Joyride (Live), 2025
Installation / performance. 4-channel sound system built from 4 modified cars with live choreography, sound, and crews.
Mixing elements of acid house rave convoy, car meet, dance battle, ball & MTV Grind. Each car is paired with a crew and the cars act as stage and speaker. DJs play through all 4 cars, moving between genres: hardcore, ballroom, funk, and softer feminine beats, as crews answer with choreography, battles, and cyphers, turning the car park into a car meet dance clash.
