A benefit concert at Zen West in Baltimore supports Chef Mama Saray, affectionately known as Baltimore’s Food Queen for decades of serving homebound and hungry neighbors through her nonprofit, Prime Time for Unity, and for preparing meals at hundreds of local events and fundraisers. After relocating to Jamaica to care for her husband Ical, their property was heavily damaged by Hurricane Melissa, and he passed away in December 2025. Returning to Baltimore, she raised funds and used her savings to open A Taste of International, but the health department closed it due to the landlord’s unresolved building violations, not because of anything she did. This night of music, food, and community is dedicated to helping her start again, with performances by Voltamatic, The Gayle Harrod Band, and DJ Dubble8. Tickets are $18 in advance with no fees or $20 at the door. A GoFundMe campaign is also available for those wishing to contribute.

The Dolphin sets the stage for a Mischief Night steeped in acid-soaked energy, headlined by a back to back session from Lauren Flax and Mike Servito, with The Dolphin’s resident vampire G I N A guiding the night. Costumes are strongly encouraged. A Detroit native and longtime Brooklyn resident, Lauren Flax has been immersed in music since childhood, first on drums, then guitar and bass. She came up through Detroit’s underground as a resident at the Motor Lounge alongside Mike Servito and others, appeared on the Motor stage at the inaugural Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000, and evolved from early jungle roots into techno, house, and electro. After sharpening her production chops in Chicago, she moved to Manhattan and released an early remix for Le Tigre. Later highlights include Dance Trax Vol. 16 on DJ Haus’s label, a sold-out EP on The Bunker New York, and a creative turn with 2MR following her remix of Pale Blue’s Breathe, which inspired a six track project blending ambient textures with acid house. Since 2019, she has toured the United States and Europe with live analog sets. Mike Servito brings a deeply honed approach shaped by years in Detroit, absorbing influences from the Electrifying Mojo and the Wizard, learning from figures like Mike Huckaby and Claude Young, and cementing his presence within the city’s circuit before relocating to New York. As a core resident of The Bunker, he has taken a jacking sound that fuses house, acid, and techno to dance floors around the world. A pivotal turning point came with his No Way Back after-party set during Movement weekend, recorded with The Bunker New York and Interdimensional Transmissions, which Resident Advisor named its top online mix of the year. He has since appeared at venues such as Panorama Bar in Berlin, XOYO in London, and Contact in Tokyo, along with major festivals including Movement.
