Procession, NYC
Procession:
Founded in December, 2015, Procession began as a one off night to fill a free night at New York's infamous Home Sweet Home - a renowned lower eastside venue and bar known for it's Wierd parties. Local DJ, Cage reached out to dear friend Joe Hart to join and thus, the one off quickly became a popular regular event, being the only dark music event to be held on Sundays. With a carefully curated visual and musical aesthetic, Procession has also played host to live performances too, always emphasizing the founders predilection for the arcane.... And now Cage brings his sets to online... Enjoy!
