ASA 808, Benyayer fka Dark Sky, Do you know Juno

take off your shoes. make yourself at home. join the joyful TOYS congregation and praise our new lords and saviors of forward-thinking electronic music, who saved our souls from conservative tech-house cardinals and testosterone overdosed unitary techno shittery. in recent years, excited hipsters have been tossing around words like ‚house’, ‚bass‘ and ‚trance‘ like confetti. but at TOYS, we honor our saints – Alinka, Avalon Emerson, Benyayer, Cyan85, Dauwd, Elkka, Sam Goku, Stella Zekri, Tereza, Tom Trago & many more – in diverse and torrid settings. come (un)dress, play, and dance to truly impelling tracks, and free yourselves for everyone’s cantilevered satisfaction in this divine service in a dimly lit queer feminist, sex-positive, post-modern church of pulsating indulgence.

On November 15th, our sacred temple of sweat and salvation reopens its doors — TOYS returns to Paloma for another night of divine dancefloor delirium. This time, we welcome Benyayer — fka Dark Sky — rising gloriously from the chrysalis with his debut solo LP Morpho (out Nov 21 on Sound Records Stroud). Like the Blue Morpho butterfly that inspired it, Morpho is a shimmering, emotional transformation of UK bass, Afrofuturist dreamscapes, and tender techno chaos. After a string of magnetic singles and a luminous collaboration with our own TOYS server ASA 808, Benyayer brings his transcendent blend of bass-heavy elegance and emotional precision to the altar.

Opening the ceremony, Do You Know Juno sets the tone with an eclectic, jazz-infused vinyl warm-up — weaving house, disco, and nu-jazz into narrative-driven sets that shimmer with groove and grace. As night deepens, Benyayer and ASA 808 take the floor for a rapturous rite of rhythm and collective metamorphosis: from caterpillar to creature of the night, from sinner to saint, from floor to fleur.
