From the latest episode of SOUND/STAGE: Andra Day performs her song Rise Up, one of the unofficial anthems of the Black Lives Matter movement. #laphilsoundstage

Curated by influential DJ and cultrual programmer Sasha Ali (a.k.a. Miss Modular Radio), Midnight in the Diaspora explores how L.A.-based artists either born outside of the United States or working between more than one country are bringing a combination of global influences to the city’s music and nightlife. DJs build community in the club, where dancers can both reimagine who they are and find new versions of themselves reflected in the mirrorball. This hybrid panel discussion and performance features Discostan’s Arshia Fatima Haq, NTS Radio DJ and Junkyard Jouvert producer Adam Cooper (a.k.a. foreigner), and creative producer Anita Herrera, who splits time between L.A. and Mexico City. Tune in October 20 at 6:30pm PT. #StateofLA #TheFord
