Before algorithms flattened culture into 20 second clips. Before the distraction of social media replaced being present on the dancefloor. Before the DJ booth became a stage for spectacle -- house music did something to a room that is hard to explain, yet easy to remember.
Moulton Music is launching Can We Get Connected?, a five-event series built around a simple question: do those conditions still work? Do they still matter to people?
Each night in the series is rooted in a specific era of house music, beginning with the early 1990s and moving forward through 2015. Not as a history lesson or nostalgia porn. As an experiment. We'll rebuild the conditions as honestly as we can -- the room, the sound, the approach -- and find out together whether they still hold and have value.
The series runs alongside The Custodian Project, Chris Lum's long-form project exploring his lineage, experiences and stories of being in the underground house music community for 25 years. What started as a personal inquiry into what this culture gave him, cost him, and what he experienced has become something larger -- and these events are where that inquiry moves into a physical room and asks the question out loud.
