DIP: THE T PARTY

Rooted in neo-soul, alternative R&B, and Afro-Surinamese traditions, they blend smooth vocals with warm, organic live instrumentation and a deep love of improvisation. Their music feels intimate. As they put it: “Music should feel like a conversation between the past, present, and future.” Live, Damani invites the audience into something that feels part concert, part ritual, part hangout. You will hear vocals in Sranantongo, lyrics that speak from the heart, and grooves that stretch across continents.

Kyara is a genre-blending artist, singer, songwriter and performer whose sound is as bold and unapologetic as her spirit. A true multidimensional force, she moves fluidly between roles as a creative director, composer, choreographer, arranger, songwriter, and visionary. Drawing from a rich well of influences — from high fashion runways to ballroom floors and spiritual grounding — Kyara is now entering a new era rooted in honoring the femme queen legacy. Her music is a rallying cry — anthems for the trans girls, the gay boys, and all those who have been pushed to the margins. Her lyrics fuse affirmations with wit, her beats walk like heels on concrete, and her performances leave a trail of elegance and fire.

JASON, a trans DJ from Amsterdam, delivers bold, high-energy sets that blend bouncy electro with infectious rhythms. Constantly evolving his playful sound.

Fluid, cunty and unapologetically soft. Andrea is a movement artist which carves out a space where smooth and sensual movements become an act of self-reclamation. Rooted in a background of ballroom and voguing, Andrea translates that spirit of liberation into a signature somatic flow that is as much a mood as it is a movement. 

DIP (Tuesdays In Paradiso) is a free space in Paradiso's Upstairs Room where creatives are given the opportunity to try out new ideas and experiment with the support of Paradiso's expertise. It is where organizations, collectives, artists, performers, creators, free spirits, and inventors can grow their talent and present their artistic expressions on a Tuesday night at Paradiso.
