A black and white event flyer with bold, high-contrast text on a textured background. The top features a large “B.O.S.S.” logo in bold serif font, with a small logo between the letters: an illustrated pie with arms and legs, labelled "PIEHOUSE CO-OP."  The flyer announces B.O.S.S.’ upcoming summer party. Below, details of the date, time, location, music genres, DJs, and activities are laid out in a layered, collage-like style. A black balloon floats at the centre between two illustrated speaker stacks. Stars are scattered throughout the layout. The background is crumpled, with a grainy texture.

Black Obsidian Sound System is a Black, Q***r, and Trans Collective.

Founded in 2018 to unite Q***r, Trans, and Non-binary people of colour in art, sound, and radical activism.

Based in London, we offer a sound system resource for community groups and institutions prioritizing the safety and comfort of Black people, people of colour, femmes, qu**rs, and trans individuals while challenging all forms of oppressions

We value collective effort, sustainability, and accessibility, ensuring fair compensation for all labour. BOSS upholds a zero-tolerance policy for abuse or violence, making decisions aligned with our guiding principles of care, accountability, and resource redistribution.

B.O.S.S is growing and we’re opening the doors to new members 💥

We are a Black, Q***r & Trans collective passionate about sound, community, and culture. We’re looking for individuals who share these interests to join our core collective.

You’ll need to be London-based, committed to 5 hrs/month, and enthusiastic to collaborate.

Skills like sound engineering, driving, event production, social media, AV are a big plus - alongside alignment with the collective values. If this is you we’d love to hear from you!
