Secret Planet Presents: Underground System, Big Yuki, & La Lulu

Secret Planet Presents: UNDERGROUND SYSTEM / BIGYUKI / LA LULU as part of Almost Spring Weekender No. 2 at Race Brook Lodge on Saturday, March 8th, 2025.

Night two kicks off with LA LULU, Grammy-winning violinist, producer, vocalist, a triple XXX threat. We follow up with the Italo-Disco, Yes-Wave, House band of your dreams — UNDERGROUND SYSTEM. From there, we migrate back to the Tavern for a choose-your-own-adventure: (1) BIGYUKI plays a solo set w/ drum machine in the sunroom, and (2) the basement party fires up: BUSQUELO (Present Present) followed by PETER MATSON & BONI TRAXTON (Razor-n-Tape).

Japanese keyboardist and songwriter Masayuki Hirano (Tribe Called Quest, Lauryn Hill, Kamasi Washington) bends genres into a pretzel with his electronica-laced jazz, hip-hop, and classical explorations. He’s back this year with two solo sets — one for the sunset hour and one for the late night.

Undergound System is the multi-culti, electro-disco, post-afrobeat, retro-futurist, baile funk, Yes-Wave global dance punk band of your dreams. Led by flautist Domenica Fossati, an Italian-American hailing from Miami via Venezuela whose energy channels David Byrne and Fela Kuti about evenly.

Spicy without pepper. Hotter than a volcano. Triple threat : vocalist, dancer and Latin Grammy award winner violinist.First of her name. Meet La Lulu. Ninguna simplona. Think Nathy Peluso or Noga Erez gone Amazonian psychotropic.

PETER MATSON & BONI TRAXTON: The creative duo behind Underground System (Razor-N-Tape) are both hip-deep in the NYC dance scene as DJs/selectors. They close out the Weekender on Saturday night in the social club.

Nat Rahav aka BUSQUELO selects deep, sublime and multicultural sounds for discerning dancefloors. He is the founder of a magical little music festival called Present Present, which was once hosted at Race Brook Lodge much like this Weekender.

Race Brook Lodge is a hidden gem in The Berkshires, at the foot of Mt. Race and a short hike from the Appalachian trail. The yoga & event barn at Race Brook is simultaneously rustic and sublime, steeped in hundreds of years of New England history. The Stagecoach Tavern is unpretentious fine dining, exquisite farm-to-table cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Much of the food is sourced from Race Farm, right on the property!
