Switch Hit Community Sportsball: 8-Bit Edition

  • Wonderville 1186 Broadway Brooklyn, NY, 11221 United States (map)

A listening party for new releases from artist-run record label Switch Hit Records, including unreleased recordings from Jae Soto, Joshua Crumbly, Cale Hawkins, and Joshua Thew. Jae Soto's video game inspired by her latest single "Working the Weekend" will be available for play alongside Wonderville's selection of arcade games.

In defiance of the notion that the music industry is hopelessly inscrutable and inhospitable to independent artists, Switch Hit Records is a new, musician-run cooperative record label committed to giving artists 100% of the profits from their work. Switch Hit is the new home for visionary, community-oriented musicians making genre-defying music in an industry increasingly run by the algorithm. Named for the player who can change up a baseball game with sheer prowess and adaptability, Switch Hit is a collective of multi-hyphenate artists: producers, instrumentalists, composers, musical directors, and business owners. Founding members Arthur Moon (NPR Tiny Desk), Cale Hawkins (Charli XCX, Quincy Jones) and Raia Was (Autre Ne Veut) draw on a decade of collaborating with each other on and off renowned stages, including WNYC Soundcheck, Lincoln Center, and Barclays Center.
