Club, 11PM, Sound Room, The Atrium, Upstairs
Durations: Neel + object blue [live] + Jin Synth + Francis Harris / Ex-T + Lovefingers / Millie McKee
TicketsDurations wraps up its club programming with a live set, three masters of atmosphere, an IDM-meets-club moment, one of LA’s most eclectic selectors, and a spaceship to the universe that is UPSTAIRS.
Long-time collaborator with Donato Dozzy, Italy’s Neel is a true modern day techno craftsman whose surreal and unusual sound is truly unique. His captivating DJ sets and solo live techno shows are built around immersive soundscapes, inviting listeners to explore and be challenged through groove and texture.
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.
Jin Synth is a sound artist and DJ based in London. Seamless blends of various textural and experimental analogue noise elements sit at the core of her artistry. As a DJ, she crafts ethereal, meditative ambience that transports her audience to an abstract realm.
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.
