EYCEE

Kode9

Mallaury

The weather is getting icey, the nights are drawing in and as always we are bringing you another line up of only the COLDEST names for our final edition of the year on 21st December! We welcome Kode9, DJ Swisha, Mallaury and EYCEE to Parallel for a hot and heavy low-end showdown to combat the winter blues.  

It's not easy to sum up Hyperdub founder Kode9 in one paragraph but the DJ, producer, artist and writer has touched on all corners of music with remixes for legends across genre divides such as Mr. Fingers, Lee Scratch Perry and MF DOOM. He's had an undeniable influence on bass music from a production standpoint through his stacked solo discography (as well as academic), publishing his 'Sonic Warfare' book in 2010. With mixes for institutions such as DJ-Kicks, Fabriclive and Rinse somehow in between all this, he finds time to keep his skills in the booth razor sharp and we can't wait to welcome this legend next month!  

Philly-born and Juke Bounce Werk family member, DJ Swisha lands with us at Parallel bringing an arsenal of his polyrhythmic, nostalgic yet forward-thinking dancefloor cuts with him. A contender for one of our favorite and most consistently hittin' Bandcamp pages out there - it's a pleasure to welcome his trademark mix of footwork, juke, booty bass and Jersey club to our dancefloor.  

Mallaury has been shutting down dances across Europe recently and after witnessing the ground shake during her rowdy set on the La Cassette stage at Orbit festial, we knew we had to get her in the PARDON booth sooner rather than later! Expect playful yet sonically wide-ranging and powerful tracks blended with precision.  

EYCEE rounds out the line-up after having schemed up an all-timer of an ADE edition last October alongside the PARDON team, it was a no-brainer for us to get back in the hotseat ASAP and December 21st was perfect timing!

Modus, will end its 2024 run with heavy hitter Bambounou, Amsterdam's rising stars angelboy b2b Slimfit, PHIA, and longtime Modus resident Lucky Done Gone.

About Modus
Modus is Parallel's platter for eclectic electronics, presenting events where you can experience electronic music in multiple ways: club modus, live modus - and many more modes to follow.

Modus

Please note that having a ticket does not guarantee entrance. There is a strict door policy in place to reinforce Pornceptual's dress code and the overall atmosphere they aim to create. Their door personnel are trained to maintain this balance throughout the night. Additional and specific door policies can overrule Parallel's house rules.

Pornceptual is an art movement encompassing digital media, exhibitions, screenings, club nights and a yearly printed publication. Their vision is to present pornographic art as queer, diverse and inclusive. After a first encounter with Parallel earlier this year, Pornceptual returns during ADE.

Music is at the heart of Pornceptual's events, but they also propose visual experiences like art performances and a cinema room. More private cruising areas are provided so you have the chance to sexually explore yourself.

No Pornceptual night is ever the same, but please abide to the dress code (erotic, fetish & creative outwear) and the no photo policy. Pornceptual's safe space guidelines can be found below.

PORNCEPTUAL'S SAFE SPACE GUIDELINES

Pornceptual is a safe social space. We will not wait for issues of harm to happen but will proactively challenge oppression & hierarchy in everything we do.

Our parties should be inclusive and supportive spaces for all women (trans, intersex and cis) and all non binary, agender and gender variant people. Self-definition is at the sole discretion of that individual. We do not police gender in our spaces. If you are here, it is because you feel that our gender inclusion policy includes you, and therefore you are welcome.

We want to create a community that recognises and challenges the oppression & exploitation that some of us are harmed by, and some of us benefit from.

Some people are survivors of domestic, sexual and state violence. Our community aims to be survivor-centered. We all respond to harmful experiences differently.

RULES

1. Consent; Make sure the other person(s) is/are participating freely and readily. You can confirm if you have consent both verbally and by checking the other person’s body language. Someone on drugs or too drunk to make decisions doesn’t have the mental capacity to give consent. Somebody who is asleep or unconscious cannot give consent. Don’t flirt with someone who needs care, ask for help and find the awareness team. Your partner has the right to withdraw their consent at any time using verbal or non-verbal language. Once consent is withdrawn you must stop engaging in sexual activity immediately.

2. Ask, Don’t Asume; Your comfort level - be it certain topics of conversation, violence, nudity, sex, etc. - might be easy for you, but triggering for others. Respect everyone’s identity and background, including pronouns and names. Do not assume anyone’s gender identity, sexual preference, economic status, background, health, etc. There is endless strength and beauty in our differences.

3. Check your privileges; The body & life you’ve been born into might come with specific privileges, but this isn’t universal for all. Take a moment to think about the systems and biases that work in your favor each day. Let’s create healing for others, instead of piling on more suffering. Listen to your POC friends, listen to your trans & non-binary friends. This is not to say that you have not struggled in your own life or experienced many disadvantages, but allow yourself to move beyond your own worldview, in order to try to understand those held by other people.

4. Give Space; Don’t follow, stare, or interrupt; forcing yourself & your opinions onto others is not sexy. Some of us just wanna dance & escape, not cruise or mingle. If your advances go unreciprocated, don’t take the rejection personally, simply move on. We should all take on the responsibility of being caring bystanders, not just in our spaces, but in our day-today. If you witness aggressive sexual advances or racist/transphobic comments, step in and personally intervene in a non-confrontational way.

5. Calling out; if you have acted or spoken harmfully, even if unintentionally, someone will bring this up with you. If this happens, listen and reflect on what they are saying also if you think they may be wrong. Don’t try to absolve yourself of responsibility.  

6. Learning; if you don’t understand something, just ask. We are each responsible for our learning and if we feel able, for sharing it with others.  

7. Community Accountability; When we work together in this radical and transformative way, we are creating the change we wish to see in the world.
