Tickets

Durations wraps up its club programming with two mindblowing live sets, two masters of atmosphere, an IDM-meets-club moment, one of LA’s most eclectic selectors, and a spaceship to the universe that is UPSTAIRS.

Rome’s Luigi Tozzi is renowned for his contemporary yet timeless take on hypnotic Italian techno; a reputation which has been maintained through a residency at Tbilisi club Khidi. Ambient and dub influences swirl together, forming an aqueous, engulfing solution that permeates the mind and the room around it. His productions lean toward the minimal, finding home primarily on Sweden’s Hypnus Records and Spain’s Non-Series.

Tokyo-born, Beijing-raised, and now London-based object blue is an experimental artist who combines techno and sound design to produce deeply-personal live sets, remixes for artists such as Seb Wildblood, and guest mixes, e.g., Benji B’s show on BBC Radio 1. Her avant-garde approach to club music marked her one of SoundCloud’s 10 Global Artists to watch in 2020 as well as landed her as the soundtracker for Vivienne Westwood’s Spring/Summer 2020 campaign video.

Vera Logdandi is a community-focused Ukranian producer, techno DJ, and audio-visual artist with standout performances at Bassiani, Panorama Bar, and Tresor. She co-runs label and party series Rhythm Büro, which produces a secret festival in Ukraine that sells out annually. She also serves as a co-owner of 22:22 Studio, a professional mixing and mastering service, and runs the Kashtan radio show, which highlights music from upcoming local electronic artists who are unbound by genre.

Public Records co-founder and member of deep house DJ duo Frank + Tony, Francis Harris, through his solo works, dives into the sonic swells that articulate our most abstract, and sometimes slowest-moving, virtualities. Through found sound, analog synthesis, and concise instrumentation, Harris transcends electronic music commonalities. His albums act as worlds replete with memory, possibility, loss, and a radiant – albeit tenuous – hopefulness for the future.

Ex-T is a cutting-edge, Canada-based producer and affiliate of labels Temple, Garmo, naff recordings, and Lily Record. His razor-sharp productions combine outsider house and breakbeat with IDM and ch/illbient, soliciting dreamy, auditory trips through the “paraworld.”

Andrew “Lovefingers” Hogge runs LA’s ESP Institute, a self-reflective hub for genre-defying, experimental music. His own musical influences vary widely, from ‘60s and ‘70s psych, ‘80s rap and hip-hop, new wave, shoegaze, and anything left of center.

Noods Radio resident Millie McKee is a heartfelt record collector of 10+ years who shares a far-reaching collection of cosmic, spiritual, psychedelic, mind-expanding jazz, rock, and fusion. She also owns the highly-regarded London record store and label Hidden Sounds.
