Announcing "Stick Talk": An Interactive Listening Party & Celebration of Future's DS2

Y'all thought it was a drought? We back outside!

The listening party is a staple in music, especially when it comes to revisiting past work. I’ve been to my fair share of listening parties for older albums, and while it’s fun to sing along to music you love with a large group of people, I often leave these events wishing I had gained more, whether a deeper understanding of the project, or a new perspective on it. So when DS2, a seminal trap album and arguably Future’s magnum opus, turned ten this past July I got an idea.

I’m hyped to announce our next live event—Stick Talk: an interactive listening party and celebration for the tenth anniversary of DS2. We’ll be listening to the album in full, but I’ll be inviting friends, music journalists and audience members to come onstage to share their thoughts / stories / memories associated with the songs throughout the experience. If you wanna be one of those people, lmk in the form, or just email / dm us!

If you love Future and DS2, come through and chat about it with other people. Never heard it? Come find out why people love it—and our toxic king—so much. The hope is by the end of the night, you will not only have revisited a classic album, but you'll walk away with a new perspective. Me personally, I’m just excited to listen to “I Serve The Bass” at deafening levels.

​​Join us at telos.haus on Sunday, August 10th at 4PM. Unfortunately, we will not be serving lean, but there will be fun bites and drinks. The event is free to attend! RSVP here!

I really hope to see you there, it’s gonna be sensational. Bring a plus one and don’t forget your double cups.
