ICA Halloween: It’s Magic!

Boston-born and -raised, DJ Kon, whose name stands for “King of Nothing,” has been digging in crates since 1976, DJing since 1985, and spinning in clubs since 1991. DJ duo Soul Clap describe him as the “best disco DJ in the world,” and tastemakers such as Questlove, Jazzanova, Derrick Carter, Jacques Renault, Danny Krivit, Dimitri From Paris, Dâm-Funk, and Gilles Peterson are major supporters of his work. He has played an integral role in Boston’s hip-hop community for decades and has preserved the development of it as a true culturist. Kon has positioned himself at the forefront of a group of multi-track collectors who possess digital versions of the original recording sessions of some of pop music’s greatest artists such as Stevie Wonder, Barry White, Michael Jackson, George Benson, Mizell Brothers, and many more. This resource, along with Kon’s vast knowledge of music, has resulted in some of the most dance-floor-friendly edits and remixes today.

Hi folks, I am the lizard behind the cards! I have been reading tarot for 6 years now, and it has been one of the most meaningful practices in my life to date <3 I am a firm believer in the power of introspection, of connecting with ourselves, and in turn, allowing the world to connect with us. I do not prefer specific spreads or cards, but rather the process of learning about others through their reading. When I’m not peeking at your cards, I am an avid birdwatcher and lover of Dungeons and Dragons! Hope to see you at my tent during the ICA party 🙂
