showcases a blend of "music aimed at moving the mind rather than the feet; we aim to create a dark, relaxed atmosphere where patrons can enjoy a broad range of esoteric music in a convivial environment."*
"I’m going to go ahead and declare 'Folk Division' as the gutsiest DJ night in Dallas. If you’re not acquainted with neofolk, it’s goth and industrial music’s slightly gentler but still terrify
ing offshoot, with more historically accurate ties to the handed-down peoples’ music of Europe. It’s simply some of the gloomiest art ever made, as it doesn’t have the same crutch of the beat quite the way that so many other genres do." - Christopher Mosley, D Magazine: http://bit.ly/GzxDTM
Founding and resident DJs include:-
Ragnarok (Erin Powell of Awen)
Death Church (Oliver Sheppard of Atrocity Exhibition & Total War!)
Keith P (Black Fridays/Funeral Party)
