DISTINCTIVE welcomes Joe Claussell

About

The journey continues... As **House In The Park Weekend** begins, **Distinctive** returns on **Friday, September 4, 2026**, welcoming one of dance music's true visionaries, **Joe Claussell**, for a rare Atlanta appearance alongside host **Kai Alcé**. A selector, producer, remixer, and spiritual guide behind the decks, Joe's sets are more than performances—they're immersive musical experiences that transcend genre, generation, and expectation. Joining the celebration are **Chicago's Ctrlzora & Atlanta's Own Playr1**, bringing their own fearless energy to a night dedicated to rhythm, soul, and connection. This year's gathering finds a new home inside the **newly renovated Lunchbox** in **Underground Atlanta**—a fresh space for dancers, listeners, and music lovers to come together under one roof. Overseen by **Funmi Ononaiye**, Distinctive remains committed to honoring the culture while creating space for the next chapter of Atlanta's dance music story. No trends. No gimmicks. Just music with purpose, played for people who understand. **DISTINCTIVE 2026** **Friday • September 4** **Lunchbox • Underground Atlanta** Joe Claussell Kai Alcé Ctrlzora & Playr1 Come early. Stay open. Dance until the music says it's time.
