CHANGE THE MOOD! will feature performances by Dutty Artz affiliated visual artists, musicians, DJs, and MCs. A portion of proceeds & silent auction will support the Beyond the Block Sunset Park initiative. The party combines Dutty Artz's ground-up artistic vision with a desire to connect music fans to the struggles faced by local communities of immigrants, artists, workers, and young people that often help inspire contemporary global fashion trends.

CHANGE THE MOOD! performers include Chants from Madison, WI, making his NYC debut on the strength of his 'Night After' EP ("Chants makes very beautiful sounds that make you feel like you're swimming in an underwater world of loveliness" -- Dummy Mag), recent WIRE mag coverboy DJ /rupture, Que Bajo's Geko Jones, Rick Ross protégé Chief Boima, and more.
