Phillip Allen, aka DJ K7, is hosting the third installment of his WorldTown global music project with Brooklyn-based DJ and multimedia artist Moni Pineda.
“With WorldTown v3, I hope to bridge the gap between the visual arts and music. … DJ Moni is the perfect person to do that,” Allen said.
In addition to her selector duties, DJ Moni has had her photos published in magazines such as The Fader and Rolling Stone. She is also the co-creator of the Friends We Love WorldTown artist documentary series, which creates cultural exchange through short Web documentaries filmed by her and partner Mike Vargas.
WorldTown will take place in two segments Saturday. From 3 to 4 p.m., there will be a screening of three Friends We Love shorts, followed by a discussion on global underground music and art culture with the creators. The discussion will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., DJ K7, DJ Moni and Miss Kai of Nashville will take the Southside of Chattanooga on a journey through the world via music.
