About Higher!
“Higher!” arrives at Signal as a DJ-centered night that treats dance music as living archive. Tony Humphries, a key figure in the rise of American house through the ’80s and ’90s, shares the room with DJ Miss Parker and Karim Olen Ash, whose NYC-based live electronics are built from programmed rhythms and layered textures. The program isn’t framed as an NYC premiere, but it carries local cultural weight by placing a foundational selector beside contemporary production practice. One clear takeaway: the bill argues for continuity over novelty.
