SQUISH

SQUISH is a San Francisco and Oakland event promoter whose series began in 2019. Its programming pairs dance music made for the floor with more leftfield sounds. The series was created to make space for people whose bodies do not fit dominant cultural narratives, with euphoric dancing and non-traditional club sounds as its focus. Residents have included Beverly Chills, likeholywine and nonsuit, while artists appearing at SQUISH events have included Daniel Avery and Eris Drew. The promoter marked its fifth anniversary with a San Francisco party on July 20, 2024. SQUISH also runs a radio strand alongside its events.
