[DJ LIVE] Open Paris: DISSIDENT Birthday Party by Ikaros Escape

Open Present (Brooklyn) and The Dissident Club present a birthday celebration of Taha Siddiqui, the founder of the Dissident Club. The night will feature soulful house, NYC hip-hop, and Jersey Club in Paris. Ikaros Escape takes the floor for a late night set of warm, groove-heavy sounds rooted in 90s soul house and built for dancing. //// DJ PROFILE: Ikaros Escape is Uyghur-origin, Brooklyn-based DJ and the founder of Open Present, a New York collective that has been bringing underground dance music and community together for the past year and a half. A Uyghur artist in diaspora, his sets draw from 90s soulful house, jungle, Jersey Club, and global club sounds — music rooted in love, freedom, and movement across cultures. He has been featured in the New York Times and travels internationally through the Human Rights Foundation. His most recent mix, recorded live at a Valentine's Eve show in Brooklyn with live flute accompaniment, is available on SoundCloud at soundcloud.com/ikaros_escape.
