Firelight Chats Ep065 | Taiwan Jawn w/BlckTeeth

In this episode of Firelight Chats, the BlckTeeth duo swung by the Spacelab to chat with Kane & Mocha by the fireside about life, music, collaborations, and more. After a 3-week residency making music with indigenous groups in Taitung in August, the two returned to Taipei for another month of performances, work, and play. This episode was recorded two days before their flight back out to Philly.

The duo share their respective background stories, how they met, experimenting in the shed, laying down roots in the basement, the story behind the name, performing on rooftops, hosting sold-out events on yachts named after Benjamin Franklin, creating RnB After Dark and other musical series, connecting with Taiwan, working with various Indigenous groups and artists, what keeps them motivated, and what the future holds.

BlckTeeth is a dynamic production and DJ duo out of Philadelphia, composed of Elijah Black & Justin Powis. The duo are music, culture, and experience curators and are known for their signature events: The Boat Jawn & RnB After Dark.
