Shai FM & WILHELMINA || BROTHA TAAJ & XIO

This Friday at Bastet... FLOOR TWO — CLUB LEVEL WILHELMINA + Shai FM Jersey-born WILHELMINA brings a sultry, percussion-forward take on East Coast club music - bending Jersey club, hard drum, techno, R&B and global club sounds through references to his Filipino heritage. With roots in the NJ DIY electronic scene, his productions and sets have traveled from New York and Atlanta to São Paulo and Taipei. Philly-based Shai FM moves fluidly across the bass + club spectrum, shapeshifting between tempos and textures with serious low-end pressure. Born in China and raised in the Bay Area, he’s shared stages with Batu, Two Shell + Nikki Nair, hosts a monthly show on Great Circles, and released his standout Polarize EP on Elicit Records. Expect a meeting point... somewhere between bass pressure, percussion, techno, East Coast club mutations + the unexpected. FLOOR ONE — LOUNGE LEVEL Brother Taaj + Xio Two seasoned Philly party rockers holding down Floor One. DJ, organizer + community builder Brother Taaj is behind the beloved All Love Block Party, as well as Black Soul Summer - a free, Black-owned ticketing platform built to power events across Philly and beyond. Alongside him, Xio is an open-format DJ whose sets move through R&B, hip-hop, house, and the sounds of the Caribbean and Latin diaspora, blending nostalgia with what's needed to move the room. She is the force behind El Coro and FEELZ, two event series centered on intentional music, culture, and community.
