
This project marks a different style of DJ set from the two; a deeper exploration into shared musical roots in dance, selected specifically for this collaborative format.
Sassounian and Sarkissian, each reshape their Armenian heritage through their own unique sound signatures. Whether its sampling in productions or blends in dance sets, they both pay homage to the vast and specific regional sounds by making connections in percussion, rhythm, and melody. Darone Sassounian revives diaspora‑era Armenian disco, funk, and psychedelic sounds for new audiences. Lara Sarkissian transforms Armenian musical tradition into forward-thinking electronic soundscapes through releases, immersive installations, and live performances. Together, they spotlight how Armenian identity can be preserved, interpreted, and innovatively evolved in the modern sonic scene.
