Q: What’s This Party Is Killing You!: The Robyn Party All About?
ADVENTURE[s]: This Party Is Killing You!: The Robyn Party is the original, longest-lasting, and biggest night celebrating the music of the Swedish goddess of pop, Robyn. It started out as just us wanting to hear her music LOUD in a club setting and dance to it, and it grew into something that really has seemed to connect emotionally with people all over the globe. When we started this party there were no “theme” parties for things like this, even though they’re everywhere now, so we had this weird/unprecedented concept dj night/dance party/club thing that spread by word of mouth and has grown into what it is now. It’s really about the transcendent and euphoric power of pop music on the dance floor, and no one does cry-dancing better than Robyn.
It’s also about community and self-expression. Everyone who comes comes as themselves, heart on sleeve, and if you want to dress a certain way that’s fantastic, if you want to come right off of work and just lose yourself that’s also spectacular.
Q: Tell us about the time Robyn was there!
ADVENTURE[s]: That was a really incredible time. You can watch it all unfold in the video she put out for “Missing U”, which launched the Honey era.
Basically she came and gave everyone, us included, the night of our lives, and debuted the song “Honey” (in full!). It was really special, she’s truly incredible and brilliant and giving and so, so kind and SO COOL.
Q: What do you love about bringing The Robyn Party to Atlanta?
ADVENTURE[s]: Atlanta crowds are so GOOD. They want to DANCE and they want to SING ALONG. It’s gorgeous! Two of us grew up/lived here for a long time, and it’s always immediately welcoming. Also, we’re huge fans of Nonsense ATL and have been collaborating for the longest time - literally cannot remember when or how, it’s been that long. And that’s always a really fun time.
Q: What’s different about this year’s version of the party?
ADVENTURE[s]: This year we have a special focus on Robyn Is Here, the very first Robyn album, because it’s celebrating 30 years this year. 30 years! She has a line on Charli XCX’s 360 remix that has been doing music for so long, and since she was so young, that she didn’t have email, and that’s a wild thing to think about. Robyn Is Here is nothing but back to back bangers, some slow burners and some more immediate, and we’re enjoying taking this opportunity to play more of that album out.
Also: dancing is a protest right now. Expressions of sexuality or love or joy are protest actions right now. In times like this we find it really important to get out of the bubble we exist in in New York and show the queer and non-conforming communities that they’re NOT alone and give a little bit of respite and togetherness, as best we can.
Q: What’s One Robyn track you hope ATL requests?
ADVENTURE[s]: Please request “Monument” multiple times, because it’s Russ’s favorite song and there’s a couple of different remixes we’re in LOVE with right now and we’d like to play all of them .
