Emerging artist and producer Young Dervish has been creating music intercontinentally for over a decade. Frequently collaborating and producing for artists in his current home city Minneapolis, MN, the Pakistani/American artist is ready to show everyone the more personal side of his expression. His music blends the fidelity of the digital age with the timelessness of analogue texture to create a sound that is both massive and intimate. Dervish pays homage to many greats through his art including Jai Paul, Jon Hopkins, Children of Bodom and Sade

Christian Music makes experimental music that feels devotional in its honesty — fragmented, emotional songs stitched together from blown-out textures, digital debris, intimate melodies, and instinctive songwriting.

Happy Pride, Twin Cities! We’re throwing a dance party! Get cute and celebrate with TruArtSpeaks and RARE Productions at Icehouse on June 20, 2026. Dj Michel.Be is spinning all night, we have resources to give away, Lt. Sunnie hosting, and a few special guests to make it a Pride worth remembering! This event is Volume Six of The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series: Queer the Mic, A Pride Party.

The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series powered by TruArtSpeaks (Urgent Art Series) is a year-long residency at Ice House in Minneapolis, MN, taking place monthly, every third Saturday,* in celebration of TruArtSpeaks' 20th year anniversary and - more importantly - all of the artists who make our work and community what it is.

Founded in 2006, by Tish Jones, the arts & culture organization based in Saint Paul has a long history of providing platforms for artists to share timely and innovative work— this series is no different. The Urgent Art Series will invite new and true collaborators to share work that speaks to both the nightly theme and the series' invitation: urgent and emergent performance art. Known for being bold in their creative work, TruArtSpeaks has curated a year of creative expression that will move the crowd, the needle, and change forward through creative cultural expression.

The Urgent Art Series is sponsored, in part, by Minnesota Public Radio.

This residency marks a powerful expansion of Obi Original & The Black Atlantics’ presence on the Twin Cities stage. Known for their dynamic blend of highlife, Afrobeat, soulful grooves, and modern fusion, the collective has captivated local and regional audiences with an infectious energy that honors the heritage and future of African-inspired music.

Hailing from the vibrant Minneapolis music scene, Obi Original has built a reputation as a charismatic performer and cultural connector, infusing each night with rhythmic pulse, storytelling, and the spirit of community uplift. His work with the Black Atlantics brings together skilled musicians, traditional and contemporary instrumentation, and a genre-bending approach that resonates with longtime fans of Afrocentric music and newcomers alike.

This event will help highlight Nigerian community connection, further reflecting the collective’s dedication to cultural celebration and inclusion — a hallmark of their mission to bring global sounds and stories to the heart of Minneapolis.

“We’re excited to bring AFRODISIA to The Icehouse,” says Obi Original. “This is more than a show, it’s a space for joy, connection, and honoring the rhythms that connect us all.”

Whether you’re a longtime lover of African music or discovering its magic for the first time, AFRODISIA at The Icehouse MPLS promises a weekly cultural experience full of soul, groove, and unity.
