Tender Buttons: Junior M (NYC)

Friday 15th November at the queer mothership FLUX!

Tender Buttons are back with another edition. This time with a special international guest Junior M visiting from New York City! Plus a drag performance by Scum Syndicate

Marco Gomez’s latest moniker

JUNIOR M is queer and dancefloor-focused, stemming from a rich past in dance-music subcultures around the world. JUNIOR M is a departure from their harder hitting FALSE WITNESS project.

JUNIOR M (the M stands for Machine or Makina in Spanish) is a playful exploration of Italo Disco, Dembow, Synthwave, and American Club styles – all within the broader House music umbrella. A touch of acid and that spaced out, cosmic hole energy they picked up while living in Berlin round out the sonic experience you could expect from their sets.

JUNIOR M is the current manager of E-Missions Recordings, a New York City based boutique dance music label founded in 2017 by artists Channel Lock and P.Leone. They are officially based in Brooklyn, NY.

Performance by the Hermess of the Scum Syndicate

HerMess, a member of the House of Swallows and the mastermind behind The Scum Syndicate, is a modern goth entity who has journeyed from a dark, desolate planet adrift in the vastness of space. Understanding the urgent need for change in the world, HerMess is here to fearlessly challenge norms and provoke thought through their art.
