What Is WAMPTRONICA?

 WAMPTRONICA is an underground dance music collective rooted in Southeastern Massachusetts; a
living practice devoted to sound, gathering, and cultural continuity.

It is not a genre experiment and not a brand exercise; it is a method. A way of convening people through rhythm, repetition, and shared experience. A way of treating the dance floor as a social and ceremonial space rather than a spectacle.

The sound draws from Afro House, Deep House, Jazz House, Soul, Funk, and Afrobeats; it is shaped equally by Indigenous rhythm, instrumentation, and philosophy. Three of the four original members are Mashpee Wampanoag, and this perspective informs not only the music, but the intention behind every session, recording, and broadcast.

WAMPTRONICA functions across several interconnected platforms:
live underground dance sessions and pop-up gatherings throughout New England;
a weekly radio show documenting contemporary underground dance music;
original recordings released as concept-driven works;
media installations combining music and moving image;
and ongoing cultural documentation through writing and archiving.

Rather than operating on the logic of constant visibility, WAMPTRONICA works in cycles; seasonal, reflective, and community-centered. Releases are tied to solstices, sessions, and lived experience. Events are designed as spaces of safety and release, particularly for people of color, creatives, and those historically pushed to the margins of nightlife culture.

The objective has never been scale for its own sake.
The objective is resonance.

WAMPTRONICA exists to cultivate an audience that understands underground dance music not merely as
entertainment, but as the continuation of social traditions that have survived displacement, erasure, and commodification.
