Put me in a room and turn on the machines
…October 17th
TL;DR - I’m putting on a night in a newish space in London and spreading the word through this mag and email - private ticket link here: https://ra.co/events/2235041
There are lots of things I dislike about the music scene. There are lots of things I dislike about the industry around it. Maybe one day I’ll be the person who wants to occupy myself with those. Up to now I have never found much use in being that way inclined.
The approach I have always wanted to do in my life is to think, what do I like? What’s good? What do I want to be contributing to help the things that I think are good? What doesn’t exist that should? Can I do that? Let’s beee constructive. If you wanna tear holes in things, fine, but that just hasn’t ever led me to any great places.
When it comes to the crux of the thing I do for a living - DJing - I have spent the last few years thinking about how to create nights that have a special energy to them. One that is always kinda shifting but always kinda good. One that reflects the best of the moment we are in. It’s what is behind the nights I put on with Objekt (Everything is True) in Berlin. It was also behind the night Peach and I put on in London last year (Pearls). In Berlin we organise it through Telegram, maybe occasionally posting a story about it for anyone new who wants to be involved (without going too deep the crowd are as much a part of the night as the soundsystem or the DJ, we do this together). For Pearls we decided to use WhatsApp and let people know through personal invites and then letting them add people to the group. This year I wanted to find another new venue in London and try another approach of promoting, just using emails and arpozine, and see where we get to.
So, we have a warehouse that is attached to an actual rum factory. A Martin Audio system. And hopefully a cute crowd… and me playing music all night :)
Here is a ticket link that for now remains private, but of course you have it now and so please feel free to share it with anyone that might be keen. A million thanks and hope to see some of you next month!
