SUMMARY:Laylit
DESCRIPTION:Laylit is a platform and collective celebrating music and artists from the Arab/SWANA region and its diaspora. Over the last four years their dance parties in New York City and Montreal have carved out an unmatched place in North American nightlife\, becoming an anticipated social gathering and unique musical experience.  \n\n\n\nEach party takes you on a genre-spanning journey\, highlighting the incredible musical diversity\, depth and richness that comes out of the region. Laylit has established its place on the scene with a signature electronic sound blending shaabi\, dabke\, mahraganat\, Arabic pop and hip-hop with contemporary\, boundary pushing dance music (techno\, breakbeat\, hyperpop…) inspired by New York and Montreal’s thriving underground clubs. Featured in multiple publications including the New York Times and Pitchfork\, Laylit recently celebrated its 5-year anniversary with a Boiler Room event in NYC and a tour across multiple North American cities. Laylit values inclusivity and unity across cultures\, languages\, dialects\, religions\, identity and sexual orientations.  \n\n\n\nACCESSIBILITY & SAFETY Gridwrks is on the ground level. Bathrooms are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.  \n\n\n\nMAX Ottawa will be on site to provide free harm reduction supplies and offer support to attendees.
