Lani Sciandra, also known as DJ Catsilk — a longtime community DJ— and Mark Partridge, who performs as Ambient Barn, are bringing immersive synth-driven soundscapes to life at the First Friday Of Funk event at New Memories in Parksville, NY.
Together, they help host Foundation of Funk, a popular monthly dance party that celebrates diverse music, art, and community connection between the Delaware and Hudson Rivers.
They discuss their inspirations, the multi-room dance experience they’re curating for June 6th, and how their unique blend of music, visual art, and community engagement is energizing the regional scene.
