  • Brooklyn's AFROPUNK Festival has announced the final lineup for its August 23 and 24th dates, which includes a tribute to the late DJ Rashad, who tragically passed away in April of 2014. AFROPUNK, now in its ninth year, will take place at the Commodore Barry Park in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, with a broad lineup that touches on hip-hop, indie rock, club music and more. This year the festival has announced a DJ Rashad tribute, with sets from Teklife associates Spinn, Earl, Taso, RP Boo, DJ Deeon, J-Cush and a performance by footwork dance crew The Era. It'll be a rare occasion to catch performances by so many members of the Chicago-based Teklife collective at once, and a special opportunity to celebrate the life of one of footwork's greatest pioneers. In addition to the memorial event, AFROPUNK has announced DJ sets from King Britt, DJ Sliink, Juliana Huxtable, Roofeeo, MikeQ, Uniiqu3 and more.
