unravel: Govan Jones
with DEROIA and Kayotic

Unravel is a late night dance series where people come to get lost in a vast spectrum of sounds curated by a diverse range of DJs. Too often we put up guises and fill ourselves with inhibitions as a defense mechanism to this increasingly hostile and disingenuous world. Unravel aims to create a space where one feels safe to shed these layers of security and to truly find themselves, and a community that is happy to embrace them. Music starts as soon as the doors open.
