​Clubfriends Radio & Records hosts Blacktronika: Philadelphia Here and Now for a series of conversations highlighting the artists, scenes, and decades of Philadelphia music history behind each night’s performance. Held free, daily at noon during Art Philly 2026, King Britt — producer, DJ, and UC San Diego professor — joins his collaborators from the previous night’s show for an intimate dialogue on what that history means for the city today. Presented in community partnership with the Philadelphia Music Alliance.

​The series extends Blacktronika: Philadelphia Here and Now, a weeklong run of free performances commissioned by Art Philly for the What Now: 2026 Festival, with lead support from the William Penn Foundation. The performance series itself grew out of King Britt’s course Blacktronika: Afrofuturism in Electronic Music and has since toured to LA, Brooklyn, Knoxville, Paris, and beyond.

​Free and open to the public.

​“ It’s like a family reunion, you know. And it’s the last week of the festival, so let’s go out with a bang. The dance floor is a place of resistance. It is a place of protest: All like-minded people together under one banner of love and bringing unity together in our bodies.” -King Britt

​Clubfriends is Alexa Colas’s living room turned record store, curated by lived experience. It’s based at Meantime on Market, on the 900 block of Market Street — a storefront activated by Meantime, the nonprofit that puts vacant Philadelphia storefronts back into community use. There, Clubfriends expands into a public listening room, continuing to explore the moments that move us — on and off the dance floor, beyond nightlife, in conversation, and within a substance-free environment.

​Clubfriends made its public debut at the 2025 DesignPhiladelphia Festival before coming to Meantime, where it now operates as a listening room, archive, and gathering place. It’s built on the belief that music is infrastructure — the way we navigate the world through lived experiences that move us. On Market Street, Clubfriends is not only a record of Alexa’s personal story, but a collective one, shaped by the people who move through it.
