Thursday, 4/16, 10pm-12am: Mixed Reality features special guest DJ Apah (@im_apah ) to rock the airwaves with a selection of bass-heavy sounds. 💥💥
Apah is a Durham-based sound design savant who is not afraid to push boundaries in their sets. Playing shows all over the east coast, they have shared the stage with the likes of GRRL, Zen Selekta, and Mantra Sounds, to name a few. Tonight, expect to have your notion of "danceable" music challenged as Apah turns things up to eleven. 🎛️🎛️

As a visual artist he has worked with David Lynch, Robert Hood, and DJ Seinfeld; as a DJ he’s provided support for the likes of Eli Brown and John Summit. Locally, Adam runs Durham’s premiere party for house and techno, The Floor (@thefloor919 ), and is a key creative component of The Fruit. 🪩
