On the night of May 31st, 300 New Yorkers—Jewish, gentile, religious, spiritual, and secular—gathered at Public Records for DJ Chaia’s Yiddish Electronic album release party. The long-awaited album is her first full-length work of kleztronica. “An emerging genre” spearheaded by Chaia, kleztronica “combines techno with Yiddish music to create a joyous rave-space infused with Yiddish culture.” The event featured Jewish anti-Zionist, anti-capitalist, queer organizations including Making Mensches, as well as the Workers Circle, a secular Yiddish diasporist organization advocating for economic and social justice. She told the story of the Bund, a Jewish socialist movement that emerged in Eastern Europe in the late 19th century aiming to cultivate secular Yiddish culture, a strong diasporic Jewish identity, and firm opposition to Zionism. The Bundist concept of doikayt, or hereness—the notion that rather than immigrate to the Land of Israel, diaspora Jewry ought to cultivate a future wherever they reside—echoes throughout Yiddish Electronic.
